Intialize

You may select one or more functions for this program to perform. The functions are listed below.

Field Description
Create Tables Creates required tables in the database for all database objects in the default schema and in any registered schemas. If the table already exists, no further action occurs.
Setup Default Security Sets user security for a user named "Admin" to access all tables created.
Create Default Config Values Create an entry for all required configuration values for all known schemas. If there are customized values already set up, this function will not overwrite them.
Perform additional Setup Schema objects may optionally provide a method for additional setup to be performed. This method may create application component records, create default values in look up tables and any other required initialize functions.

Initial Setup

When first setting up a server, perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Initialize servlet, selecting all functions. This will create all of the required tables for the standard Javacorporate schema in your database.
  2. Go to the Setup Functions page by clicking Setup on the Expresso Frameworks Table of Contents and select Database Schema Objects. Add a new Schema object definition for each of the applications you have installed, if any.
  3. Come back to the Initialize servlet and run it again. Now all of the required items for each of the schemas will be created, and default security will be initialized.
