- Download m-power.zip here.
- Install m-Power by unzipping the contents of m-power.zip to the server root directory. Windows, for example, is C:\\. A directory named m-power will be created for you.
- Install the Java 2 SDK. (Java is needed to run Tomcat Application Server and compile code generated with m-Power.) The Windows Java 2 SDK is included with m-Power. Execute C:\\m-power\jdk\j2sdk-1_4_2-windows-i586.exe and install to the default location.
For other OS, the Java 2 SDK can be downloaded from Sun here.
- Install the m-Power license. Upon completion of the m-Power Download Form, you should receive an e-mail with your m-Power license key attached. Copy that mrclicense.txt file into directory /m-power/proddata/conf from step 2.
- Start the Tomcat Web Server. For Windows, execute C:\\m-power\start_tomcat.bat. For other OS, execute your appropriate shell scripts in /m-power/tomcat/bin/.
N.B.You will have to edit the start and end scripts (start_tomcat.bat and end_tomcat.bat for Windows) and change the line 'set JAVA_HOME=C:/j2sdk1.4.2' to the actual location of your jdk, otherwise Tomcat will not start.
Alternatively, you can set the system-wide environment variable JAVA_HOME and comment out the script instruction.
- Point your browser to http://x.x.x.x:8011/webapp/mrc/ (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the server running m-Power and Tomcat.) You may substitute 'localhost' instead of the IP address if the server and client are the same hardware.
- Run the m-Power Test Servlet.
- Run the m-Power Configuration to install the internal m-Power DB and create the first Data Dictionary. (Select a database and enter your user/password for that database.)
Note: The user listed must have permission to create schemas and
tables in your licensed database.
- Run the m-Power Main Menu. Select the 'Data Dictionary' tab, select 'Manage Data Dictionary Files', and select 'Create' to add your own database tables to the m-Power data dictionary.
Then begin creating Inquiries, Graphs, Reports, Summaries, and Maintenance programs over your own tables with m-Power!
