Dynamic Data Display and Update Of Rochade Repositories
System Requirements
  • Operating Systems: Runs under virtually any WEB server under Windows NT Server, 2000 Server, 2000 Professional,  Server 2003, XP Pro, AIX, HP/UX, Solaris Sparc Unix.
  • A WEB server.  Examples of WEB servers are: iPlanet, Netscape Enterprise, IIS 4.x and IIS 5.0, etc., Apache, Lotus.  You do not need to load any special modules, like java, JSP engines, server includes, etc.  RoAccess will run on the basic WEB server as the WEB server is delivered to you.
  • Your Rochade Repository is meant to be an Enterprise Wide server, and you will start adding more and more functionality (like document management and dissemination) and more users over time.   Also, some reports, like impact and involved path reports plus general queries, return a great deal of Rochade data, and the processing can be time consuming.  The WEB server machine should be as fast as possible and the more CPUs the better.  CPU speed is far more important than disk I/O, since WEB applications primarily are CPU intensive.  Unix machines seem to run much faster than a Windows machine at the same CPU speed.  We recommend Unix machines of at least  dual 400 MHz, but quad 1 GHz is recommend.  For Windows servers, we recommend a minimum of one 1 GHz CPU, but suggest 2 GHz and 2 to 4 CPUs. 
  • Requires PERL 5.006 or later (free) on you WEB server machine
  • If your WEB server is to run on a Windows platform , you already have everything you need from an Autopilot installation. RoAccess uses the standard Autopilot client you use. If your WEB server is to run under Unix, you will need the Rochade "batch client", which comes with Unix versions of the Rochade database.
  • A Rochade Repository server that is accessible over the network or on the same machine
  • Rochade user IDs must be a maximum of 8 characters.  The "Member" and the Rochade User ID must be the same.  This is because there are two ways to log into Rochade, and you would need to use two different user ID's if they are different.  Also, some parts of Rochade do not work with IDs greater than 8 characters.
  • L-type links are partially supported because the many problems the have caused in the past.  They will be fully supported in release 6.0
  • Any questions, please give us a call.
Assumptions
    You are using a Rochade 7.x or 6.x Repository server.  You can be running a mixture of both.
