Install QAD UI Code

Complete this section to install QAD UI-specific code for QAD Standard Edition (the MFG/PRO - Progress QAD UI Files) and updates to MFG/UTIL.

1 From the main menu, choose option 1 to access the MFG/PRO – Progress QAD UI files menu.

2 You may be prompted to enter or confirm the JAVA_HOME directory. For more information, see Set JAVA_HOME.

3 The MFG/PRO — Progress QAD UI Files Menu displays. Choose 1 to begin installing the QAD UI Progress files.

4 Enter the character client installation directory. In a typical system, the character client files are located in the QADInstallDir directory.

5 Enter the user group that will be given UI administration privileges. By default this is qadadmin.

Please enter the existing MFG/PRO security group that will have the admin privileges in QAD UI.

6 Enter and confirm the QAD UI code directory. The default is the QAD UI configuration name being installed. For consistency when installing multiple QAD UI configurations, accept the default value.

The QAD UI Progress code files will be extracted here.

If the directory does not exist, you are asked to confirm the creation. If the directory exists, you are asked to confirm the overwrite.

The file copy process is logged to the screen. Files are copied, permissions are set correctly, and MFG/UTIL is updated with QAD UI workflows. You are prompted to press Enter as each step completes. When the process completes, review the log for errors.

7 You are prompted to enter a directory location for staging files that need to be configured by MFG/UTIL. By default, this is located in a /staging directory beneath the /log directory specified earlier.

Since this installation is a MULTI_TIER installation, this installation program will need to copy files off the CD to a temporary staging area so that MFG/UTIL can modify the files.

Please enter a temporary directory with adequate free space.

Default is '/dr02/mfgpro/eb2.1sp3/dt02/log/staging'

Files are copied to the staging directory.

8 When the process completes, you are returned to the Progress QAD UI Files menu. The next step depends on your operating system.

• In UNIX environments, exit from the install menus, then continue with Configure QAD UI Components.

• For Windows, choose option 3 to generate the telnet scripts as detailed in the next section.

Important: Do not update or create additional UI configurations without restarting the script. Performing activities on more than one configuration during a single script execution can cause problems in MFG/UTIL.
