Installing and running sample applications    

Sample applications are installed on your hard drive and accessible as Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere databases when you install the SilverStream product with specific options. After installation, you must add the sample databases to your server before you can run the applications. These procedures are described below.

To install and run sample applications:

1. Install the SilverStream product with these options:
   • Install Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere.
   • Select one of these installation types:

     Type of install	What happens
     Typical install	Installs all sample applications and creates their ODBC settings, but does not add them to your server. This option is recommended to conserve space on the server.
     Full install	Installs all sample applications, creates their ODBC settings, and adds all sample applications to your server at once.
     Custom install	If you select Sample databases, installs sample applications you select, creates their ODBC settings, and adds them to your server.

     By default, you can access these databases with the user name dba and password sql.

2. If you chose Typical install, add sample applications of interest to your server by selecting Add Database from the Main Designer or by using the SilverCmd AddDatabase command line tool.
3. Run the sample application according to these guidelines:

   Sample application	How to invoke
   Accessor3 DataXPress3 Examples3_EJB Examples3_HTML SilverBooks3 WineDemo3	Run in a browser.
   Examples3_Java	Run as a standalone process in SilverJRunner.
   WebSite3	See implementation instructions.
