Version CloverDX 5.13.4

Evaluation Server

The default installation of CloverDX Server uses embedded Apache Derby DB; therefore, it does not require any external database server or subsequent configuration, as CloverDX Server configures itself during the first startup. Database tables and some necessary records are automatically created on the first startup with an empty database.

By performing a subsequent configuration, you can evaluate other CloverDX Server features (e.g. sending emails, LDAP authentication, Clustering, etc.). This way, you can also prepare the Evaluation Server for production environment. However, note that the embedded Apache Derby database is not supported for production environment. Therefore, before the subsequent configuration, choose one of the supported external dedicated databases.

If the CloverDX Server must be evaluated on application containers other than Tomcat, or you prefer a different database system, proceed with a common installation of Production Server

  3. Set the JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME Environment Variables:

    • Unix-like systems:

      • Open the /bin/setenv.sh file and define the path at the beginning of the file: 

        export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.8.0_121
        setenv.sh edited in Linux.

        Figure 7.1. setenv.sh edited in Linux.


    • Windows system:

      • Open the /bin/setenv.bat file and define the path at the beginning of the file: 

        set "JAVA_HOME=C:\java\jdk1.8.0"
        setenv.bat edited in Windows.

        Figure 7.2. setenv.bat edited in Windows.
