Evaluate Objectivity/DB on Other Cloud Computing Platforms
Services include Savvis, TerreMark, Mosso (RackSpace), and others.
If you're using one of the popular cloud computing services available today, you may be able to install and configure Objectivity/DB for evaluation as easily as you would your own desktop or dev environment. As long as the available platform supports our software, you can be up-and-running quickly. Just register, download, install the software and license file, and you're ready to go.
Download an evaluation version of Objectivity/DB
- Go here: https://download.Objectivity.com/
- Click the "Register" button and follow the instructions (a valid email address will be required). Note: Be sure to select the appropriate Trial Type - e.g., "License for other cloud environments (not EC2)" - from the registration page.
Obtain and install the Objectivity/DB license key file
You will need to obtain a unique Objectivity/DB license key file (oolicense.txt) and copy it to the directory where Objectivity/DB has been installed within the machine image. The license file allows each of your instances to remain fully functional for up to 30-days. Extensions to this evaluation period may be provided upon request and approval.
- Upon successfully completed registration, the license file will be immediately sent to the email address you provided.
Note: To ensure our messages reach your inbox, you may need to add our addresses ("license@Objectivity.com" and "customer-contact@Objectivity.com") to your allowed senders or email white-lists.
- Connect to any instance of Objectivity/DB you're running on your preferred cloud computing service account, and navigate to the home directory specified during the Objectivity/DB installation.
- Use your terminal/commands to copy the license file (oolicense.txt) received through your registration directly to the installation directory.
Connect to Objectivity/DB instances
- You may connect to the image instance as the root user, but it is advised to create a separate user account under which the Objectivity/DB application is run. Refer to your cloud provider's instructions on changing any available SSH configuration files, if you want to allow login directly to any user account.
- The Objectivity/DB code and samples can be found under the installation directory or home folder specified during installation.
Note: In order to run any samples you need to start the Objectivity/DB Lockserver. Run the command oolockserver to start the Lockserver.
- The system PATH environment variable has been modified to point to the bin subdirectory under the Objectivity home folder.
- Both images come pre-installed with the following development software: JDK 1.6, GNU c/c++, and Python 2.6.2
Important Notes:
- Important: A valid "oolicense.txt" license must be copied to the instance of Objectivity/DB you have running, in order for it to function.
For multiple instances of Objectivity/DB, our unique distributed architecture allows you to specify the primary database instance (or "federated database") to which all other clients will automatically connect and distribute data. In this case, you only need install or copy the license file once, to the primary instance designated as the federated database.
- Please consult the Objectivity/DB product documentation for more information (clicking this link opens a new window and an Adobe Acrobat PDF format document).
- When you terminate any instance, most cloud services will reallocate the machine to other users, and any work on that/those machine(s) will be lost unless you've saved it elsewhere.
- Objectivity/DB may be evaluated for up to 30 days (from the date when you obtained the license file). There is no obligation at any time. This is simply a fully functional trial which will stop working when the license expires.
- Note that we are simply providing public machine images for evaluation through third-parties. You are responsible for any terms and conditions, usage fees or other obligations related to your use of these third-party services.
- Additionally, we can only provide technical and product support for issues related to our software and simply cannot answer questions related generally to Linux, CentOS, Eclipse, or any other tools or components obtained or used through this OS, the cloud service provider or related systems outside our control.
- As part of your registration, we will send emails at key intervals during the evaluation period, letting you know when your license is expiring - in addition to providing links to free online training courses and technical product documentation. We do not share any information with any third parties for any reason.
- Your evaluation may be extended on request and approval, and we also can provide one-to-one project consultation for particularly complex projects.
