Set your client environment

This is an advanced topic.

The following files are created by the installation program for setting your environment variables on the client side:
    setEnvironment.bat   (for Windows)
    setEnvironment.sh     (for Unix)

Those files are on Acelet-Log Home (the installed directory).

Install, run and uninstall demo database

This is an advanced topic.

The Simple install option of the installer installs a local database as part of the installation on sub-directory database of Acelet-Log Home (default is acelet-log), as the demo database. The demo database is  open source Java database Hypersonic SQL.

The demo database is for many components, such as, SuperEnvironment, SuperScheduler and SuperWatchdog. It is for evaluation and demo only. 

For production use, you can replace it with your favorite database in your network.

Run the demo database

When Acelet-Log starts, it starts the local database (the demo one, if it exists). When Acelet-Log is terminated, the local database will not be shutdown by Acelet-Log automatically.

Stop the demo database

Run stopDatabase.bat (for Windows) or stopDatabase.sh (for Unix) under database directory.

Uninstall the demo database

Run uninstall program either:

• Run uninstall from installed shortcut.
• Run uninstall.bat (for Windows) or uninstall.sh (Unix) under installed Acelet-Log Home.

Use other database as default database

This is an advanced topic.

You can use any SQL database as your database. You need database schema for creating tables for that database. Please contact us.

Install License

This is an advanced topic.

Your license file is an XML text file. It should be installed at the same location as the program files in question.

The license file contains installation instructions. Please read the instructions as well.

You need to install Acelet-Log first. Then, go to the main menu > System >  Install License. A JFileChooser will pop up. Choose your license file to install. Acelet-Log will install all applicable licenses. If the new license file contains a server side license, Acelet-Log will prompt you before installing.

Do not modify your license file. If you accidentally modified it and corrupted it, you need delete it and re-install it.
