5. To create and configure a preferences file for each JMC_Online_XX-YY
application:
a. Temporarily install a copy of your JMC XX-YY Office Application (not the
CGI or Online software) onto the JMC Online server.
b. Run the JMC Office Application and locate the data and transcripts folders
when prompted. These paths will be stored so the JMC Online software can
access your JMC student data.
Note: For more information about connecting and switching databases, see
File-Switch Databases… in the JMC Administrator Handbook.
c. When the main screen appears, select the File-Select Online Software… and
locate the JMC_Online_XXYY (where XXYY is the school year, e.g.
0607). A JMC Preferences file will then be created specifically for the JMC
Online software and will be stored in the same folder as the JMC Online
software.
d. At this point you may exit the JMC Office Application. This copy of the
JMC Office Application is no longer needed on the JMC Online server.
You may remove it if you wish.
6. If you are going to use the Online GradeBook module (not the IP GradeBook),
please also copy the files "GradeBookXXYYv1.jar" (where XXYY means the
school year, e.g. 0607) and "swingall.jar" into the root web
folder/Library/WebServer/Documents. These files can be obtained from same
Online Software folder that you just downloaded – the same folder that contained
the CGI. Occasionally, these files will not be present in your download – rest
assured that they will be available in a future download. Check with JMC for
availability.
7. To verify the Online Software and CGI setup for a specific building, you may run
the JMC Online XX-YY application. Once it is running, the name of the school
building for the attached database will be displayed at the top of the main screen
of the JMC Online XX-YY software.
8. To verify web browser access to the data for a specific building, type in the web
server IP address and pathname as follows:
http://AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD/cgi-bin/MSJMC/JMC0809.cgi
where AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD is the IP address of the web server and the MSJMC
is specified for the MS login (must include the folder for the appropriate building
in the pathname).
Note: IMPORTANT – The JMC Online XX-YY software must stay running
in order for it to handle user requests. It may be added to the startup items for
a computer or server to help ensure that the software gets started up every
time the machine is booted up.
