Running the Individual Rich Client Variants

Rich Client for Admin

Start the Valuemation client by running the 'admin.bat' batch from the Valuemation installation directory.

Rich Client for User

Start the Valuemation client by running the 'run.bat' batch from the Valuemation installation directory.

Configuration:

  1. A database driver needs to be added into the 'lib' folder: %VM_installation_directory%/war/WEB-INF/lib
  2. Make the appropriate settings in the 'dbconfig.properties' file.

Start the Valuemation client by running the 'admin.bat' batch from the Valuemation installation directory.

Rich Client for Customizer (with Jetty)

Basically it is the same installation as the 'Rich Client for Customizer (with Jetty)' version, only with additional libraries for VMA printing.

Configuration:

  1. A database driver needs to be added into the 'lib' folder: %VM_installation_directory%/war/WEB-INF/lib
  2. Make the appropriate settings in the 'dbconfig.properties' file.
  3. Modify the 'web.xml' file in the %VM_installation_directory%/war/WEB-INF according to your file system.

Start the Valuemation client by running the 'admin.bat' batch from the Valuemation installation directory.

Note: If you face the problem that it is not possible to launch the 'Print Report' action or you are not even able to log into Web Client, then you have to modify the 'setenv.bat' file in the following way:

rem SET PENTAHOLIB=%PENTAHOLIB%;%S3LIB%\js-1.7R3.jar

Escalation Server

The 'EscServer.bat' file starts the Escalation Server. No additional setting is needed here.

For more technical details, please see the 'Valuemation Escalation' section.
