Documentation is located in documentation folder. SCRUM and UP framework related things are in Analysis and Design folder.

Prerequisites

• Java JDK 1.8
• Java IDE

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/davele-itsme/Semester-project-2.git

2. Open the project in Java IDE
3. Run: RunApplicationHQ, RunApplicationWH, RunApplicationRT

If you want to create tables with already existing data to test the system, please follow these guidelines

Set up tables:

1. Open PgAdmin
2. Create a new database
3. Go into src/jdbc/ and open DataBaseModel
4. Find setConnection() and change the Strings to match the database
5. Run src/jdbc/Setup.java

Now you have the required tables and dummy data

Now you have to run the server before running the applications Run application:

1. Run src/network/Server/Server.java
2. Open src/Run.java, src/RunHQ.java and src/RunRT.java and change the HOST String to "localhost"

Now you can use RunApplicationHQ, RunApplicationWH and RunApplicationRT to open the different clients. Beware of closing clients, the Server still thinks you're connected and will keep throwing exceptions, which might slow down your system.
