Install the server-side component

The Infor System Console install program requires a configuration protection passkey. You must know this passkey before you attempt to run the installation program.

If this is the first time you are running the install program, you will be required to define the passkey following passkey complexity rules. For more information, see Administering the Configuration Protection Passkey.

  1. If you are planning to use the Derby database instead of an RDBMS, ensure that the Derby network server is running.
  2. Navigate to where you downloaded the SystemConsoleWebServices.jar file.
  3. At the command line, type

    java -jar SystemConsoleWebServices.jar

  4. At the Configuration Protection dialog box, enter the configuration passkey for the install program, confirm the passkey and then click OK. Click the Help button to view the passkey complexity rules.
