The following document explains the steps needed for the software Catalyst (current version 4.11) to work properly in ABCC environment. Note throughout the document the commands to type on the unix shell are shown in red. To use Catalyst in ABCC you need a ABCC user account and an Oracle account. If you have questions, please feel free to contact ABCC Help-Desk.
Each Catalyst session will create a new sub-directory called "catdata". In the catdata, there will be many files containing information pertaining to that particular session. One such file called 'StockroomDB.bdb' contains information about the Catalyst server (in our case IBM) and the oracle database server.
This section assumes that you have the correct X-Windows environment to run software installed on unix/linux server. Log into our front-end server, ncisgi.ncifcrf.gov. The following commands will start Catalyst with the Oracle settings. Before you start catalyst, move to a new directory, and type the following commands at the Unix prompt.
set path = ($path /usr/local/fbscapp/bin) RunA catalyst
Note: you can also add the "set path ...." command to your .cshrc.IRIX64 or .kshrc.IRIX64.
Log into our front-end server, ncisgi.ncifcrf.gov. Before you start catalyst, move to the directory from where you had previously worked with Catalyst, and type the following commands at the Unix prompt.
set path = ($path /usr/local/fbscapp/bin) RunA catalyst
Note: you can also add the "set path ...." command to your .cshrc.IRIX64 or .kshrc.IRIX64.
