Configuring the Sample Applications for UNIX
Configuring the sample applications consists of adding the sample data to a database and configuring the new datasource so that the application can access the data. These tasks are automated by invoking the appropriate shell script for your database. The shell scripts are provided with the sample applications. To configure the sample applications for UNIX Make sure the destination database is running and that you have modified the shell scripts login and password to match that of your database administrator account. To connect to the database and load the data, do one of the following: For Oracle databases, invoke the following shell script: /opt/KIVAes/APPS/GXApp/load_ora.sh For Sybase databases, invoke the following shell script: /opt/KIVAes/APPS/GXApp/load_mssql.sh For Informix databases, invoke the following shell script: /opt/KIVAes/APPS/GXApp/load_ifmx.sh You can also invoke these files from within the database client utilities. Make sure you connect to the database as a system user. The sample data is loaded when the shell script finishes running. If you are going to access the database through an ODBC driver, open the odbc.ini file and add ksample as a datasource and a database name. Follow the format of the other entries to do this properly. To configure the new datasource for access through a native driver, do one of the following: For Oracle databases, use the Oracle Network Manager to add the datasource to the tnsnames.ora file, or edit the file manually. This file might reside on the local Oracle database, or in the Oracle Name Server, if you are supporting distributed datasources. For Sybase databases, use the sybinit or dsedit utility to add the datasource to the interfaces file, or edit the file by manually. For Informix databases, the native database driver is implemented as an ODBC driver. Therefore, to add the sample datasource, edit the odbc.ini file. The sample datasource is now configured and can be accessed by the sample applications.
