Re: [ptp-user] Looking for installation guide for mainframe admins

Hi Brian,

Installation requirements are described in the release notes here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/release_notes/6.0

However, it all depends on what you're trying to do. If you're using synchronized projects then you only need to have git installed on the server, and no other installation is necessary. The monitoring component of PTP only requires perl on the server, which is usually available anyway.

If you're using remote (RDT) projects then it depends on the type of remote connection you use. For Remote Tools, PTP will automatically install a jar file on the remote machine, so you only need to have the right version of java installed. If you want to use RSE, then you will need to do some extra installation. This is also described in the Remote Development Tools User Guide which is available online here: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp, or from the help documentation that comes with PTP.

I would recommend synchronized projects, or if you want purely remote projects (using RDT), then using the Remote Tools connection is the simplest.

Note that all these requirements are for the login node only. You don't need to install anything on the compute nodes of the machine to use PTP.

Regards,
Greg

The target machine is a Linux mainframe using Moab and Torque for task scheduling.   (see https://www.rc.colorado.edu/systems/supercomputer for the technical specs of the machine).
