6.7.1 GUI for environment setup

This subsection explains use of the GUI to set up an OpenTP1 environment. The GUI provides as templates the minimum system definitions required in order to use OpenTP1. The provided templates include multiple models in which appropriate values (parameters) are set for various system configurations. You can use the GUI to change the set parameter values. Parameter values specified by using the GUI are treated as operand values in the corresponding system definitions.

Note
OpenTP1 system definitions that are not included in the provided templates cannot be added to those templates.

To use the GUI to set up an OpenTP1 environment:

  1. From the Start menu, choose Programs, OpenTP1, and then OpenTP1 Environment.
    The OpenTP1 Environment window is displayed.
  2. In the OpenTP1 Environment window, select a desired definition type and model, and then click the Next button.
    The OpenTP1 Environment window (parameter information) is displayed.
  3. Enter values for parameters in the OpenTP1 Environment window (parameter information).
  4. To check the specified settings, click the Details button in the OpenTP1 Environment window (parameter information).
    The Detailed Information dialog box is displayed.
  5. In the OpenTP1 Environment window (parameter information), click the Next button.
    The OpenTP1 Environment Setup window (Output) is displayed.
  6. In the OpenTP1 Environment Setup window (Output), select the OpenTP1 service name whose environment you want to set up, and then select the Execute Batch file check box.
    Once you select the Execute Batch file check box, clicking the Execution button creates the definition files and OpenTP1 file system.
  7. In the OpenTP1 Environment Setup window (Output), click the Execution button.
    A template to which the definition type, model, and parameter values have been applied is stored. A batch file is executed and the definition files and OpenTP1 file system are created.
  8. To check the execution results of the batch file, in the OpenTP1 Environment Setup window (Output), click the View Log button.
    The Log File dialog box is displayed.
  9. In the OpenTP1 Environment Setup window (Output), click the Close button.
    The OpenTP1 Environment Setup window (Output) closes and setup of the OpenTP1 environment is completed.

The following subsections provide the details of the windows and dialog boxes used for environment setup.

    If you wish to specify a user service definition, select User Service Definition.
  • User Service Definition
    Select this definition type to start a user server. This definition type enables you to specify parameters required for starting a user server (some of the operands in the user service definition). Note that you must select TP1_Server Base System Definition to create definition files before you select User Service Definition.

Model drop-down list
You can select a model definition template. Available models depend on the definition type selected from the Definition drop-down list. The following table lists the available models.

Service drop-down list
Select the OpenTP1 service for which a template is to be stored. The drop-down list displays the following OpenTP1 services that have been set up in Windows:
  • OpenTP1
    This service is created automatically after OpenTP1 has been installed. When you select OpenTP1, the template is stored in %DCDIR%\conf.
  • OpenTP1_XXXX
    This is a multiOpenTP1 service, where XXXX indicates the multiOpenTP1 identifier. When you select OpenTP1_XXXX, the template is stored in the multiOpenTP1 folder.
  • Others
    Enables you to select a desired storage location for the template.

Execute Batch file check box
When you select this check box, the batch file is executed automatically when the template is stored in order to create the definition files and OpenTP1 file system.

Output Directory
Displays or enters the storage folder, as determined by the selection made in the Service drop-down list.
  • When OpenTP1 or OpenTP1_XXXX is selected
    The selected OpenTP1's %DCDIR%\conf is displayed.
  • When Others is selected
    The user enters the path of the folder in which the template is to be stored.
Notes about specifying the storage folder
Not only the parameters listed in Parameter List but also the DCDIR environment variable's value are defined in the template provided by OpenTP1. @DCDCDIR@ is set temporarily for the value of the DCDIR environment variable, because the user can enter a desired storage destination by selecting Others from the Service drop-down list. However, environment setup cannot be performed while this environment variable is set to @DCDCDIR@, so you must change this value to the correct %DCDIR% value for the actual environment being used.

View Log button
Displays the Log File dialog box. For details about the Log File dialog box, see (5) Log File dialog box.

Back button
Returns to the OpenTP1 Environment window (parameter information).

Execution button
Stores the template at the folder path displayed in Output Directory. If the Execute Batch file check box is selected, the batch file is executed.
Once the batch file executes, a dialog box is displayed when the processing is completed. If the processing fails, an error message is displayed in the dialog box. For details about the error messages, see the manuals OpenTP1 Version 7 Messages.

Close button
Terminates GUI environment setup.

(5) Log File dialog box

You use the Log File dialog box to check the batch file execution results.
