Live ONE WORLD on Laptop

Hello all

Is it possible to install a live version of JDE on a laptop ( one laptop acting as Deployment server, enter prise server and Workstation).
Or else can I use the Demo vs with an Actual SQL server. Pls let me know

Not sure but I don't think you can install on a laptop.

J_J,
our sales people once asked me to do something like that for some demo purpose. I copied JDE server software and the (Oracle) database on to a laptop and got the JDE services running.
I am not sure what you want to do. Unless you want to do development do not really need the DS. And if you do not start the JDE services you can run a fat client copy against a real database on one machine, even a laptop. There is a conflict between a fat client and JDE services on the same machine (see another thread on the LIST).

Good luck, Gerd

Sure you can (install JDE on a laptop)...

Get a beefy laptop, and VM a DS, ES and client...

Did I say you needed a beefy laptop?

If you haven't looked at some of the VM technology, you need to look again. I'd suggest Microsoft's Virtual PC or VMWare. M$'s VPC is a dream....

But can you run all the three es ds and wks at the same time with VM ware.. not sure.. but let me know if you have done this..

Great.. that exactly why i need it for... DO you have any document on how did you acived it.. they need to do some demo and all .. any help wil be greatly appreciated

JJ

Yes - you can run all three at the same time - if your laptop has enough ponies under the keyboard.

I recently worked with a M$ guy that was exhibiting several servers and a couple clients from the same laptop (at the same time). It didn't seem that difficult to setup (his words) - and it ran quite smoothly. I beleive he was using a pre-release version of the Virtual Server... I'll apply some links.

The one time a VPC crashed - it restarted at the same instant it died at - quite fun!

Yes

I've installed all parts of an Enterprise Server, (Application Server, Database Server), Deployment Server, Terminal Server and Web Server on a single workstation with VMWare (http://www.vmware.com).

I would use the far more mature VMWare, since it not only has many flavours (including ESX and GSX Servers, as well as a virtual SMP version) - but it also allows the user to install any type of virtual i386 operating system on the host machine - including NT 4.0, Linux and FreeBSD. This is far better than the Microsoft Virtual PC which is restricted to supported Microsoft OS's. I believe that Microsoft license much of the technology from VMWare, which just got purchased by EMC.

There are some limitations however. The lowest-end license, VMWare Workstation, will only address a total of 1Gb across all machines. (ESX and GSX server goes beyond this, but at a substantial price difference). However, the CPU rate is approximately 99% of the host CPU, which is extremely efficient.

Naturally, the way around the memory limitation is to create a Deployment Server with 128Mb, a Terminal Server with 128Mb, give the Enterprise Server 256Mb and if need be, give 512Mb to the web server. If you do not plan to use the webserver, then double each of the previous servers.

Usually, however, I place the Database on the native OS, together with the application server - which leaves the 1Gb for Terminal Server/Deployment Server/Web Server.

Download the trial version (it works for 30 days) - its extremely easy to implement.

Lastly, of course, you need a TON of hard disk space available, since each Virtual Machine will reserve the drive space on the host machine.

A full package takes about 11 hours on my all-in-one machine, which is an AMD 2.4Gz with 1.5Gb RAM, and relatively slow drives.
