Running mvDesigner for the First Time

mvDesigner asks you to configure the connection parameters when starting mvDesigner IDE for the first time.

To start the IDE:

Select Start > Programs > TigerLogic > mvDesigner to start the IDE in Windows.

Once the environment is loaded, the Registration Details serialization dialog box displays.

Enter the Development License Serial Number provided by TigerLogic on the cover of the CD-ROM, then click OK.

When mvDesigner starts, the main menu and IDE toolbars are installed. The Welcome to mvDesigner dialog box displays.

Close the Welcome to mvDesigner dialog box.

Because there are no servers configured the first time the IDE runs, the New Server dialog box displays.

Enter the connection data.

Field	Description
User Name	Enter the mvDesigner user name that was set up by the server administrator. Default is ADMIN. WARNING The User Name must be uppercase.
User Password	Enter the mvDesigner password corresponding to the user name. The default User Name (ADMIN) does not require a password.
IP Address	Enter the IP address or network name of the machine running the FlashCONNECT Socket Server. This can be in dot-separated numeric form or a name for the server, for example, myhost.
Port Number	Enter the TCP port number of the Socket Server. The default is 6886. WARNING Do not confuse the Socket Server port with the FlashCONNECT port 1505.
Server Pool	The default server pool is default. WARNING The server pool name is case sensitive. The default name is lowercase.
Name This Server	Enter a name to identify the server. The name is displayed in the Enterprise Browser and does not have to be the network name or the computer name. NOTE mvDesigner uses this name throughout the classes developed to identify the server.

Click Connect to connect to your server.

If the connection is successful, the Enterprise Browser displays the tree view of your server.

The installation is complete. See the mvDesigner Programmer’s Guide and User's Guide for additional information about using and developing programs with mvDesigner.
