- IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PRINT, READ AND REFER TO THIS READ.ME FILE
- WHILE CONDUCTING THE INSTALLATION
- *******************************************************************************
-
- Welcome to the installation of the Visual Realty Application.
-
- This application comes in two flavors:
- - the application sample:
- this is the sample application as described in the book.
- Only the property subsystem is implemented
-
- - the full application:
- all the subsystems are implemented in this application
- (property, buyer, sale and service subsystems).
-
- To install and run the application you must proceed in the following order:
- 1. Install DB2/2
- 2. Install VisualAge for C++ for OS/2 (if you don't have it)
- 3. Install the Visual Realty Application (full or book versions, or both)
- 4. Install the sample database to run the Visual Realty Application
-
-
- <<<<< After the installation of each component you MUST reboot your machine >>>>
-
-
- To start the installation of each product:
- 1. Open an OS/2 session (window or fullscreen)
- 2. At the command prompt change to your CD-ROM drive
- 3. type INSTALL and validate with the ENTER key
-
- A main panel is displayed. From this main panel, you can install each
- product in the order mentioned above.
-
-
- ===============================================================================
- 1. Installing DB2/2
- ===============================================================================
- To install DB2/V2 on your system, select the product from the main panel
- and push the Install push-button. You are guided to select the products
- you want to install and the disk the products are going to be installed on.
- To run the Visual Realty application you need at least to select the
- IBM DB2 for OS/2 - Single-User product.
-
- Once DB2/2 is installed on your system, you must reboot your system to activate
- the changes in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
-
- ===============================================================================
- 2. Installing VisualAge for C++
- ===============================================================================
- To install VisualAge C++ on your system, select the product from the main panel
- and push the Install push-button. You are guided to select the components
- you want to install and the disk the components are going to be installed on.
- To run the Visual Realty application and build the sample as described in
- the book, you need to install the following components:
- - Compiler and Runtime Libraries
- - WorkFrame
- - Class Browser
- - Visual Builder
- - Data Access Builder
- - IBM Open Class Libraries
- - Standard Class Libraries
- - Warp Toolkit Development Tools
- - Warp Toolkit Headers & Libraries
-
- 84 MB of free-space on your disk are necessary to install the above components,
- 190 MB, if you want to install all the components.
- Even if your system is running OS/2 2.1, you do need to install the Warp Toolkit
- components.
-
- The VisualAge for C++ installation is a two steps process: YOU NEED TO REBOOT
- YOUR SYSTEM AFTER THE FIRST STEP TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.
-
- The trial version of VisualAge for C++ contains already the necessary CSDs
- to run the Visual Realty Application with DB2/2 V2.0.1. One more step
- is necessary to activate the CSDs (see WARNING below).
-
- If you already had VisualAge for C++ installed on your machine, you must
- ensure that you have the following CSDs installed:
- - CTV303 or above (Visual Builder)
- - CTW301 or above (WorkFrame/2)
-
- You can download those CSDs from different sites. Refer to the book
- for the VisualAge for C++ Support.
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- WARNING: Once VisualAge for C++ is installed and the second step of the
- installation is completed, YOU MUST EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING FILES, LOCATED ON
- YOUR CDROM (LET'S SAY G:), IN THIS ORDER:
-
- G:\VACPP\IBMCPP\BIN\CTV302A.EXE
- G:\VACPP\IBMCPP\BIN\CTV302AI.CMD
- G:\VACPP\IBMCPP\BIN\CTV303A.EXE
-
- Also, you must change the Resource Compiler
- options in the default VACPP project (in X:\IBMCPP\MAINPRJ, where X: is the drive
- where VisualAge for C++ has been installed) so
- that it will apply to all your projects that inherit from it.
-
- The default Resource Compiler options are currently set to
- "%q%n.RES". You need to change it to ".\%n.RES" so that the
- correct make file will be generated by MakeMake. Follow these
- steps to accomplish this:
-
- 1) Through the Drives folders, find your VACPP project in
- the \IBMCPP\MAINPRJ\VACPP subdirectory. Open the project.
- 2) Go to the Tools Setup window of the default project.
- 2) Expand the Compile action.
- 3) Right mouse click on the Resource Compiler icon.
- and select the "File Options->Change" menu selection
- 5) In the Parameters field, change "%q" to ".\"
-
- Read READ.CTV and READ.CTW located on your CDROM for more information.

- 3. Installing the Visual Realty Application
- ===============================================================================
- To install the Visual Realty Application on your system, select the application
- from the main installation panel and push the Install push-button.
-
- A Visual Realty folder will be installled on your desktop. This folder contains:
- - the full application ready to run
- - the WorkFrame project of the sample application as described in the book
- - the WorkFrame project of the full application
- - the WorkFrame project of the sample application as described in the book
- - this READ.ME file.
-
- Only the source of the FULL application is provided and can be built. To build
- the BOOK project you must regenerate the source files using the Visual Builder.
-
- Ensure the database is installed before you attempt to build the project.
-
- WARNING: Because building the project involves binding to the database,
- the database MUST be started before you start the build process. Do so
- by typing: STARTDBM at the command prompt on any OS/2 window, use a userid
- and password with the ADMINISTRATION authority (usually userid USERID and
- and password PASSWORD are predefined) for the user id and password when prompted.
-
- You can rebuild the whole project by selecting Build -> Rebuild All from the
- Project menubar option of the Visual Realty Full project.
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- WARNING: When you rebuild your Visual Realty project, the compiler may insert
- a trailing message in you resource files (.RC?) indicating the number of
- remaining days to use the Trial version. To avoid errors when the
- resource compiler is invoked on such a file, you must remove the message
- with your favorite editor and select: Project ->Make from the
- Project menubar option of the Visual Realty Full project, to remake the project.
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- The Visual Realty Full project organization is described as follow:
-
- Visual Realty Full Project
- |
- |----Help Project
- |
- |----Property Project
- |
- |----Buyer Project
- |
- |----Sale Project
- |
- |----Service Project
- |
- |----Common Project
- |----Dacslib Project
-
- The directory structure is mapped to the following organization:
-
- Drive:\Directory of Visual Realty
- |
- |----HELP
- |----PROPERTY
- |----BUYER
- |----SALE
- |----SERVICE
- |----COMMON
- |----DACSLIB
-
- The installation of the Visual Realty prompts you for updating your CONFIG.SYS
- for the proper access to the DLL and HLP files.
-
- ===============================================================================
- 4. Installing the Visual Realty Database
- ===============================================================================
- To install the Visual Realty Database on your system, select the
- Visual Realty Application database sample from the main installation panel
- and push the Install push-button.
-
- On the next panel select the destination drive for the database and press
- the Install button.
-
- If Database Manager is not started, the programs starts it automatically and
- prompt you to enter a userid and password with the administration authority.
- You MUST be logged on with an ADMINISTRATION AUTHORITY password to create
- the database. Usually, userid USERID and password PASSWORD are already
- predefined with such an autorithy.
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- NOTE:
-
- 1. On the last step of the database installation, "Binding application
- to the database", you may experience blanking of the installation screen
- this only occurs on some video drivers and does not in any way interfere
- with the operation being performed. Sizing the window will force a repaint
- of the window. Wait until the completion message box appears before
- selecting "Exit". Depending on you machine's speed this could be a few minutes
- from the time "binding" starts.
-
- 2. For those who run DB2 1.2, you must rebuild the Visual Realty Project
- to regenerate the bind files since the bind files provided in the CDROM
- have been built with DB2 V2 and are not compatible with DB2 1.2.
- You rebuild the whole project by selecting Project->Rebuild All from the
- toolbar menu of the Visual Realty Full Project.
