Graphical Installation
Note: The installation must be run as root.
- Download the distribution file into a temporary directory
- Check that the distribution file has the execute permission set
- Run the distribution file
- Follow the on screen instructions:
- License agreement
- Select components
- Installation directory and shortcuts
- Linking to /usr/bin
- ODBC Installation type (Recital Server / Recital Client Drivers)
- Java Virtual Machine selection (Recital Server / Recital Client Drivers)
- TomCat Installation type (Recital Server / Recital Client Drivers)
- Apache Firecat Plugin Installation (Recital Web)
- Install license file
Text Installation
Note: The installation must be run as root.
- Download the distribution file into a temporary directory
- Check that the distribution file has the execute permission set
- Run the distribution file
- Follow the on screen instructions:
- License agreement
- Select components
- Installation directory and shortcuts
- Linking to /usr/bin
- ODBC Installation type (Recital Server / Recital Client Drivers)
- Java Virtual Machine selection (Recital Server / Recital Client Drivers)
- TomCat Installation type (Recital Server / Recital Client Drivers)
- Apache Firecat Plugin Installation (Recital Web)
- Install license file
Tar Installation
Note: The installation must be run as root.
- Create a directory on your system called recital-x.x where x.x is the Recital version number, by convention this is created in /usr.
# cd /usr
# mkdir recital-x.x
- Download the tar file into this directory
- Change to the directory
# cd /usr/recital-x.x - Extract the files from the downloaded tar archive
# tar xf tarfile - Run the extracted setup script for the product
Recital:
# ./setup/setupRTD.sh /usr/recital-x.x
Recital Server:
# ./setup/setupRDS.sh /usr/recital-x.x
Recital Web:
# ./setup/setupRWD.sh /usr/recital-x.x
Recital Client Drivers:
# ./setup/setupRCD.sh /usr/recital-x.x
Uninstall
Note: The uninstaller must be run as root.
To uninstall Recital products for UNIX, run the uninstall script in your chosen installation directory.
Running Recital
Recital can be accessed from the graphical environment using its desktop shortcut, or from a terminal or console using the following commands from the Operating System command prompt.
db [-p <license text file>] | [-r] | [-w] [-f]
Starts Recital in development mode. In development mode, the command window or prompt and the development tools are accessible. Development mode access requires a valid development license.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| –p | Loads the information from a license text file into the Product Registration Screen, and then allows the license to be saved before starting. |
| –r | Displays the Product Registration Screen, allowing license details to be added or amended before starting. |
| –w | Start without the default windows active. The default windows are defined in the main config.db. The windows can also be disabled using the CLEAR WINDOWS command. |
| –f | Start in Fox compatibility mode. The following are active: SET COMPATIBLE TO FOXPRO and SET FILETYPE TO FOXPRO. This can also be achieved using the fox script instead of the db script. |
dbdemo
Starts Recital in Assistant mode in the demo directory.
dbl -i <input file> -o <output file> -x <first procedure> -m <message file>
Calls the Recital/Linker to link program source. Please see the Recital/Linker documentation for full details.
dbrt <compiled program>
or
db -x <compiled program>
Runs the specified <compiled program> in runtime mode. In runtime mode the development tools are not accessible and all source must be compiled. For more information on compiling, please see the COMPILE command. Runtime mode access requires a valid runtime license. The following alternative syntax can also be used:
dbstop <pid>
Cleanly stops the Recital process identified by the process identification number in <pid>.
dbusers –c | -l | -r
Creates, resets or lists the users file or files. Please see the Users Files documentation for full details.
Exiting Recital
Type QUIT at the command prompt to exit Recital.
Managing the Recital Server
The Recital Server can be managed using the uas script.
Note: uas must be run as root.
Starting the Recital Server:
# uas start
Restarting the Recital Server:
# uas restart
Stopping the Recital Server:
# uas stop
Is the Recital Server Running?:
# uas status
