The New IRIS installer Maria Corina D. Habito Systems Analyst / Programmer IRRI-CIMMYT Crop Research Informatics Laboratory
Background • NSIS Scripting for the IRIS installer was based on the work of CRIL colleagues Jesper Norgaard and Hector Sanchez for IWIS3 (wheat) and IMIS (maize) installers, respectively (during the last few years)
Objective • Simplify the installation process, with beginners in mind • Automate creation of database records for ICIS user management (required for ICIS applications to run properly)
Select language • English • Spanish • Danish
Name of project / local database • A new record in the local INSTLN table is automatically added. • The name of the local database or project will be included in the Installation Description (IDESC) in the local INSTLN table.
IRIS username & password This user is automatically added in the local USERS table, and automatically defined as Local Administrator (UTYPE=422) so that the user can make edits to the local database immediately ---requested by Shawn Yates, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Components to install • Pre-selected options: copy the IRIS central databases to the user's PC/machine, and install a clean local database. • Components installed by default: • ICIS software applications • Documentation, Help files • IRIS Breeders’ Training Course manual • IRIS training database
Create shortcut on desktop? Run IRIS now? (via Launcher app)
If “Yes” – run program… Switch between training database and clean local database easily
