Frequently Asked Questions - UNIX

  1. Host Install. Where is it done from?
    The host install is done right from your own PC. The eFORMz Composer will be used to install the needed components on your Unix system.

    Note: The following instructions assumes you have already installed eFORMz on your PC.

    1. From your host machine login as Administrator (root) and create the following directory:

      mkdir minisoft
       
    2. Change the attributes of the directory:

      chmod 755 minisoft
       
    3. Next, open the eFORMz Composer on your PC and select the Host Tools menu. From the menu selection select UNIX > Install eFORMz.
    4. The UNIX logon screen will appear. Enter your Host IP Address, user name, and password and then select Connect.
    5. The Unix Install dialog box will display. By default, the eFORMz_6 folder is the directory eFORMz will be selecting the installation files from. The default directory the installation files will be installed in, is the minisoft directory under root.
    6. Select OK to start the installation process.
    7. The “Progress” dialog box will display, when the installation is complete you will return to the eFORMz Composer main window.
       
  1. I would like to change the location of the eFORMz configuration file from the default, can the license file be located in a different directory?
    Yes, the license file can be located in a different directory. Edit your eFORMz script file (.cmd) and fully qualify the default script file command option:

    Default:
    -Duser.dir=/minisoft

    Example:
    -Duser.dir=/users/license

    Example eFORMz script:
    java -Xmx512m -Xms128m -Duser.dir=/users/license -jar /minisoft/Run.jar /minisoft com.minisoft.HostTools.Local.eFORMz -v -d “/minisoft/input” -f “sampstm.dat:Rename” -p “/minisoft/statement.efz” -o “/minisoft/Output.xml”
