Platform requirements for Framework for Application Data and Sources

Operating system: Any system running Java 1.3 or above

Software:

• JAXP-compliant XML parser (IBM XML4J is included)
• If using JdbcDestination: JDBC implementation code (should be distributed by your database provider)
• If using JmsDestination: JMS/JNDI specification and implementation code (should be distributed by your messaging provider)

1. Ensure that the prerequisite software is installed.
2. Extract the contents of FADS.zip into a new directory.
3. If you will be testing the sample simulators: Some of them require a JDBC-compliant database. A sample SQL file (dbsetup.sql) has been included to help set up all database tables used by all sample simulators. The SQL script was written for DB2 and may require modification for use with another company's database. Create the database and tables as specified by the SQL script file (if necessary).
4. Ensure that your CLASSPATH is set up to use your Java installation's rt.jar file.
5. A sample Windows BAT file is provided that will set up your CLASSPATH (with the exception noted above). Edit this file to make sure the paths that are specified to the JARs are correct. You can create multiple copies of this BAT file for each simulator you'll use. Use this BAT file as a basis for a UNIX shell script if necessary.
6. After editing the BAT file, launch it in order to bring up the FADS window.
