McKoi SQL database is included in STEP FORWARD
Server distribution. If you never used McKoi before, and
don't have McKoi server running already, you will have to
create an empty database by running the following command/script
that is located in STEP FORWARD Server installation directory:
CreateMcKoiDatabase.cmd (Windows command)
CreateMcKoiDatabase.bin
(Linux script)
Before executing this file, however, you may
want to edit its contents, which is initially set as (Windows
version):
jre\bin\java.exe
-jar mckoidb.jar -create "SYSADM" "hello"
This command, in its default form, will create
McKoi SQL database in STEP FORWARD Server installation
directory with the database administrator login SYSADM and
password hello.
If this is not what you want, change the login and/or
password. Also, the jre\bin\java.exe
part in the command will work only if you installed
STEP FORWARD Server bundled with Java. Otherwise, this part
will have to be modified to point to the location of your
Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Once the empty database has been created, you
can start McKoi server running the following command:
ServerStarter.cmd (Windows command)
ServerStarter.bin (Linux script)
Here is the contents of the file (Windows
version):
jre\bin\java.exe -jar mckoidb.jar
Again,
you may have to edit the jre\bin\java.exe part
similar to CreateMcKoiDatabase file.
Once McKoi server is up and running, you should
see the following window:

This window should not be closed. In Linux,
ServerStarter.bin script can be run with & flag so that the
terminal window can be closed. |
