Installing SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response

This section describes the installation of the Distributed7 (D7) package and its associated D7 Enablement package on different types of SS7 configuration.. To simplify the installation in an SS7 cluster, the order of machine-types on which you install should be as follows:

Single system image (SSI) server
SS7 Server
Blueworx Voice Response client

Pre-installation checking
A critical element in ensuring that the D7 package runs correctly is for the dtuser userid (or whichever userid is used) to be the same on all machines within the SS7 cluster.
Locating the required files
The D7 and the D7 Enablement packages are installed from the following locations:
Installation on an SSI server
This section tells you how to install SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response on a Blueworx Voice Response SSI server. The installation of these packages onto this machine must conform to Blueworx Voice Response standards on loading custom servers onto SSI machines (see the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: General Information and Planning for more information).
Installation of SS7 Adapters
The SS7 adapters can be installed in the same PCI slots that are supported by DTTA cards. For more information see Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: General Information and Planning, and refer to the SS8 "Distributed7 Installation and Maintenance" book that is provided on the SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response CD.
Installation on an SS7 Server
This section tells you how to install the SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response onto an AIX SS7 Server. There are five stages to installing and configuring the SS7 Server:
Installation on a Blueworx Voice Response client
This section tells you how to install SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response onto a standard WebSphere Voice Response with or without SSI support. There are five stages to installing and configuring the Blueworx Voice Response client:
Installation of a combined SS7 Server and Blueworx Voice Response client
This section tells you how to install SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response on an AIX machine for both SS7 Server and Blueworx Voice Response client configuration. There are five stages to installing and configuring the SS7 Server:
Putting into production
Once the D7 and D7 Enablement packages have been installed, successfully configured, and have passed testing, there are a number of actions required to ensure that the packages will auto-restart if the machine is rebooted:
