STARTING UP THE SYSTEM

        Last Update : 08/07/02

        Update with recent copy of files from repository.

        Project -> RebuildAll

1.    Starting Server (Model)

• Make sure you are starting the server from a machine that does NOT run VMWare. You can identify it by looking at the number of network connection icons in the system tray, which is usually on the lower right corner of the monitor. If you have only one network connection icon, then the machine is OK to run the server.

            Normally, the monitors with a sticker on top saying 

                    "This machine has special software required by the CSE451 course..."

            means that the machine is running VMWare.    

• Run     update_stub_files.bat   file located inside the DemoProject directory.  This file should be run inside the directory it is in : DemoProject.

            This file needs to be run every time there is a change in ModelRMI and CabConsoleImplementation.

            Otherwise, just run this file once, even if you restart the server several times.

• Run    setup_rmi_model_server.bat     file located inside the DemoProject directory.  This file should be run inside the directory it is in : DemoProject.

            It will pop up a shell window ( we will call this server window ).

• When the server starts, MapperUI pops up. Enter coordinates.

            ex:     x_upper right : 100            x_lower left :  20

                    y_upper right : 70               y_lower left : 30

• After entering coordinates, click on the blank region in the middle to create zones. (you have to click at least once).
• Click on          save.

    * If you see database connection errors on the server window, just close and restart the server.

2.    Starting DispatcherUI

• The server must be running beforehand.
• Run     update_stub_files.bat   file located inside the DemoProject directory.  This file should be run inside the directory it is in : DemoProject.

            This file needs to be run every time there is a change in ModelRMI and CabConsoleImplementation.

            Otherwise, just run this file once, even if you restart the dispatcher UI several times.

• Change the IP address at the end of the last line of      setup_dispatcher_ui_rmi_client.bat      file to  reflect the server's ID address.  Run    setup_dispatcher_ui_rmi_client.bat   file located inside the DemoProject directory.  This file should be run inside the directory it is in : DemoProject.

    * If you have any errors, try to restart.

3.    Starting CabConsole.

• The server must be running beforehand.
• Make sure you are starting the cabconsole from a machine that does NOT run VMWare. You can identify it by looking at the number of network connection icons in the system tray, which is usually on the lower right corner of the monitor. If you have only one network connection icon, then the machine is OK to run the cab console.

            Normally, the monitors with a sticker on top saying 

                    "This machine has special software required by the CSE451 course..." 

            means that the machine is running VMWare.    

• Run     update_stub_files.bat   file located inside the DemoProject directory.  This file should be run inside the directory it is in : DemoProject.

            This file needs to be run every time there is a change in ModelRMI and CabConsoleImplementation.

            Otherwise, just run this file once, even if you restart the CabConsole several times.

• Change the IP address at the end of the last line of      setup_CabConsole.bat   file to  reflect the server's ID address.  Run    setup_CabConsole.bat   file located inside the DemoProject directory.  This file should be run inside the directory it is in : DemoProject.

            Cab ID  and Driver ID should be between 1 and 300.

    * If you have any errors, try to restart.
