Getting Started

Previous  Top  Next

This section contains a step-by-step instruction for getting started as easily as possible with the sample data. The instructions are for windows only:

·	Unzip all files to an empty folder, c:\rwnetserver3 for instance.

·	Store the license file rwnetserver.lic (get it from RouteWare) in the folder \server_win32.

·	Start the makenetwork application.

·	Click on "select input" and navigate to \sample_data\shp folder.

·	Select fields from the dropdown list until it looks like this:

·	Click the "create network" button.

·	Inspect the file network_report.txt. Any errors reported at the end? Should be 0.

·	Open the rwnetserver.ini file. If you choose c:\rwnetserver3 as main folder, no changes are needed. Otherwise update the 2 settings for file folders.

·	Start the RW NetServer application.

·	Click the Listen button.

·	Start the application in the demo folder

·	Click the Connect button

Let us make 2 calculations:

·	Select the "RW_NETCALC.3.00" service in the inventory list (list of services in the server)

·	Type "setshortest" in the Function edit box

·	Click the Call button

·	Type "route", "100" and "200" in the service call area as shown below.

·	Click the Call button

You have now calculated a route from node 100 to node 200 in the network. The distance was 12.262 km.

·	Select the "RW_NETBASE.3.00" service in the inventory list

·	Type "airdistnode", "1", "100" and "200" in the service call area (not illustrated below)

·	Click the Call button

You have now calculated the "as-the-crow-flies" distance between node 100 to node 200 in network 1. The distance was 7.751 km.
