Pre-Installation Checklist for Request Broker & ODBC to JDBC Bridge Agent Server Agents (Mac OS X)

DBMS Requirements

You need to know a variety of information pertaining to your target JDBC database:

• Your target database must be JDBC and SQL compliant.
  
• You must possess enough knowledge to establish a JDBC connection to this database using third-party or native JDBC drivers.

Software Requirements

• You must have 3rd-party JDBC drivers that connect to the target database. These drivers must be installed on the local Mac OS X machine.

Configuration Requirements

• OpenLink's Generic ODBC to JDBC Bridge agents must be installed on the same machine as third-party JDBC or drivers that connect to the target database.

• You should configure a System DSN using your 3rd-party ODBC drivers.

• You must know whether TCP ports 5000 and 8000 are in use on the local Mac OS X machine. These ports are used by OpenLink's Request Broker and Web-based Admin Assistant. You will need to allocate different ports for these two services during installation.
