Installing the UserInterface (Windows)

This document describes the hotfix installation procedure for the UserInterface (Windows).

The Automation Engine's UserInterface is programmed completely in Java. This means that Java 2 JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required on the computers on which the UserInterface must be installed.

Always install the UserInterface on your local hard disk in order to ensure optimal performance. AE does not recommend installing UserInterfaces on a network, because if the network fails, the UserInterface can crash.

Supplied Files

The UserInterface files are found in the IMAGE:USERINTERFACE\WINDOWS directory.

Procedure

	1.	Installing the current Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version

If the required version of JRE is already installed, this installation step can be omitted.

• Admin computer and/or user computer
• Use the following command to check which version of the Java Virtual Machine (VM) is installed.

java -version

If several JRE or Java SDK Versions are installed on the computer, make sure that the order of the directories in the settings of %PATH% or $PATH is correct. The Java Runtime Environment that is found first in the list of directories is used.

• Download the required Java Runtime Environment from http://java.sun.com and install it. The installation process includes the automatic installation of the Java Plug-in for Web browsers. You can disable it in the system control; AE does not need it.

	2.	Installing the UserInterface

• Admin computer and/or user computer
• Start the program SETUP.EXE in the IMAGE:DIALOG\WINDOWS directory.
  All files required for UserInterface operation are copied to the specified directory. The default directory is C:\AUTOMIC\DIALOG\BIN.

	3.	Adapting the configurationA set of constituent components that make up a system. This includes information on how the components are connected including the settings applied. files

• Admin computer and/or user computer
• The existing configuration files are not overwritten. The files that are provided are stored in UC4CONFIG.ORI.XML or LOGIN_DAT.ORI.XML. Adjust the configuration file UC4CONFIG.XML if recommended in the current Release Notes.

	4..	Starting the UserInterface

• Admin computer and/or user computer
• To execute the UserInterface, you can either use the file UCDJ.EXE or UCDJ.BAT.

Ensure that there is sufficient memory for the Java application UCDJ.JAR . Otherwise, the UserInterface might come to a standstill of the UserInterface. Automic recommends increasing the value of the Java start parameter -Xmx in the file UCDJ.INI (for calls via UCDJ.EXE) or UCDJ.BAT to 1024MB.

To run the UserInterface by using an *.EXE file, you must have installed a 32-bit Microsoft Visual C-Runtime Library.
