Hardware

The requirement for hardware is very low. The smallest hardware configurations tested are: 

• PC with Pentium 233 M CPU, 96 M memory. 
• Sun Ultra 10 with one 450 M CPU, 128 M memory.

These are minimum requirement. You probably need better hardware. 

Disk space requirement is low: about 4M.

Software

JDK (Java) must be installed and ready to run.

We do not support Exceed. If you run installation on Unix environment, please do it on a native Unix machine. You do not really need Exceed: 

• If you directly working on that Unix machine, you do not need Exceed.
• If you access that Unix machine remotely, you can use Command line install.  
• If you access that Unix machine remotely, you can install Super (the client) on your local machine, either Windows or Unix machine. The Operating System on the client machine does not have to be the same as the one on the serer machine.
• If you install Super (client) on a Windows machine, you do not need Exceed.

We encountered core dump when we used Exceed (7.0) with JDK 1.2. It seems okay when we use JDK 1.3 from Sun. Some users have reported problems using IBM JDK 1.4. You can try Exceed, but if you have problem, please go to a native Unix machine instead.

Privilege required

Sufficient privilege is required for installation and execution. You need write privilege for the installed directory and sub directories.

For execution: You need write privilege for installed directory (default is AceletSuper) and sub directories. You need read and execution privileges for scheduled applications.

Install

When you unzip the downloaded file to a directory, Super is ready to run.

We recommend the name of the directory be AceletSuper. The document use that name as default home directory of Super.

Uninstall

Delete the directory.

Note: the demo database is under this directory. If you have user data in the demo database, make sure you copied the data out before you delete the directory. You may need to run a script to stop the demo database:
1. Unix: sh stopDatabase.sh
2. Windows: stopDatabase
 

Tested platforms

Super is written entirely in Java. It runs on any platform which supports Java.

Tested platforms are:

• IBM hardware System I RedHat 4.
• IBM hardware pSeries  AIX 3 5.
• IBM hardware pSeries  RedHat 4.
• IBM hardware xSeries  RedHat 4.
• IBM hardware xSeries  Windows 2003.
• IBM hardware zSeries (mainframe S390)   RedHat 4.
• Linux: RedHat 7.3, server 3.
• Linux: SUSE 8 (kernel  2.4.19-4GB) (IBM xSeries).
• Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 10 (Sparc).
• Windows 2000, XP.

Set your environment

This is an advanced topic.

The following files are created by the installation program for setting your environment variables on the client side:
    setEnvironment.bat   (for Windows)
    setEnvironment.sh     (for Unix)

Those files are on Super Home (the installed directory).

If you need to set additional CLASSPATH, you can specify it in this file.

Install, run and uninstall default database

This is an advanced topic.

The Simple install option of the installer installs a local database as part of the installation on sub-directory database of Super Home (default is AceletSuper), as the default database. The default database is  open source Java database HypersonicSQL.  It is for and demo only. 

For production use, you can replace it with your favorite database..

Run the default database

When Super starts, it starts the local demo database (the default one, if it exists). When Super is terminated, the local database will not be shutdown by Super automatically.

Stop the default database

Run stopDatabase.bat (for Windows) or stopDatabase.sh (for Unix) under database directory.

Use other database as default database

This is an advanced topic.

You can use any SQL database as your database. You need database schema for creating tables for that database. There some schemas for other databases under the directory schema.
