OSEE/Tutorial

This page is being adapted from this presentation.

Requirements

System Requirements

OSEE requires a system with at least 1GB of RAM running JRE 1.6 or higher. Microsoft Office is useful for the demo.

Eclipse Dependencies

The following Eclipse dependencies are required, although it is easiest to simply use the [Ganymede Eclipse install.

• Eclipse 3.4.2 SDK
• org.eclipse.gef
• org.eclipse.draw2d
• org.eclipse.birt
• org.eclipse.datatools

Installation

Database

Install PostgreSQL using the following settings:

• Default install path and data directory
• Password "Postgre1"
• Port 5432
• Default locale
• On the final screen, ensure that "Launch Stack Builder" is not selected

After saving the database password using pgadmin, run the osee_db_setup script, which is located under the "PostgreSql" folder.

More on PostgreSQL installation

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Ensure that the directory in which the JRE is installed is in the path by typing "java --version" at a command prompt.

OSEE Client

Extract and launch Eclipse. From the update manager, install the update sites located under "OseeClient":

• org.eclipse.osee_integration_build_incubation.zip
• osee.add.ons.updatesite.zip osee.add.ons.updatesite.zip

Initialization

Launch Application Server

Execute the osee_app_server script located under "OseeApplicationServer" and wait until the server finishes the start up procedure before closing the console.

Database Initialization

In a command prompt, change to the Eclipse install directory and execute the following command:

eclipsec -application org.eclipse.osee.framework.database.configClient -vmargs -Xmx512m
-Dosee.log.default=INFO -Dosee.application.server=http://localhost:8089
-Dosee.authentication.protocol=trustAll -Dosee.prompt.on.db.init=false
-Dosee.choice.on.db.init="OSEE Demo Database"

Once db init closes, type "exit" in the server console.

Populate Demo Data

Launch the Application Server and then the OSEE client with the following command:

eclipse -vmargs -Xmx512m
-Dosee.application.server=http://localhost:8089
-Dosee.authentication.protocol=demo

Switch to the ATS perspective (Window > Open Perspective > ATS); in the ATS Navigator window, enter "Populate" as the filter and press Enter, then double click on the "Populate Demo Actions" item.
