Getting Started with Ridgeline

Starting the Ridgeline Server

The Ridgeline Server consists of two components:
The Ridgeline Database Server
●
The Ridgeline Server
●
Both components must be running in order to run the Ridgeline client.
In a Windows environment, the Ridgeline server components are installed as services. By default, the
two Ridgeline Server components will start automatically when you boot the server. At installation, you
can optionally specify that the components be started manually. If you chose this option, see the
Ridgeline Installation and Upgrade Guide for to instructions for starting the Ridgeline server components
manually.

Starting the Ridgeline Server in a Linux or Solaris Environment

To start the Ridgeline server, enter the following commands in the order shown:
/etc/init.d/RidgelineDB20 start
/etc/init.d/RidgelineServer20 start
You must have administrative rights to access

Launching the Ridgeline Client

The Ridgeline Client initialization process makes use of Java Web Start technology. Java Web Start allows
you to obtain files necessary to run the Ridgeline Client directly from the Ridgeline Server by pointing a
browser to the Ridgeline Server and clicking on a hyperlink. The download and installation of the
Ridgeline software on the client system takes place automatically.
Each time you launch the Client, Ridgeline checks whether you have the most current version. If you do
not, Ridgeline automatically updates the client files on your system.
Client initialization using Java Web Start requires that the client system have a certain version of the
Java plug-in installed. If the client system does not have this required Java version, then you are
directed to a location where you can download the correct version.
The Ridgeline Client application can be launched on systems running one of the following operating
environments:
Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional with SP1 or later, or Windows 2003/2008
●
Server running on an Intel Pentium-compatible CPU
or
Solaris 10
●
or
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5
●
A Ridgeline Client requires a monitor that supports 1024 x 768 resolution, and at least 16-bit color. Your
system display settings must be set for at least 65536 colors. See the Ridgeline Installation and Upgrade
Guide for memory, CPU, disk and other requirements.
