Introduction

  • This Install Client HELP is for setting up Clients as in any Client-Server system. It allows the application to run from a client or a remote PC connected to the application-server.
  • The term Client also means the Business Entity using the ERP System. If you want to learn how to set that, you can refer to Initial Client Setup.

Installing the ADempiere Client

If you are in the server you don't need to install the Client, because it was installed in the Server Install process. In otherwise, if you have the Application Server running point your browser to your application server:

So, you have two options:

Option 1: Web Start

Note: You need to have Java installed to succeed.

The main advantage with this option: WebStart automatically makes sure that you use the latest version.

Just click on the WebStart button and you see the WebStart Dialog:

then you will see the Security window:

Note: Sorry the text is in Spanish language. You will see in your language.

after you check it, the application start.

Option 2: Local Install

In order to Local Install , click on the zip link and extract the file content to a local directory.

You need to have setted the system environment variables:

  • JAVA_HOME
  • ADEMPIERE_HOME
  • PATH

You can set it manually, by example:

  • Set the JAVA_HOME systema environment variable to C:\jdk1.5.0_05
  • Set the ADEMPIERE_HOME system environment variable to C:\Adempiere
  • Add C:\jdk1.5.0_05\bin;C:\Adempiere\lib; at the beginning of the PATH system environment variable.

If you don’t have setted those variables, then you will receive a error message with the JAVA_HOME or ADEMPIERE_HOME variable not set. So, just make sure that you did the steps above.

Start the ADempiere Client

Start the ADempiere Client via the script RUN_Adempiere (.bat or .sh) . Then you will see the ADempiere login window:

There you can see the server field all in red (maybe only the server icon is red); press the Host/Server field and you can see the Connection dialog:

Now you must enter the Application Host name and the Application Port (default is 1099). Press the Test Application Server button. If the application server is found, then information like the database server is returned. If the application server is not running, then enter the Database Host/server name, database name, the user name and the database password.(Please check here for more detail info). After you filled the fields, press the Test Database button to connect:

You will see the Ok icon (in green) if the connection was successful. Click the Ok button to get back to the Login screen:

If the Host information is all white, you connected to the application server. If the left side is a bit red, you connected to the database, but not to the application server (the case in our example). For default Application Users and Passwords see here. Click the Ok button to see the Login Default tab

and then you can select the Role, Client and Organization. Press the Ok button and you will see the ADempiere menu:
