Run the Third-Party Software Batch File

APM Connect requires third-party software files for FTP capabilities and improved Java performance. This topic describes how to incorporate these components into the jobs.

Steps

On your APM Connect server, access your APM Connect installation package, and then navigate to the Jobs folder.
Right-click on the folder ApplyThirdPartySoftware_0.1.zip, and then select Extract All.
The Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders window appears.
Select Extract.
The files are extracted, and the folder ApplyThirdPartySoftware_0.1 appears in the same directory.
Download the third party software files, and then create a directory on the APM Connect server containing those files.
Open a command prompt, and navigate to <root>ApplyThirdPartySoftware_0.1\ApplyThirdPartySoftware.
Enter the following command: ApplyThirdPartySoftware_run.bat --context_param JOBS_DIR=<JOB PACKAGE DIR> --context_param THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE_DIR=<YOUR THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE_DIR>.
- <JOB PACKAGE DIR>: Replace with the filepath to the directory that contains the job zip files (e.g., C:/APMConnect/Jobs).
- <YOUR THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE_DIR>: Replace with the filepath for the directory that you created in step 4 (e.g., C:/APMConnect/ThirdPartySoftware).
Hint: When entering a directory in a command prompt window, the file path must use the forward slashes.
Execute the command by pressing Enter.
The adapter jobs are updated with the third-party software component, and a message appears on the command prompt window, indicating that the update is complete. Additionally, a new folder is created: updated_jobs.
Note: The jobs contained in the updated_jobs folder are the jobs that will be used to facilitate the data transfer from the source to GE Digital APM.
