 Required Libraries

SORCER requires the following libraries which you will find under iGrid/sorcer/lib already prepackaged.    jini, jndi, ant, rio, tea, jdbc,  xml, jintegra, servlet . You may have your own installation of these packages and copy the appropriate jar files in the above directories. Pls note the following.

1. SORCER runs with jini1.2.
2. We use Oracle9i as our database and hence jdbc contains the jdbc thin driver for Oracle.

Configuring SORCER

1. Open the sorcer.prop file in iGrid\sorcer\conf\ using notepad or wordpad.

2. Edit the values for the variables specified in the file. The meaning of each variable is given in the file. This helps to set the required values in all configuration files.

3. Compile the SORCERConfig.java file in iGrid\sorcer\conf\ and run the program.        Usage: java SORCERConfig <masterDir> <customDir> <customPropFile>          masterDir à The directory containing the Master property files.                           customDir à The directory which will contain the configuration files( generally this is iGrid\sorcer\conf\).                                                                                                 customPropFIle à This is the Sorcer.prop file.

4. Run the .jconfigure.bat file.

5. Go to iGrid\jgapp\src\jgapp and run Ant by typing “ant” at the command prompt. This compiles the jgapp sources and installs them at the target directory.

6. Go to iGrid\sorcer\src\sorcer and run Ant by typing “ant” at the command prompt. This compiles the Sorcer sources and installs them at the target directory.

7. Run the setup.bat file. This copies the configuration files to the target directories.

Startup scripts

All startup scripts are located under $SORCER_HOME/bin. As this directory is included in path, the following scripts can be run to test the configurations.

1. runserv{start|stop|restart}
2. rmiregi {start|stop|restart}
3. cache {start|stop|restart}
4. catalog {start|stop|restart}
