Running PV-WAVE on Windows

Running PV-WAVE on Windows varies depending on which version of Windows you have.

To run the PV-WAVE app, do one of the following:

On Windows versions prior to 8, you can find the PV-WAVE apps in the Start menu under Programs=>PV‑WAVE. PV-WAVE installs the PV-WAVE Home Window and PV-WAVE Console apps. Select one of these apps to start PV-WAVE.

On Windows version 8.1 and above, you can find the PV-WAVE app listed in the all apps view. Select the PV-WAVE 2017.0 Home Window app to start PV-WAVE.

When the WAVE> prompt displays inside the PV‑WAVE window, you can enter PV‑WAVE commands.

In runtime mode, you can run a compiled PV‑WAVE application directly from the operating system prompt. When the compiled application is finished running, control returns to the operating system level.

To execute a compiled, saved application (files with a .cpr extension) from the operating system prompt, enter the following command from the directory where the compiled application is saved, where -r is a flag that specifies runtime mode:

Where <RW_DIR> is the directory where PV-WAVE is installed. Note that the .cpr extension is not used when invoking the application.

note	The directory shown in this example is for the 32-bit Windows version of PV-WAVE. For the 64-bit version, replace bin.i386nt with bin.win64.

note	In runtime mode PV-WAVE cannot compile applications. Applications may only be compiled when running PV-WAVE in interactive mode. For information on the COMPILE procedure, see the PV-WAVE Reference.

JWAVE is available if you have purchased PV-WAVE Advantage. If you have not purchased PV-WAVE Advantage or if you do not intend to use JWAVE, your installation is finished and you can skip this section. Before starting the JWAVE manager you need to create the JWAVE manager script and the JWAVE configuration file.

To create these files:

Where <RW_DIR> is the installation directory and <JAVA_BIN_DIR> is the JRE directory.

note	Before running JWAVE, you must first run the manager configuration tool by calling manager config from your <RW_DIR>/jwave-3_6/bin directory to check all of the configuration settings and generate the JWaveConnectInfo.jar file in your <RW_DIR>/classes directory.

To start the JWAVE Manager:

To run JWAVE server demonstration programs, go to classes\jwave_demos and open the file index.html in a Web browser for more information. The JWAVE Manager must be running before you can run the demonstration programs.

To shutdown the JWAVE Manager:

Refer to the JWAVE User’s Guide for information on setting up and configuring the JWAVE server.

The JWAVE User’s Guide is included in the PV-WAVE online help, which is also available on the Rogue Wave Web site.
