Completing Installation (UNIX and Other Platforms)
Completing the installation and starting JDesignerPro
JAGGServer must always be running first to run JDesignerPro. JAGGServer needs only to be running on the machine on which JDesignerPro is installed. If you are building remotely trough a browser, you do not need JAGGServer on your machine, just on the server. Wait for JAGGServer to display the message "JAGGServer Running on port: 4899"
Now launch JDesignerPro one of these ways:
- Start a Java-compatible browser and go to http://localhost/JDesignerPro/default.htm or http://localhost/JDesignerPro/index.htm. Where "localhost" is your server machines domain or IP address. (Note: for Windows users, if you click on the JDesignerPro HTML file, it will try to launch JDesignerPro from a local file, which will not work properly. You must type in the http:// path as above into your browser.)
- From a command line enter the following:
/jdk1.1.3/bin/java -classpath .:/jdk1.1.3/lib/classes.zip JDesignerPro http://1.1.1.1/JDesignerPro/ 01001
You would obviously need to replace the 1.1.1.1 with your machine domain name or IP address.
The first time you run JDesignerPro you will go through a system setup, described below.
- The first thing youll see is the license agreement. Read the agreement and press the Accept button if you are willing to accept the terms.
- Next you will see the setup window with Username and Password fields and an area for selecting a JDBC database to install the JDesignerPro system tables.
Here you set the Administrators account name and password that you will use to access your JDesignerPro system. Use Admin or any name of your choice.
- Press the New button.
- Enter the name you would like to use within JDesignerPro to refer to the database where the JDesignerPro system tables will reside.
- Choose the JDBC driver for your database from the pulldown. If your driver does not exist then enter it.
- Choose the JDBC prefix for your database from the pulldown. If your prefix does not exist then enter it.
- Enter the suffix string to be used to connect to the database. Typically this will be an @ if the database resides on the same machine as JDesignerPro. If is on a different machine you would enter the machine name and port in the format database.mydomain.com:8000.
- Enter the username and password to access the database. Typically this user will require the ability to create tables in the database.
- Press the Install JDP button.
- JDesignerPro will then create the system tables and allow you to log in with your new Admin username and password.
If you encounter errors and you have successfully made a JDBC connection to your database using the sample code provided by the JDBC vendor please contact BulletProof Support.
We recommend doing the tutorials so that you can quickly become proficient with JDesignerPro.
The next time you start JDesignerPro you will be prompted with the login window. Enter your Admin username and password or login as Guest with no password. Remember, in all JDesignerPro systems, the Guest account is a default user which never requires a password.
