Roundtable 8.1A Default Installation
INSTALLING RTB on LOCAL PC
How do I install Roundtable on a "standalone" directory?
("standalone" meaning "not in the Progress DLC directory")
1. Execute setup.exe on the Win RTB 8.1A install disk
2. Specify destination directory for RTB installation. Use browse
button and type in the name of a new directory. In this example, I
will use "c:\rtb81a". The RTB install process will respond by
by informing you that the directory does not exist and ask if it
should create it for you.
Answer "yes".
3. Fill in the location of the Progress installation that you want to
install Win RTB 8.1A against. In this example, I will use "c:\dlc81A"
4. Fill in the location of the RTB working directory. In this
example, I will use "c:\rtbwork". If it does not exist, the RTB
install process will ask if it should create it for you.
Answer "yes"
5. Fill in the name of the Win RTB program folder. In this example,
I will use "RTB 8.1A".
6. Review the current setting, correct if necessary, continue and
complete the Win RTB 8.1A installation.
To now setup that Win RTB 8.1A installation:
1. Execute the Win RTB 8.1A Setup shortcut.
2. Select "Create new local database".
3. Accept "rtb1.db" as the name of the RTB database. The Setup
process will respond with "Database rtb1.db was successfully created."
4. Accept "schema.pf" as the name of the .pf file for schema update.
The Setup process will prompt you that it does not exist.
Answer "yes" to prompt offering to create it.
5. At the "Edit the contents..." of the .pf file for schema update
prompt, hit the "pf entry" button to create a definition for database
rtb1.db in the schema.pf file. The Setup process will respond that
this is a new .pf entry and ask if this is a remote database.
Answer "no" to his prompt and then accept the values on the
on the following "Local Database Parameters" screen.
6. The next screen will begin the RTB schema update process. It will
take a few minutes and should encounter no errors.
7. At the "Specify location of database parameters file used for
compilation" screen, accept "compile.pf" as the name of the .pf file.
The Setup process will prompt you that it does not exist.
Answer "yes" to prompt offering to create it.
8. At the "Edit the contents..." of the .pf file for RTB compiles
prompt, hit the "pf entry" button to create a definition for database
rtb1.db in the compile.pf file. The Setup process will respond that
this is a new .pf entry and ask if this is a remote database.
Answer "no" to this prompt and then accept the values on the
following " Local Database Parameters" screen.
9. The next screen will prompt you for location to place the compiled
RTB code into. Because you are making a standalone installation,
blank out the fill in to tell the RTB setup process to put the
compiled code into the RTB installation directory.
10. At the "Select Type of Compile" screen, choose "Full". Compiling
the RTB installation will take a few minutes and should encounter no
errors.
NOTE:
_update.w might fail with "Roundtable installation file not found"
error if $DLC/startup.pf file exists with an entry for -T.
The solution is then to add a -T option with directory where RTB has
been installed.
example:
$DLC\bin\_prowin.exe -db rtb.db -1 -p _update.w -T c:\DLC\SRC\RTB
