The chapter discusses the following topics:

“Components of the MX connectivity service” (page 19)

“Starting an MXCS Service manually” (page 21)

“List of Installed Files” (page 23)

“Migrating from SQL/MX Release 2.3.4 to SQL/MX Release 3.2” (page 23)

“Creating the default catalog and schema for MXCS” (page 25)

“Uninstalling MXCS from the Server” (page 25)

Components of the MX connectivity service

To fully install all components of connectivity service, you must install the following:

• MXCS server components on a NonStop system

NOTE: For systems running on J06.05 and later J-series RVUs or H06.16 and later Hseries

RVUs, the MXCS server minor version is 3.0 and the MXCS server major version is 3. MXCS

will support older versions of connectivity clients.

• To run NSM/web:

A workstation with Internet Explorer 6.0 or later and Java Runtime Environment 1.5 or

later.

◦

◦ NSM/web server components and an installed web server on the NonStop system.

• ODBC/MX client interface or other connectivity API, such as JDBC, on any Windows machine.

• MXCS Configuration and Metadata Tables

The InstallSqlmx script creates the following MXCS configuration tables in the system catalog

under MXCS_SCHEMA:

DATASOURCESNAME2ID

RESOURCEPOLICIESASSOC2DS

ENVIRONMENTVALUES

For more information about these tables, see theHP NonStop SQL/MX Release 3.2 Reference

Manual.

Installation Requirements

Before MXCS is installed and configured, you must verify that the following are valid and present

in your environment, in addition to the installation requirements specified for SQL/MX:

DescriptionRequirement

The server components must be installed on a NonStop

system running using an operating system version J06.14

Operating system

and subsequent J-series RVUs or H06.25 or subsequent

H-series RVUs.

Open System Services (OSS) must be installed and

configured. This is necessary because the MXCS SQL

OSS

servers and the SQL/MX compiler and executors run in an

OSS environment.
