I am planning my first attempt to install ArdGate on system i at v7r1m0
So far I have:
1) an MC Press article by Chris Smith
2) an RPGIV @ Work article by Chamara Withanachchi
3) other stuff gathered from web searches, etc
4) downloaded AppServer4RPG.jar from SourceForge.net
5) copied the .jar file to the IFS on system i
My current goal is to install ArdGate as a standalone Java application
and avoid the need to run WebSphere or Tomcat.
From a midrange.com post by Mihael Schmidt, Dieter Bender describes
three install steps:
- install ArdGate ....
- add the JDBC database to the remote database directory
- install the JDBC driver archive to ArdGate and provide url and driver
class
With my near total lack of Java experience, these three steps are pretty
mysterious, but here is what I think:
A) I need a copy of an RPG program named JDBCGATE.
B) I need to know more about the "configuration of ArdGate".
It seems there is a configuration file to be updated to:
B1) identify the database (MySql, Oracle, Sql Server)
B2) locate the JDBC driver for the db identified in B1
C) I need more detail about handling classpath settings.
I have learned a little about classpath from Scott Klement's RPG
examples.
