To install RMXCI, complete the following steps:

1. Perform the pre-installation procedures.

Before installing RMXCI, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver

must be installed on the client workstation. Installing Perl and Python is optional.

• “Installing and verifying the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)” (page 12)

• “(Optional) Installing Perl or Python” (page 14)

2. Perform the installation procedures.

“Installation procedure” (page 14)

Pre-installation procedures

• “Installing and verifying the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)” (page 12)

• “Installing and verifying the NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver” (page 13)

• “(Optional) Installing Perl or Python” (page 14)

Installing and verifying the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

RMXCI and the NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver require a compatible Java version to be installed on

the client workstation. JRE 1.5 and later Java versions are supported. JRE 1.4.2 and earlier versions

are not supported.

If you are using U.S. Daylight Savings Time (DST), the start and stop dates for DST will change

from the first Sunday in April to the second Sunday in March, and from the last Sunday in October

to the first Sunday in November. To avoid using incorrect time, make sure that your Java Runtime

Environment uses the correct DST rules. JRE 1.4.2_11 and later versions support the new DST rules.
