Install - Data Access API

Software Requirements

To install and use the Data Access API, you need the following software:

• SuperSTAR
• Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or above
• Apache Ant 1.7.0 or above

Make sure you have set up your PATH system environment variable so that it includes the locations of Ant and the JDK on your system. You can edit your environment variables by opening the System Properties dialog from the Windows Control Panel. 

Install the Data Access API

To install the Data Access API, simply extract the files from the dataaccessapi.zip file.

When you have extracted the files, check and configure the connection to SuperSTAR:

1. Go to the extracted files and open config\administrationServerCatalog.xml in a text editor.

2. Locate the following section:

   XML

       <sa:administrationServer id="defaultprofile">
           <sa:host corbaport="9230" registryport="9234" rmiport="9231">localhost</sa:host>
       </sa:administrationServer>

3. Change localhost to the hostname or IP address of the machine running SuperADMIN.
4. If your installation does not use the default ports, you will also need to change the port details.
