SharePlex Connector for Hadoop 1.5 - Installation and Setup Guide

System Requirements

SharePlex Connector for Hadoop operates in conjunction with a number of third-party products. Ensure these products are installed and operational as documented in the SharePlex Connector for Hadoop Release Notes.

Java Development Kit

Download and Install the Java Development Kit 1.6.0 or above if you have not already done so.

The Java Development Kit is required on the computer where SharePlex Connector for Hadoop is to be installed. It is also required by AcitveMQ.

Ensure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set.

ActiveMQ

Download and Install

Download ActiveMQ from http://activemq.apache.org to the computer where SharePlex for Oracle is installed.

In the lib/providers directory in the SharePlex for Oracle product directory, create the directory activemq and extract the ActiveMQ download to this location.

$tar -xvfz apache-activemq-version-bin.tar.gz

Copy the ActiveMQ JAR file and dependencies from providers/activemq/lib to providers/activemq/.

Start ActiveMQ

Change to the ActiveMQ bin directory lib/providers/activemq/bin/ and start ActiveMQ:

./activemq start

Open the web console to verify ActiveMQ is running ok: http://localhost:8161/admin/ with the username and password "admin".

TIP: To run ActiveMQ on a computer other than the one SharePlex for Oracle is installed: Download and install ActiveMQ as per the instructions above. Additionally, install ActiveMQ on a second computer. Run ActiveMQ from the second computer. The second computer requires network access to SharePlex for Oracle and SharePlex Connector for Hadoop.
