To indicate the executables to build, edit the
makefile
in your application
directory:
1.
Comment or uncomment the appropriate client executables as needed (these
are uncommented by default):
PRORUN = prorun
Runtime executable
PRODEV = prodev
Development executable
RWRUN = rwrun
Report batch utility
For platforms that have been installed with web application server software,
comment or uncomment the server executable as needed:
JSERVER = jserver
Web application server executable (uncom-
mented by default)

SMBASE
,
uncomment the appropriate lines in the

If you have the Prolifics web application server on the same machine as other
Prolifics software, it is recommended that they be installed in the same
directory. However, if they are not in the same directory, set
WEBBASE
(in
WEB
PARAMETERS
section) to the web application server installation directory.

is installed by default for clients. If you do not wish to use the debugger,
comment the lines in the
DEBUGGER PARAMETERS

Uncomment the appropriate
include
statement in the
SELECT DATABASE

makefile
.
By default, JDB is uncommented. If you choose another database, you can
leave JDB uncommented (and include it in your executable), or you can
comment out JDB and include only your database.
