Notes for version 1.1.0 for *nix users

[Hans B Pufal]

Version 1.1.0 installation on *nix systems requires that the shell scripts KeepEF/runEF.sh,  ea/runServer.sh and swa/runServer.ea all be made executable. These script files also use the Windows convention of cr-lf to terminate lines, the cr characters need to be removed. (Assuming that the installation is is directory KeepEF).

Before running KeepEF/runEF.sh be sure that the servers have been started. The following bash script can be used, install it in KeepEF :

<code>
#!/bin/sh
cd ea
./runServer.sh &
cd ../swa
./runServer.sh &
</code>

Once started the servers continue running indefinitely, you can kill them from a shell terminal or logout your user then login again.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your comments. We previously looked into making the shell scripts executable and couldn't do it, but is seems that this is now supported in the version of the installer we use. This will be included in the next release. The CR-LF line endings is a mistake that slipped through in our last build, thanks for spotting it and this has now been rectified, and will also be part of the next release.

Starting of the EA and SWA servers is outlined in the administrator section of the System User Guide (see p. 24), but we've had more reports of users getting confused, so we'll improve the documentation and also ensure the EF warns the users if the archives can't be reached. Again, this will be included in the next release.

Version 2.0 will be released at the end of February, so look out for that.

Regards,
Bram Lohman
