RTID Deployment
Hewlett-Packard Company 5 529618 - 002
1. Use the IPSetup utility to install the NonStop and Workstation components of
RTID. The Workstation components are packaged as a zip file “rtidws.zip”.
2. Unzip rtidws.zip and specify “c:\” as the target folder. This step will create the
c:\rtid folder and install the required files there.
The J2EE components required for a deployment of a solution using the Director are
released in an ear file called Dispatch.ear, which you’ll find in the folder c:\rtid\lib. An
ear file is a type of zip file; you can open it by using a zip tool, such asWinZip. The
contents of the Dispatch.ear file are as follows:
• DispatchEJB.jar. Contains the DispatchEJB component
• DispatchServlet.war. Contains the DispatchServlet component
• LoaderMDB.jar. Contains the LoaderMDB component
• META-INF folder. Contains application deployment descriptors:
application.xml, which lists the components used by the application, and
manifest.mf, which lists build information about ear file
Set Up the Database
This document assumes that the database tables have been created on NonStop Server.
The following readme files contain instructions for creating the databases for the three
RTID sample applications:
• Supply chain example: /usr/tandem/rtid/examples/rtsc/Readme.txt
• Electronic health record example: /usr/tandem/rtid/examples/chin/Readme.txt
• Branch library example: /usr/tandem/rtid/examples/lab/Readme.txt
Specify Properties
A properties file, called zli.properties by default, defines important characteristics of the
configuration. For example, properties specify the JDBC driver and connection string,
and the SQL catalogue and schema. For descriptions of the properties, see “RTID
Properties File,” near the end of this document.
Edit the properties file to reflect the requirements of your configuration:
• For running on the workstation, set the following database-related properties:
JdbcDriver
JdbcConnectionString
User
Password
catalog
schema
