Link Enterprise 6.x.x Installation Instructions
Obtain the Latest Installer
Download the latest Link-Enterprise-6.x.x-release.zip from a Gimmal representative.
Extract the Installation Files
Extract the contents of Link-Enterprise-6.x.x-release.zip into your desired installation folder (e.g., C:\LinkEnterprise).
Run the Installation Script
- Navigate to the service folder inside the extracted directory and execute the installation script with administrative privileges:
- Open a Command Prompt with administrative permissions.
- Navigate to the service folder. For example:
- Run the installation script: installservice.bat
- This will configure and install Link Enterprise 6.x.x on your system.
Adjust Windows Service Log On Properties
If folder permissions on the server restrict processing:
- Adjust the Log On properties of the Gimmal Link Enterprise Windows services.
- Use the service account mentioned in the installation requirements.
Extract SAP JCO
- Download SAP JCO:
- Obtain the appropriate SAP JCO 64-bit version from SAP’s marketplace (provided by your SAP Basis team). https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors/jco.html?anchorId=section#section_2129803369
- Place the Extracted Files:
- Extract the contents into the jco folder under lib.
- For Windows installations, ensure sapjco3.dll is also placed in the jco folder.
- Note: If SAP JCO comes as two compressed files, ensure all levels are extracted. The correct files should include sapjco3.jar in the top-level jco folder under lib.
Obtain Authorization Token
- Request a Gimmal Link Enterprise authorization token from a Gimmal representative.
- Use this token during the Gimmal Link Enterprise Connector configuration:
- Enter the token in the active configuration .ini file under the field authentication.token.
- Alternatively, use the GUI navigating to Settings at https://localhost:82.
⚠️ The service will shut down within 30 seconds if no active token is present, so using the .ini file method is recommended for reliability.
