Client: Post-Installation for UNIX

2-Tier Installation
This assumes that you are using setup script files in your application directory.
If you are using setup script files in the installation directory, replace
applicationDir
with the full pathname to the Prolifics
config
directory, for
example,
/usr/prolifics/config/setup.sh
.
Note: If application variables are set in the user’s environment for previous
versions of JAM or Prolifics, they should be removed so that they do not
interfere with the setup for this version.
6.
If a user’s terminal type is different from the value of
SMTERM
in the setup
script, override that value by adding a line to the
.profile
or
.cshrc
to set
SMTERM
correctly. The line should immediately follow the script invocation.
For example:
.
/usr/prolifics/config/setup.sh
SMTERM=vt100
Alternatively, you can merge the appropriate setup script file into
.profile
or
.cshrc
, and modify the value of
SMTERM
as needed.
Overriding other application variables for a given user can be implemented in
the same way.
Verify the Installation
After you install and configure the Prolifics client, you should verify that it starts
up properly. If Prolifics software is not installed and configured correctly, an
appropriate error message is displayed. Depending on the problem, the program
might also terminate. Refer to Appendix E for a list of the more common error
messages related to system configuration, and how to resolve them.
On a client machine, a correct installation is verified if you can invoke the Prolifics
editor.
To verify a UNIX client installation:
Type
prodev
at the command line.
Look at A Sample Application
Before you begin building your applications, you might want to look at the
following sample application:
VideoBiz (two-tier application)
Run the following script from your home or working directory (make sure your
current directory has write-permissions):
$SMBASE/samples/vidstore/vbizunix
For more information on VideoBiz, refer to the online Developer’s Guide.
