Oracle Transparent Gateway

This chapter describes how to install the gateway software from the distribution CD-ROM. This chapter includes the following sections:


Note:

For installation and configuration information on Enterprise Integration Gateways, refer to the Oracle Transparent Gateway for IBM DRDA Installation and User's Guide Release 9.2.0.1.0 for UNIX Systems, Oracle Procedural Gateway for APPC Installation and Configuration Guide Release 9.2.0.1.0 for UNIX Systems, and Oracle Procedural Gateway and Tools for IBM MQSeries Installation and User's Guide Release 9.2.0.1.0 for UNIX Systems.

System Requirements for Oracle Transparent Gateway

Review your system's hardware and software to ensure that it meets requirements, and determine gateway configuration before you install the gateway. Gateway components can be located on one platform or distributed over several platforms.

Oracle Corporation supports the software configurations described in this section as long as the underlying system software products are supported by their respective vendors. Verify the latest support status with your system software vendors.

Use the installation worksheet provided for your configuration to ensure that you have all required information before beginning installation.

The following sections describe system requirements for gateway configuration, and provide worksheets to use during the installation:
