If this is the first time you have loaded JDP you will be prompted with a license agreement form followed by a setup window. In the setup window you will need to choose an ODBC data source where you would like JDP to install it's system tables. You may want to create a separate data source just for JDP. We recommend using the same database as your main database. This will mean that JDP will be backed up along with your regular database.
Be sure that all data sources that you wish to use with JDP are set up as 'System Data Sources' and that they DO NOT have a corresponding User data source with the same name.
Once you have configured JDP and it has been successfully installed on your machine you may want to change the page that loads the applet. You can do this simply by adding the following applet tag to the bottom of an HTML page.
<applet codebase="http://1.1.1.1/JDesignerPro" code=JDesignerPro.class width=10 height=10> <param name="JDPSystem" value="01001"> </applet>where 1.1.1.1 is the IP address of your machine.
Other parameters that you can use in the applet tag are:
Use this parameter to display the JDP application within the browser window.
<param name="JDPInWebPage" value="yes">
Use these parameters to force JDP to automtically log in as the specified user.
<param name="JDPUsername" value="someuser"> <param name="JDPPassword" value="somepassword">
We highly recommend leaving JDP in the directory in which it installs. You can load the applet from any HTML page simply by adding the tag above to your HTML page. If it is necessary to move JDP to another directory you will also have to make the appropriate changes to the JDesignerPro.ini file.
