Installing with Root User

Procedure

  1. Download the package from the TIBCO download site https://edelivery.tibco.com.

    You are required for a user name and password for downloading. If you do not receive a user name and password, contact TIBCO Support.

  2. Unzip the package to a local directory.
  3. Upload the installation package cyberzlinux.64.tar in binary format to a temporary directory on the z/Linux system.
    You can use multiple ways to upload the file to the z/Linux system. For example, to use FTP to copy the package, you can use the following commands at the DOS command prompt: 
    ftp z/Linux_machine_name/IP_address 
cd /usr/tmp
bin 
put cyberzlinux.64.tar
bye
  4. Configure the z/Linux system.
    1. Log in to the z/Linux system with the root account.
    2. Create a group called cfadmin using the groupadd command.
      You must define this group before running the install script.
  5. On the command line, navigate to the temporary directory where the installation package is located.
  6. Use the tar command to extract the installation files.

    tar -xvf MFT_tar_file_name

    For example, 

    tar -xvf cyberzlinux.64.tar

  7. Run the install script by using the following command.
     ./install
    Note: For information about configuring command line options when you run the script, see the supported installation parameters.
    1. Press Enter after you finish reading the license agreement, and then type Yes to accept the license agreement.
    2. Type Y or y to accept the default installation directory /mftps.
      If you want to choose another directory, type N or n so you can enter an installation path. The new directory is created if it does not exist.
    3. If you are installing in the same directory as a prior installation, type Y or y to restore the existing configuration files or type N or n to bypass restoring the configuration files.
      If you do not restore the existing configuration files, they are saved in folder: $CFROOT/BACKUP_CONFIG.
    4. Type Y or y to accept the default group names: cfadmin, cftransfer, and cfbrowse.
      If you want to choose another group, type N or n so you can enter each group name. For more information, see Group Requirements.
    5. Type Y or y if you want to create symbolic links in the /usr/lib directory for each file in the /libs directory.
    6. Type Y or y to create a Command Center (CC) node. Enter the node name, host, and port when prompted.
    7. Review the following information in the final installation message:
      • Location of the configuration file (by default $CFROOT/config): you can use the configuration file to configure server settings. For more information, see TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/Linux User's Guide.

      • At the end of the installation, you are prompted to update three environment variables:

        - CFROOT: Defines the Platform Server for z/Linux installation directory

        - PATH: Defines the path where the Platform Server for z/Linux executables are located.

        - LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or LIBPATH for AIX): Defines where runtime libraries are located.

        Note: It is recommended to add the environment variables to your login profile. These three environment variables must be set before executing any transfers or starting the TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/Linux Responder daemon.
      Note: All the executables, such as (cfdir, cfinq, cfnode, cfprofile, cfrprofile, cfsend, cfrecv, cfstart, cfstop, substart, fusping, fusutil, CyberResp) are saved in the $CFROOT/bin folder when the installation is completed.
