Cubes Delegate README

  Installation Procedure We strongly suggest to connect and authenticate the cubes delegate to a webtop mediator instead of the Oracle mediator. The resulting VRML files can be quite large and performance will benefit from a shorter server-to-client distance.

  Step 1   The webtop application directory should contain the following files:
  BigCubeAgent.class Cubes delegate application class
  cubes.bat          application startup script (Windows)
  cubes.sh           application startup script (UNIX)
  projectname.key    public key of the database center
  public.key         registered public key The webtop application directory forms part of the webtop mediator installation. The public.key file results from the mediator's installation process, all other files should be part of the installation package. The cubes delegate can be installed separately from the webtop mediator. If necessary, follow step 4 in the installation procedure of the webtop mediator to create and register a new key set (and registration name).

  Step 2   The application startup script (cubes.sh or cubes.bat) must be modified to reflect your runtime environment. For UNIX, this would look like:
  javapath/bin/jre -Dproject=projectname
    -Dregister="registrationname" -Dbase=serverpath
    -Dhost=serverhost BigCubeAgent &
Windows specifies different path and directory separator characters:
  javapath\bin\jre -Dproject=projectname
    -Dregister="registrationname" -Dbase=serverpath
    -Dhost=serverhost BigCubeAgent
javapath should point to the JRE/JDK directory, e.g., F:\Progra~1\jdk116 (Windows) serverpath should specify the parent directory of the web interface directory, e.g., /home/tanger/oracle/Proxy/ if /home/tanger/oracle/Proxy/projectname is the web interface directory, corresponding the installation of the webtop mediator. serverhost should specify the hostname or host address of the webtop server.

  Step 3   Run the script (or batch file) in the directory it is installed:
  cubes.sh  (UNIX)
  cubes     (Windows) It is not necessary to run this application on the same machine as the mediator or web server.

  Access When the application is running, the cubes delegate will automatically pop up in the interface, even if this interface was already open.
