To Make an I-X Process Panel for a New Country HQ Austin Tate, AIAI, University of Edinburgh 8-Jun-2002 ------------------------------------------------------ [P: note time at which you start] 1. The I-X Process Panels for the CoAX Demonstration and for country HQs are in ix_base\apps\coax - you need to copy and modify a small number of files to get a basic new country National HQ panel up and running. It can then be further tailored if required. The following assumes a country called "New". Replace this with the name for your country. 2. copy apps\coax\scripts\win\grid-National-HQ.bat apps\coax\scripts\win\grid-New-HQ.bat and edit it's contents to alter "National-HQ" to be "New-HQ" 5. copy apps\coax\config\coax-National-HQ.props apps\coax\config\coax-New-HQ.props and edit it's contents to give a symbol name (used as the agent ID) as "New-HQ" and to give the desired display name for the process panels (e.g. "New HQ"). 6. Assuming that you have the CoABS Grid version of the CFC panel running for tests (this would normally be available in the environment you run in) please startup the Arabello HQ panel using the new script apps\coax\scripts\win\grid-New-HQ.bat [Q: note time here please] 7. Repeat the test between the CFC panel and the new Arabello panel given in the initial setup document test example section. [R: note time here please] OPTIONAL FURTHER ITEMS ---------------------- a. Optionally you can amend the domain model used for the New-HQ by copying apps\coax\domain-library\coax.xml (the default domain library of Standard Operating Procedures for a new country panel) to a new file called, say, coax-New-HQ.xml. You can refer to such a new domain library entry by altering the "domain" line in the file apps\coax\config\coax-New-HQ.props b. Optionally you can amend the test menu used for the New-HQ by copying apps\coax\config\coax-test.xml (the default domain library of Standard Operating Procedures for a new country panel) to a new file say coax-New-HQ-test.xml. You can refer to such a new test file entry by altering the "test-menu" line in the file apps\coax\config\coax-New-HQ.props c. Other tailoring of the process panel is possible. Details are provided in the I-X Quick Start Guide in ix_base\docs NOT NEEDED FOR CoABS GRID RUNS ONLY - BUT DO THESE ITEMS FOR SIMPLE AND/OR KAoS COMMUNICATIONS USAGE. ------------------------------------------------------------------- A. copy apps\coax\scripts\win\simple-National-HQ.bat apps\coax\scripts\win\simple-New-HQ.bat and edit it's contents to alter "National-HQ" to be "New-HQ" B. copy apps\coax\scripts\win\kaos-National-HQ.bat apps\coax\scripts\win\kaos-New-HQ.bat and edit it's contents to alter "National-HQ" to be "New-HQ"
