Operating the final system
If you want to start the library application server on the same machine that you are performing the configuration on you need to “publish” the business space version that you have configured. To do this right click on the node representing the business space version in the Elements Tree and select Publish in the pop-up menu. Once the business space version has been published its state will change to CURRENT which indicates that the application can be used in operation.
To start operating the system users will need to point their browsers to the following URL:
http://serverName:8080/AwareIM/logon.html1)
where “serverName” is the name of the machine where Aware IM Server (or Aware IM Control Panel) is running. This name can be “localhost” if you are running it on one machine only or it can be the network name of your server if you are running the system only within your local area network or it can be the DNS name or IP address of the server in the Internet if you are using the system over the Internet.
If you have configured your application for other companies to use, then you need to prepare a distributable version of Aware IM that includes your configuration. In this case you do not need to “publish” the business space version. Instead you need to right click on the node representing the version you want to distribute and select “Build executable” from the pop-up menu - note that you will need a special Aware IM edition for developers to be able to use this feature. Once you select this feature Aware IM will display a dialog where you will be able to specify the name of the product, copyright and other information. When you click on the OK button Aware IM will build the executable in the directory you specify. You can distribute this executable to your users.
