2-Tier Installation
•
In the
databaseName
PARAMETERS
section of
makevars
, verify your
database engine’s version. Uncomment the appropriate block of
parameters based upon this version. Also, verify and correct the
pathnames if necessary.
•
Set the flag
dbs
_ENGNAME
to specify the default engine name.
Before changing these values, refer to the online Database Drivers for
additional information on database engines and on case handling.
Configure the Client Environment
A Prolifics client provides the development environment required to build two-tier
applications. The environment must contain properly set application variables in
order to run Prolifics. To set up the development environment, complete the
following platform-specific steps. Refer to the online Developer’s Guide for more
details on setting up the client environment.
1.
For each client, copy the following files in the installation
config
directory to
each developer’s home directory:
•
.ebtrc
— Used by the online help systems. Copy the file or set the
EBTRC
variable to point to it; refer to Step 4.
•
Prolifics
— X resource file used by the Prolifics client. Copy to each
user’s
app-defaults
directory (if there is one) or to the user’s home
directory.
2.
The setup shell scripts are useful for setting Prolifics application variables.
The setup program determined values for some of these variables, based on
your system’s configuration, and modified the scripts accordingly. Review
setup.sh
(Bourne or Korn shell users) and
setup.csh
(C shell users) in the
application directory (if it exists) or the file
$SMBASE/config/setup.sh
(
$SMBASE/config/setup.csh
) to ensure proper settings for the following
application variables:
•
SMBASE
— Full pathname of the Prolifics installation directory. The
installation recommends
/usr/prolifics
; therefore,
SMBASE
would be
set to equal
/usr/prolifics
. If Prolifics was installed in a different
directory, use that directory’s name.
•
PATH
— Identifies directories to search when looking for executable
programs.
PATH
should include the path to Prolifics’s
util
directory so
that the system can find the development executable (
prodev
) and
Prolifics utilities. If Prolifics’s
util
directory is not on the
PATH
,
business graphs and online help will not work.
