QAD .NET UI clients communicate with the Progress servers using network protocols and do not require that the machines on which these servers run use a specific operating system.

The minimum Java version is J2SE 5.0.

If Progress installed its own Java version and your Progress server is on the same machine as Tomcat, do not remove the Progress-installed JDK. If you need to install a later JDK version for Tomcat, do so without uninstalling the Progress version.

If you must install Java before installing Progress, install the version required by the QAD .NET UI.

The Progress servers execute the QAD Standard Edition code for the QAD .NET UI clients. The machine on which these servers run should be sized similar to a server running QAD Standard Edition for an equivalent number of character clients.

Perform a complete installation of the Progress components by choosing the complete installation option.

If you are using a local host connection, WebSpeed must be installed on the QAD Standard Edition database server. For client/server connections, install the WebSpeed software on either the database or Web server.

Depending on your operating system, validation steps and commands will vary. The first step should be to validate that you have the needed components using the showcfg command.

Use the following sequence of command-line entries to validate Progress components. The database servers must be running before starting the WebSpeed brokers. Run these from ProgressInstallDir/bin:
