GESTIN-77 CLASSIC and PRO Installation

GESTIN-77 CLASSIC / PRO Installation

This page offers you an overview of the individual steps of an installation using the example of the product GESTIN-77.
If you have purchased another product from us, you can still use this page for orientation, as the installation routine is identical.

Initial installation

  1. Unpack the zip-archive

  2. Call setup product name_version number.exe.

    Please start the Gestin setup with the option "Run as administrator" from the context menu, otherwise the database may not be initialised.

  3. A demand appears

    instgest00.png

    Confirm this with "Yes".

  4. Select a language for the installation

    instgest01.png

  5. The welcome screen appears

    instgest05.png

    A longer pause may occur when scrolling to the next dialog

  9. The installation now runs

    instgest07.png

    This takes quite a while, as long as there is strong disk activity, everything is fine

  10. During the installation process you will be asked if ObjectStore is allowed to register with the firewall. Please confirm this. Otherwise the following files must be released for the domain after installation:
    C:\ODI_2013.0\ostore\bin\osserver.exe (TCP)
    C:\ODI_2013.0\ostore\bin\oscmgr6.exe (TCP)

  11. You can now create a desktop shortcut and display the readme

    instgest08.png

  12. The installation now requires a reboot

    instgest09.png

  13. Firewall settings
    Without these settings in the Fireall, the communication between client and server can be disrupted!

    Port clearances
    As incoming control, the ports 51025 (TCP) and 51031(TCP) in the domain must be released.

    Program releases
    This is only necessary if you have cancelled the automatic entry of the ObjectStore services.
    As a detailed regulation, the programs in the domain must be released:
    C:\ODI_2013.0\ostore\bin\osserver.exe (TCP)
    C:\ODI_2013.0\ostore\bin\oscmgr6.exe (TCP)

  14. The first time GESTIN is started this message will appear:

    License_nit_verified.JPG

    Press Yes and request a license file from Support at ClassiX.de by e-mail by pasting the clipboard contents into the e-mail.

    If you have a license file, please change the name to gestin.lic and copy this file into the directory ...\Gestin\Projects.

  15. You can use our template file to import your data directly. If you have a different column order in your import file, you must adapt the data set description in the import options.

Possible errors

  1. Missing rights when calling the program
    If a user without administrator rights logs on via a standard user account in Windows, this must be added to the rights of the calling batch file, because
    otherwise an error message appears at startup.

    Setting the rights for standard user accounts
    The calling batch file (Gestin_CLASSIC.bat or Gestin_PRO.bat) can be found in the default installation folder (C:\ClassiX\Gestin\Projects\Gestin).
    Call up the "Properties" of the file via the context menu and switch to the "Security" tab.

    Click the "Edit" button there and in the permissions window that appears, click the Add button.

    In the user and group selection, enter "User" and confirm your entry with Enter.

    The user group with the rights "Read, Execute" have been added to the file.

    Finally, close the permissions and properties windows by clicking the "OK" button.
  2. The preview created with BIRT cannot be opened - The system cannot find the specified file
    stin01.JPG
    This message may appear if GESTIN has been installed in the Program Files folder.
    The folder rights must then be extended for the user:
    stin02.JPG
    "Create folder" is needed to fix the actual error
    "Create Files" is useful so that log files can be written at all.
  3. Note: BIRT configuration under English operating system environment with German ClassiX Locale (location)
    In the runtime folder of BIRT (%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\configuration\) the config.ini must be extended by the following entry

    osgi.nl=en_EN

    This sets the locale hard to German, so that the (sums) calculation is correct again

Updates

  2. Call up setup-gestin.exe

Change from 32Bit to 64Bit

When changing from Gestin-77 32Bit to 64Bit the database structure changes. It is not possible to open a 32Bit database with a 64Bit version of Gestin and vice versa. It is also not possible to open a 32Bit database with a 64Bit version of Gestin-77.

It is therefore necessary to check and document the previous settings, as these must be entered into the new database. Please inform us about this step so that we can support you.

  • The ObjectStore installation requires a restart

  • Under Doc you will find the operating instructions and other introductory documents
  • Projects\Gestin\Gestin_Classic.bat can be changed by the user and will not be overwritten during an update.
    If a user without administrator rights logs on via a standard user account in Windows, this must be added to the rights of the calling batch file, because
