Overview

Simias stores its data in a database, commonly referred to by the development team (and in code) as the "Store". This document describes a utility that was written to be able to view the data in the store. A Windows-based store browser exists, but this didn't really help much in Linux and Mac, so this Java-based store browser was whipped up.

[edit]

Building

The SwingStoreBrowser is located in SVN (https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/simias/trunk) inside the simias/tools/SwingStoreBrowser/ directory.

A Java compiler (javac) must be in your path for you to build.

Run the following commands: 

  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure
  make

If everything goes as planned, you'll end up with SwingStoreBrowser.jar (among other things).

[edit]

Installing

This tool has not been configured to "install" anywhere. The one thing you must do is copy the SimiasBrowser.asmx file into your ${simias install prefix}/web/ directory. The entire thing will not work if you don't do this. If you've installed to the standard prefix: 

  cp simias/src/Simias.Web/SimiasBrowser.asmx /opt/novell/ifolder3/web
[edit]

Running

Note: Simias (iFolder) must be running before you launch SwingStoreBrowser.

From the simias/tools/SwingStoreBrowser directory, run the following script: 

  ./storebrowser

As long as you've followed all the previous steps and Java (java) is in your path, SwingStoreBrowser will launch and connect to your local Simias Store.
