m-Power Installation Instructions

  1. Download m-power.zip here.
  2. 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.
  3. 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\jdk16.exe and install to the default location. For other OS, the Java 2 SDK can be downloaded from Sun here.
  4. 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.
  5. 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/. Note: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:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_07' 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Run the m-Power Test Servlet.
  8. Run the m-Power Configuration to install the internal m-Power DB and create the first Data Dictionary. (Select a database and enter a DB user/password for that database.)
    Note: The DB user listed must have permission to create schemas and tables in your licensed database.
  9. Click the Admin tab, then click "Version and Software Update." This will finalize the installation procedure.
  10. Run the m-Power Main Menu. Select the 'Admin' tab, select 'Registered Tables', and select 'Register' to add your own database tables to the m-Power data dictionary. Then begin creating Retrievals, Graphs, Reports, Summaries, and Maintenance programs over your own tables with m-Power!
