Getting Started
Requirements#
- At least Java 8 runtime on your preferred platform
- Verify by running
java -version
- Verify by running
- Network access to SIS data
Getting the Java Runtime#
If you need to download and install a Java runtime, AdoptOpenJDK.net is a recommended source to get Java for a wide variety of platforms: https://adoptopenjdk.net.
SIS Tools is currently tested with Java LTS releases 8 and 11.
Download#
SIS Tools is a Java application packaged as a single executable JAR file. Available releases can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page. The project follows semantic versioning, and each new release will have incremented version number.
It can be installed virtually in any environment where a Java application can run, and has the appropriate network access to reach the necessary SIS data. As an example, SIS systems often include in their architecture a job submission server where scheduled business processes run. This is an ideal place to run this application.
Installation#
Create a directory, and download the latest JAR file to that location
- If you have complete access to your environment, you might consider a location such as
/opt/cvcoei - Cloud hosting customers may only be able to create a directory within their home assigned account
- If you have complete access to your environment, you might consider a location such as
Create a
configdirectory in the same location as the JAR file. See the configuration page for additional detail.
