1.0 Getting Started 1.2 Installation 1.2.1 Roles & Responsibility The SGI SPWRMS application is distributed to SEa machines via FTP, FTP is a UNIX file transfer utility which allows the application to be moved from the CADSWES development environment to the SEa Unix workstations. The installation procedure will be managed by CADSWES throughout the contract maintenance agreement. Once SEa takes over support for the SPWRMS application, installa- tion will be managed by SEa using technical documentation pro- vided by CADSWES ill the form of a Programmers Manual. 1.2.2 Software Requirements The SGI SPWRMS application relies on access to the South Platte Informix database, This access may be direct to the dalJlbase engine Informix Online or may be client access via Informix INET, SGI-SPWRMS has been developed using the MOTif graphical inter- face library. This development path does not restrict the SGI user to running the Motif Window Manager, however, since MOTifis based on the X-graphics protocol, the window manager used for running the SGI SPWRMS application must be X-Windows comp'iant. Although SGI-SPWRMS displays maps which are in binary Arc/Info format, the Arc/Info GIS product is not required for running the SPWRMS application. The display and management of spatial data is handled entirely by the SPWRMS application. 1.2.3 User Setup The only requirement for setting up a UNIX user to run the SPWRMS application is to add the location of the SPWRMS execut- able to the user's path. The best way to set the path is to modify the user's,cshrc file to include: set path = ($path /usr/projectls_platte/bin) In this example /usr/projectls_platte is the installation location for the SPWRMS application, Of course, the path should reflect the actual installation location. This example assumes that the user is running the c-shell, If another UNIX shell is used, the syntax for setting the path may vary, 7/'J"l/OA ~
