Manual Installation Notes

Metamerge Integrator is a pure Java application that runs on the Java 2 platform. The steps below describes how to install Metamerge on a system for which we have no installers. The requirements is that you have a Java2 virtual machine. 

  1. Java2 VM. A good place to find a Java2 VM is java.sun.com. Follow the installation instructions and make a note on where it is installed. You will need the Java2 lib/ext path later.
  2. Unzip the distribution file to an appropriate directory (/home/Metamerge)
  3. The lib/ext and jars subdirectories now contains a number of files with a .jar extension. Copy these files to the lib/ext in your Java2 runtime directory.

    cp /home/Metamerge/jars/* /opt/Java2/jre/lib/ext
    cp /home/Metamerge/lib/ext/* /opt/Java2/jre/lib/ext
  4. If you have the java command in your command path you should be able to start the configuration tool and the Metamerge Server.
  5. The Metamerge directory contains a configuration file called rs.cfg. This configuration file contains basic configurations of the available Connectors. The configuration tool works on a text file which is used by the Metamerge Server.
  6. Start Metamerge admin tool

                    $ cd /home/Metamerge
                    $ java RSAdmin
  7. Start Metamerge server

                    $ cd /home/Metamerge
                    $ java com.architech.RS

Please consult the documentation for further command line options.
