Progress
Installation and Configuration Guide
Version 9
for Windows
Java
Many Version 9 products require one or more installed Java components for subsequent use by Progress. Specifically, the components are the Java Run-time Environment (JRE) and the Java Development Kit (JDK).
The JDK contains the software and tools that developers need to compile, debug, and run applets and applications written using the Java programming language. The JDK software and documentation, typically included with each new release of an operating system, are available for download at the vendor’s Web site. You will require a JDK if you intend to develop Java stored procedures and triggers with the database, or to create Java proxies with the Open Client Toolkit.
The JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine, the Java Core Classes, and supporting files. The JRE is the runtime part of the JDK and does not include a compiler, a debugger, or development tools. You will need the JRE if you intend to use one of the following:
You will also need the JRE to execute Java stored procedures and triggers from the Progress database.
Depending on which products you choose to install, the installation process automatically updates your system with the JRE and the JDK, with the following exceptions:
NOTE: Before you run Progress, make sure the PATH environment variable contains- Open Client Toolkit — If you want to install the Open Client Toolkit to develop ActiveX proxies, download and preinstall the non-self-extracting Microsoft Software Development Kit (SDK) for Java Version 3.2 or later from the Microsoft Web site at
www.microsoft.com/java
. Be sure to include all the prerequisites for the SDK as specified on the Microsoft Web site.SDK-Java.32\bin
.For information on open client proxy generation and system requirements, see the Progress Open Client Developer’s Guide .
- SQL-92 — The installation program does not automatically install the JDK component when you install the Enterprise Database, the Personal Database, or the Workgroup Database with SQL Client Access. If you intend to develop Java stored procedures and Java triggers for your database, you must install a Progress development product such as ProVision. For information on writing Java stored procedures and triggers, see the Progress SQL-92 Guide and Reference .
Table 1–1 lists operating systems and specifies the versions of JDK and JRE each supports. In the case of the Open Client toolkit, other versions, including versions from other vendors, can be used as well. When Javasoft provides a JDK and JRE for a certain platform, Progress Software includes the JDK and JRE in its distribution. For other systems, you must obtain the JDK from the system’s operating system vendor. Please contact your operating system vendor for assistance in obtaining the JDK.
