Overview

This document describes the installation steps necessary to use the library.

Step #1: Install the ControlTier platform software

This library assumes you have installed the latest stable release of the ControlTier platform software on a a designated server host and one or more client hosts. Refer to the general ControlTier installation procedures for more info.

You will need to know the URL to the Workbench and JobCenter applications.

Step #2: Download the library archive

Binary distributions of the library can be found in the "File Releases" section of the ModuleForge Download page on Sourceforge. The package is called "Rdb Data Deployment Library" and will be named something like: rdb-seed-x.y.jar where "x.y" denote the version.

It is always suggested to download the latest release.

Step #3: Choose or create a project

All work is done within the context of a "project". You may already have a project in mind, or you may wish to create a new one just for the use of this library.

Note
If you are new to ControlTier and are not sure about projects see the Projects section in the ProjectBuilder tutorial.
  1. Navigate to the Admin page. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/menu/Admin
  2. Press the "Create Project" button. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/projects/Input
  3. Fill out the form and press "Create" button. It takes a few minutes for the new project to be created.

Step #4: Load the library archive

Once you have chosen the desired project, you can load the library into that project.

Be sure you have already logged into Workbench and selected the desired project where you want the library loaded. If you just created a new project, you are all ready.

  1. Navigate to the Admin page. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/menu/Admin
  2. Press the "Import Seed" button. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/projects/ImportSeedInput
  3. Locate and select the rdb-seed-x.y.jar file in the file chooser. This is the same file you downloaded in step #2.
  4. Press the "Import" button. It takes a few minutes for Workbench to load the library.

Once the library has been installed into your chosen project the next step is to configure these modules for use.
