User Steps for Setting Up G-Repository Client

This lesson goes over the steps that your users must complete to set up G-Repository Client on their local machine.

Note: If the user’s machine has already been set up to download Scenarios and generate test data, then Steps 1 through 3 do not need to be completed.

Step 1: Download and Install Java version 1.7 or Higher.

The user will need to install Java Runtime or Java Developer Kit 1.7 or higher on their local machine. The articles below can be used to view step-by-step installation instructions:

Step 2: Download and Install latest version of GenRocket Runtime.

GenRocket Runtime can be downloaded from GenRocket Cloud by logging in with your user credentials.

Once downloaded, complete the steps outlined one of the articles below:

Step 3: Download User Profile and place in .genrocket Subdirectory.

Each user will need to download their User Profile to their local machine and then place it within the .genrocket subdirectory within the home directory.

Step 4: Create a G-Repository Client Base Subdirectory (Performed only once)

Before G-Repository Client Repos can be created on a computer, a base subdirectory, within the computer, must be created and registered as the G-Repository Client’s base subdirectory.  

Command:

Syntax: -grcltbc

Example: genrocket -grcltbc

Example Usage:

In the example below, the user, johnDoe, launches a command line terminal and executes the following three steps:

  1. Makes a base subdirectory where all G-Repository Client Repos will be created,
  2. Changes to the newly made subdirectory,
  3. Executes the GenRocket command to register the subdirectory as the G-Repository Client base subdirectory.

mkdir /home/johnDoe/GRepositoryClient/

cd /home/johnDoe/GRepositoryClient/

genrocket -grcltbc

***** Welcome to G-Repository Client *****

This process is for establishing a G-RepositoryClient, Base Directory.
This base directory is where all G-RepositoryClient repositories will reside on this computer.

You are currently in subdirectory, /home/johnDoe/GRepositoryClient

Are you sure you want this to be your G-RepositoryClient Base Directory (y/n): y

Congratulations! /home/johnDoe/GRepositoryClient, is now your G-RepositoryClient Base Directory


Step 5: Create a G-Repository Client Repository (Performed for each Repo)

A G-Repository Client Repo mirrors a Project Version managed by a G-Repository Server or directly from GenRocket Cloud.

A Repo will need to be created for each Project Version that the user will be using to generate test data.

Command

Syntax: -grcltc -grepo repoName

Example: genrocket -grcltc  -grepo BankDemo

Example Usage:

In the example below, a User launches a command-line terminal and the full –grcltc command to create a G-Repository Client Repo named BankDemo:

> genrocket -grcltc -grepo BankDemo

***** Welcome to G-Repository Client *****

Are you sure you want this to create GenRocket client repository (y/n): y

Do you want this to connect to an OnPremise G-Repository Server (y/n): y

Please enter G-Repository Server’s URL (e.g. 10.1.0.1): 176.16.191.129

Please enter G-Repository Server’s main port number (e.g. 8020): 8020

***Successfully connecting to repository server at localhost: 8020 ***

Please enter G-Repository Server’s download port number (e.g.8021): 8021

***Successfully connecting to download server at localhost:8021 ***
