Install esup-print-channel

Installing esup-print-channel for the first time is done in 4 steps. If you want to upgrade a previous installation, please refer to this page.

1. Install the sources

• a. unzip esup-print-channel-x.y.z-t.zip wherever you like
• b. move to esup-print-channel-x.y.z/esup-print-channel/ folder

2. Configure your database

• a. if you use a dedicated database (recommended), create it
• b. add a privileged user with full access to your database

3. Configure the application

To do this, use the example files provided within the distribution.

• a. write properties/build.properties (see build-example.properties)
• b. write properties/CHelpdeskConfig.xml (see CPrintConfig-example.xml)
• c. write ../esup-hibernate-channel/properties/CEsupConfig.xml (see CEsupConfig-example.xml)
• d. write properties/printChannelHibernate.cfg.xml according to steps 2a. and 2b (see printChannelHibernate-example.cfg.xml).

4. Deploy the channel into uPortal

• a. run 'ant deploy' from the main folder
• b. run 'ant deploy-libs' or manually copy the jars located in folders esup-hibernate-channel/lib and esup-print-channel/lib to uPortal deployment hierarchy (a folder like .../webapps/uPortal/WEB-INF/lib). You can also run 'ant deploy-log' to put the logs of the channel into a separate file.
• c. run 'ant initdb' from the main folder (this will create tables in the database)
• d. restart uPortal
• e. test

Each time a configuration file is changed, the target 'deploy' should be fired and the portal should be restarted for the changes to be taken into account.
