Installing Skyway Visual Workspace

With this release, Skyway Software provides a simpler installation approach that eliminates the need for the user to pre-install an application server and database server for Skyway Builder to use. Note, that the application server and database server that come as part of the Skyway Builder are used to store the meta-data needed for application development and by default, the generated Skyway applications. Users can configure their local domain to use other supported application servers and database servers for generated Skyway applications.

Before performing an installation, ensure the following is considered:

• There is at least 800 MB of available disk space for the installer to successfully unpack and execute

• The user installing the software needs to have Administrative privileges on the target system

• Use of the net command must be permitted to create a user (SkywayDBuser) on the target system

• If installing Skyway products on different systems, the systems need to be able to communicate across the network
