NDR Tools

Administrative tools for aiding the NDR repository administrator.

Command Line Tool for Interacting with the Repository

Code Location: https://svn.nsdl.org/NCore/toolkits/java/tags/1.0/src/java/org/nsdl/repository/admin/tasks/

To generate the jar for use on your local machine:

• check out https://svn.nsdl.org/NCore/toolkits/java/trunk
• run dist-admin ant target in build.xml
• copy ncore-client-admin-1.0.jar
  FROM: from project's dist directory
  TO: area where you would like to run the jar

NOTE: For Edupak installed on a PC using default directory locations per Edupak install instructions, create a directory at C:\Edupak\bin. Copy the jar file to this directory. Create a batch file named nca.bat in the same directory (or whatever name you wish to name it) that will run the jar and add the following lines...

cd C:\Edupak\bin
java -jar ncore_client_admin-1.0.jar

Usage:

Executable jar that allows for administration of NDR...

• ncore-client-admin-1.0.jar - executable jar that includes ncore_client_static-1.0.jar and its executable
• open execute window to the location of the ncore-client-admin-1.0.jar file
• command to run this jar...

java -jar ncore_client_admin-1.0.jar

based on user prefs at... (builds following prefs file for you and allows you to save current locs when exiting)

~.java/.userPrefs/org/nsdl/repository/admin

Note that, on Windows systems, these preferences will be saved to the registry:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\org....

If you are using ssh or other tunneling to your local system, the repository URL should look something like this:

 http://localhost:8380/repository/api

(Tunneled ports necessary are 8380 and perhaps 8343)
