Here we will describe the steps to install the source and programs as stated in Intro section.

The files will be copied to a CD and sent to the Client by air-mail.

Contents of CD (folder labels):
CD1
1) Oracle_10g

CD2
2) Compiere253Source
3) Compiere253Binary
4) Java5
6) Toad
7) EclipseSource
8 ) ApacheAnt

CD3
1) Compiere252
2) FixedAssets
3) red1Forums
4) red1Tutorials
5) Tomcat5.5


Note: All the above is for Windows Environment. Thus setup the Dev1 and Dev2 machines first. Live Linux has to be out of this learning curve loop and of 2nd priority.
( i have to download some of the source and compile the copy ETD tomorrow)
There will be a 3rd CD for MeccaEnv which we will convey when there in Medan. Above shall be alot to mange for a start. Instructions shall follow here:

[Usman]

thanks for making the copy.
One more thing, we are going to setup CVS also.
We need to know how to set this up,
will appreciate your detail instructions.

[red1]

The CVS is to be done online via your broadband.
Thats why u cannot use any source outside CVS. The source i am sending u is considered backup and must not be synchronised with the eventual CVS. I would list down the complete CVS process, which will take from CVS from scratch.

U can use the backup for initial self-study first.

[red1]

I have succesfully built and compiled latest source to binary. Here are the steps once u get the CDs (shuld be next week).

You can make your Server having 4 partitions (C, D, E, F)

C for normal systems
D for Developers Environment
E for Applications/Utilities
F for Backups and Source Files

0) Oracle 10g CD - install as per site instruction; Install to E.

1) install java 5 - Install to E:

2) set java_home in utils/MyDevEnv.bat
>set Compiere root to E:

3) source/util_dev/RUN_build

4) Compiere2/RUN_setup (disconnect from internet when doing this)

5) utils/ImportCompiere.bat
>Migrate? > No

(DB version is usually given later by Compiere, as members get it first. Later i will show how to set the version date to be same. )

Force Use to experience the whole package. If there are errors then we may fall back earlier version. To me there is no impact to MRP which we are customising anyway. Its more prudent to use earlier version as i have matured most of the bugs in 252d.

DHL has picked up the CDs and u can track in DHL site with this Air Waybill no: 117 3917 651

I sent 3 CDs with contents as stated in above post. I also inserted my invoice/receipt inside the CD box. Pls open carefully.

[Usman]

Have received the CDs.
Now trying to setup dev servers.

[Usman]

I follow the instruction in www.compiere.org when installing oracle,
and set the database name as dev2.growthasia.erp.
After the installation finished, I tnsping dev2 successfully but fail if
tnsping dev2.growthasia.erp, probably this is because I have not yet
set DNS sever.
Could you pls give me instruction to properly set DNS server ?
Or could we just omit the domain name (.growthasia.erp) in development
stage ? if so how to change the database name ?

[Usman]

Hv solve oracle connection problem by reinstall it and set
global database name same as sid = dev2.
Compiere 253 binary is up & running.
Tried to import compiere source in Eclipse, but get many errors.
Pls. give more detail instruction.

[red1]

About ping, go for the minimal, probably just use IP class instead of DNS.

About Eclipse Import u have to go thru and read the errors, paste some here for us to understand.

Sometimes its just your Java home. Rite click on project
>Propeties
>Java Build Path
>Libraries
>at the bottom ensure that its Java5

If not
>Edit or do sumting to make it so.

So lets rule out them one by one. Shuld be quite easy in the end, u will see.

[Usman]

Seems that Java build path is Ok, I can see Java 5 sit at the bottom.
The errors source from following files :

- ImpFormat.java
- MImpFormat.java
- CalloutOrder.java
- CompierePrincipal.java
- GridField.java
- GridTab.java
- GridTable.java

Here is the errors list : http://www.red1.org/barn/medan/ImportError.txt

I check to our ISP, and it is their policy to block ping request from other ISP for security reason but ssh port is open.

Btw, regarding startup site visit pls. reconfirm the schedule. I think Gan is also coming rite, if so then pls. update me his name, passport no and other details for flight ticket booking.

[Gan MH]

Pls check whether the Java Compiler is set correctly.

Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > JDK Compliance > Compiler compliaance level > 5.0

[red1]

Yes, the steps shown by Gan is the remedy to those errors that i also got before.

Thus take note that u can tune the Eclipse environment to handle both Java1.4 or Java5 from there.

Next time just copy and paste relevant portion of the bug in the forum so that we can identify it right away.

Pls setup from binary (steps given before) for Client Users to get on their hands-on practice. Cos the learning curve takes time.

[Usman]

Yes, the error is gone but in turn we got warning message, this should be
normal rite.
have done it, we have set dev1 & dev2 up, and anna, sasioso & myselft as client.

[red1]

We will be sending version 253a into CVS by today. Pls checkout from there so that we are synched and any changes will be easily and quickly tracked.

DB changes from your side must have backups. From time to time we may require your DB to put in any new data or troubleshoot it.

Your data is highly confidential and we here will safeguard its privacy and remove it when not in use.

[Usman]

Noted, will checkout tomorrow
