IBM B2B Sterling Integrator (SI) and Sterling File Gateway Installation Procedure

1. Install and Configure Sterling Integrator DB. Follow the below link to create and configure database,
         http://sirishg.blogspot.com/2012/12/sterling-integrator-oracle-user-and.html

2. Update License Set.
   Need to update the License Set because while installing SI it will take the out of box license file which needs to be overriden after post installation. Below command will update the Sterling Integrator license,
         InstallDirectory/bin$ AddLicenseSet.sh
        
3. Start SI and go to Operations --> System --> Licenses and do List All and check all carefully that we have got license for all
   required SI components for instance File Gateway Core
   Note: Check under InstallDirectory/properties/licensefiles for SI and SFG License.
 
4. Shutdown Sterling Integrator and proceed for Sterling File Gateway Installation
   InstallDirectory/bin$ InstallService.sh
   Note: We will find SFG under InstallDirectory/packages/filegateway_XXX.jar
 
5. After installation start SI we will be automatically pointed to filegateway URL.

​​Note: Only important factor here is before we trigger SFG installation we need to make sure we have valid licese for SFG, Otherwise your installation will be semi completed.
