Installation and Configuration Reference
The install program (eSuiteDPP.exe) is a self-extracting zip file that creates all the subdirectories and files needed to use the snapshot of eSuite for the DevPack Preview. It can be used to install the eSuite class files on either a Win32 client or server machine. An eSuiteDPP.zip will be available for UNIX systems.
The self-extracting zip file creates a subdirectory (eSuiteDPP) in the directory where it is run which contains all the content for the Design Partner Program. This includes the eSuite applet archive files (CABs and JARs), documentation, sample programs, and the template builder.
Server Installation
The only server platform supported for the Design Partner Program is Notes/Domino 4.6 running on a Windows NT 4.0 Server installation. eSuite and its supporting software must be installed on the same server setup to run Notes/Domino 4.6. To install eSuite for the Design Partner Program:
- Close all other programs running on the Windows NT 4.0 Server.
- Execute the self-extracting zip file eSuiteDPP.exe (double-click on the file's icon from Windows NT Explorer), or extract the eSuiteDPP.zip file.
- When prompted for install location (default is set to "c:\") enter the path of your server's HTML directory. Notes/Domino uses \notes\data\domino\html. However, the eSuiteDPP folder can be installed into any directory from which you are able to serve HTML. (Note: If you are using eSuiteDPP.zip. Unzip the eSuiteDPP directory and manually copy it to the server's HTML directory)
Using the JdbcSource applet
Lotus recommends that to take full advantage of the JdbcSource applet, you use Symantec's middleware product, dbANYWHERE. To get the free trial download version of Symantec's dbANYWHERE, see the Symantec Website.
Client Installation
