Running Cascade Server on Mac OS X

Configuring the Application with the Database

Navigate to {%Cascade Server%}/cascade/server/default/deploy and edit the data source configuration file that corresponds to the database which will be used. (eg, if using MySQL, edit the file mysql-ds.xml)

Locate the <jndi-name> element and set the value to SystemDS:

<jndi-name>SystemDS</jndi-name>

Set the <connection-url> element such that it points to the database server (leave as 'localhost' if database is located on the same machine)

Set the <user-name> and <password> elements using the login credentials to the database.
Edit the remaining two -ds.xml files and set <jndi-name> to SystemDS# (where # is any digit 1-9). For example:

<jndi-name>SystemDS3</jndi-name>

Note: Do not modify the file hsqldb-ds.xml

Open a new Terminal shell and change directories to the Cascade Server bin folder: %Cascade Server%/cascade/bin.

Give execute rights to all files in the directory by typing:

sudo chmod -R u+x $PWD

Start Cascade Server by running the run.sh shell script:

./run.sh &

Note: make sure to add the ampersand '&' to run in the background, if necessary.

We recommend editing your rc.local or rc.common file to have Cascade Server booted up upon restart of the machine.
