Install BEST EAST Tools

• BEST_v2.1_2008-07-11_Windows_2000-XP.exe: BEST Software for Windows.

You must have Java installed, I used the latest JDK (JDK 6 Update 7) which you can download from Sun - http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

To install the tools you just need to run the installer, but you need to install it to a location that has no spaces in the path name i.e. c:\BEST. DO NOT INSTALL IT TO THE DEFAULT LOCATION.

You may also have to tell it the location of you JRE in the JDK. In the c:\BEST\bin directory there is a file called Debat.ini. You need to edit this file with notepad or wordpad an edit the location of the JRE to the location where it is installed on your system. On my system the JRE in the JDK is in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\jre and so the JRE attribute in the Debat.ini file looks like:

!JRE=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\jre

You can also change the JDK attribute:

!JDK=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07  

RepInfo? Wiz

I had a go at creating a wizard to take you through the steps of adding RepInfo? to the registry:

• RepInfoWiz-ss.doc: Screen shots of the new RepInfoWiz? tool.

To add the RepInfo? for the above data example you would first run the wizard to add the EAST (Structure RepInfo?) and associate it with the RepInfo? for EAST. Then you would run it again to add the DEDSL description associate it with the RepInfo? for DEDSL. Finally you would then run through the tools to create the RepInfo? for a data object, which is the EAST and DEDSL descriptions you added in the first two runs.
