iteraplan - Download and Installation

Get your personal iteraplan Community Edition at Sourceforge.

If you don't have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, you can download Java 6 (sometimes also referred to as version 1.6) or higher here. You may also use the Java Development Kit (JDK), but the Runtime Environment suffices.

In order to successfully install iteraplan you have to set the environment variable JRE_HOME (if you have installed the JDK instead, the variable must be named JAVA_HOME). See here for a quick how-to for setting environment variables in a Windows environment. For example, if you have Java installed into the path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 (on Linux e.g. /opt/java/jre1.6.0_17) the environment variables must refer to these directories, not any sub-directories.

Download either of the files iteraplan-ce-demo-bankdata or iteraplan-ce-demo-initaldata from SourceForge. The former contains demo data for a fictive bank, whereas the latter contains no data at all.

Unzip the file into a directory in your local file system. Please make sure that the full path and the directory name does not contain any white spaces or special characters.

Additionally, the package contains an Apache Tomcat Servlet Engine and a HSQLDB database. Both are required to run iteraplan. To start both components execute either of the skripts runIteraplan.bat (Windows) or runIteraplan.sh (Linux) epending on your environment. To them shutdown execute either shutdown.bat (Windows) or shutdown.sh (Linux). If run with default settings, the application will use the following TCP/IP ports: 8080, 8009, 8005, 9001. Please make sure, that these ports are free before starting the application.

After executing the start script, enter the address http://localhost:8080/iteraplan into your browser to get to iteraplan's welcome page. Now you can enter, edit or delete data. The data is available after a restart of the application.

Enjoy your journey into Enterprise Architecture Management with iteraplan.
