Installation

  • The Proline Web Extension is based on the use of MongoDB database engine. You need to download it and install it either on the computer which will host the Proline Web Extension server, or any other network-accessible computer. You will find the installation files on this page : http://www.mongodb.org/downloads
  • Download and run the Proline Web Extension Installer

Configure the Server

If you installed your MongoDB database on a different computer than the Proline Web Extension server, you'll need to edit the Proline Web Extension configuration file :

  • Go to the installation directory of your Proline Web Extension server
  • Go to the “conifg” folder and open the “pwx.conf” file with any text editor (like Window default Notepad)
  • Setup the “mongo_db_config” “host” parameter with the right URL to your MongoDB server (ex: 'mongodb:185.532.02.33:27017' or 'mongodb:distant_computer_name:27017')
  • If you defined a specific user and password on your MongoDB server, you should add them as “user:“user_name” and “password:“your_password” parameters

If MongoDB is installed on the same computer as the Proline Web Extension server, you don't need to configure anything at this time.

Launch The Server

  • First, please make sure that MongoDB is running. If it's not, please start it manually.
  • In order to start the Proline Web Extension server components, go to its installation folder, and launch the “start.bat” script. This script will start the following programs :
    • The Gearman service : this is a program used to supervise and manage heavy tasks requests that will be executed by the PWX Daemon program.
    • The PWX Daemon, that handles :
      • the heavy works that need to be ran in a separated Perl process
      • the events listenning and dispatching.
    • The PWX “Mojolicious” Program that is the actual web server. It runs the Web Desktop and the Applications.

Setup the Proline Service

  • The connection between the desktop and the proline core server is provided by the “proline” service, automatically started at server's launch
  • To set it up, go to “Start”>“Administration”>“Services Manager”>“Registered Services”
  • Click on “proline” in the Services Grid Table to select it, and then click on “Configure”
  • o
  • You must set up the right connexion informations and data directories in order to access the Proline Core Web services properly
  • You must set up two path to the mascot data root folder : one for the desktop (pwd_mascot_data_root) and one for jetty (pwc_mascot_data_root). These to paths must point to the same folder. There are two of them because you need to mount a shared folder between the VM and its host to access its files list, but Jetty won't know anything about it (/media/sf_mascot_data_root).
  • Once it's done, simply click “Save Configuration”
  • To make sure that the “admin” user is registered in the UDS DB, you need to logout and login, in order to make the Proline Service to check your status in the UDS DB, and create your account if you're not registered yet

The Dataset Explorer

FIXME : CBy : cette partie devrait aller dans le how to “create a project” et “create an aggregate”

  • Click on “Start”>“Dataset Explorer” to run the Dataset Explorer app
  • To create a new Project, click on “New Project”. After its creation, it should appear in the left part of the window
  • Right-Click on your project to access its Menu : click on “Import Result File” to import .dat files in your project
  • You can follow the import task satuts by clicking on the little piece of cake in the bottom-right of the desktop screen.
  • When it's done, you can create an identification in your project by right-clicking on its “Identifications Trees” node, and picking the “New Identification” item
  • Drag and drop the ResultSets from the left table to the selection table of your identification. Make sure to enter a name and a description before clicking Ok
  • Once it's created, you'll want to validate it by right clicking its node (below the Identifications Trees node) and picking “Launch Validation” on the list.
  • Set you settings up and run it !
  • I bet it doesn't work yet ..
