Note:
This section is applicable if you want to install the Workbench
plug-ins in standalone mode, that is, not as part of the full webMethods
EntireX installation.
Prerequisites for all EntireX components are described centrally. See Prerequisites in the Release Notes. EntireX supports the Eclipse version provided with the respective webMethods suite.
The webMethods installation contains a folder <installation_root>\Designer\updates with archived update sites of all the features installed. To install the EntireX Workbench into some Eclipse use the archived update sites:
eclipse.exx.UpdatePackage.zip
com.softwareag.common.zip
eclipse.wss.990.UpdatePackage.nnnn.zip
The Eclipse features com.softwareag.common.zip and com.softwareag.wsstack.ui_n.n.n.nnn are prerequisites for installing the Workbench plug-ins in standalone mode. All features listed above can be installed in one installation step.
See EntireX Workbench for more information.
Follow the instruction in the Eclipse online help under . Install the three features listed above. You can use drag-and-drop to add the three archived update sites from the folder <suite installation folder>\Designer\updates to the list of update sites to visit.
To install updates to your own Eclipse you need a Software AG Designer installation with EntireX plugins of the same version as for your Eclipse.
To install the updates
Use the Software AG Update Manager to install the latest fixes of EntireX plugins into the Software AG Designer. After installation you will find a folder <installation_root>\install\fix\backup\Designer\repo.
If your own Eclipse is on the same machine, you can define this folder as local Update Site for your Eclipse.
If your Eclipse is on a different machine, transfer this folder and all its subfolders to the other machine and define it there as local Update Site.
Under some circumstances, an Eclipse error message indicates that file repo could not be found. You can ignore this message.
Choose and select the EntireX update.
Install the Update.
Follow these steps again for every new update.
Uninstalling the EntireX Workbench plug-ins is done with the Uninstall wizard described under .
