4 1. Overview 1.1 Purpose McMaster Service-Based ehealth Integration Environment (MacSeie) allows interoperability between two health care systems. The first system is a clinical decision support system from the COMPETE III Group known as Vascular Tracker (VT). VT uses algorithms that use the patient s medical history, current medications, allergies, and vascular risk to generate messages which contain specific targets as well as recommendations. For health care providers and patients VT indentifies which vascular risk factors are on target and which ones require additional attention. The health care providers use the recommendations to help in the treatment of patients with diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. The second legacy system is an electronic medical record (EMR). This EMR system contains the medical information of patients who are currently rehabilitating from cardiovascular disease. These patients require a method to keep track of their cardiovascular risk factors to ensure that the risk factors are on target, and if not, alert the physician so that action can be taken. EMR and VT systems are web-based therefore are accessible through a web browser. This manual provides the requirements and installation instructions for MacSeie 1.0 on the Microsoft Windows operating system. 1.2 How to Use This Document In this document, the first part gives the system requirements for running MacSeie. This includes the software and hardware prerequisites. The second part describes the steps to install and configure all necessary software to run MacSeie. 1.3 Assumptions In addition to the instructions outlined in this manual, it is assumed that anyone installing MacSeie should have working knowledge and/or experience with: General installation of software on the target platform Proficient use of Microsoft Windows operating system Using and configuring the Eclipse development environment Installing and using Eclipse plug-ins

Any browser used in MacSeie 1.0 must support JavaScript 1.2 and scripting must not be disabled. Presently there are three tested and supported web browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater Firefox Browser or greater Apple Safari or greater

8 3. Installation and Configuration 3.1 Java Development Kit (JDK) The Java Development Kit (JDK) which includes the Java Run-time Environment (JRE) is necessary in order for Apache Tomcat to operate properly as this is a Tomcat prerequisite. Download the Java SE Development Kit from Sun Microsystems website at which is shown below: After completing the download execute the JDK file jdk-xuxx-windows-i586.exe (x represents the version number and xx represents the update number) and follow the on-screen instructions.

9 3.2 Apache Tomcat Download Apache Tomcat 5.5 from and make sure to select the Windows Service Installer link from the Binary Distributions Core shown in the following figure. Execute file apache-tomcat exe and follow the on-screen instructions by accepting the start of the installation wizard and accepting the license agreement. Select Normal installation for the Select the type to install and click Next.

Specify a new port number to access the Tomcat server from a web

10 Click Next to install into the default location or specify a new path in the Destination Folder and then click Next. Specify a new port number to access the Tomcat server from a web browser or leave the default port to Indicate a User Name and Password for the Administrator

The next windows will ask to specify the location of the Java

11 Login to access the Tomcat Manager which will be shown in the Installing Eclipse section. The next windows will ask to specify the location of the Java Virtual Machine. The path should be filled in automatically assuming you have already installed the JDK earlier.

12 Now click Next and wait for the installation to complete. When this is finished uncheck the boxes to View the Readme unless you wish to view it and Start Tomcat Server as the Tomcat server will be tested through Eclipse (Section 3.3) with the Sysdeo plug-in to confirm that the plug-in and Tomcat server are both working correctly. 3.3 Eclipse Download Eclipse 3.1 or higher from The Eclipse IDE for Java Developers is recommended. The installation package is a compressed ZIP file so any extraction software that can handle ZIP files such as WinZip ( or WinRar ( are required. Using the extraction software, extract the files to a suitable location on your hard disk such as C:\Program Files\eclipse. Locate the eclipse folder in the location that you extracted the files to and execute eclipse.exe

Now the Sysdeo Tomcat Eclipse plug-in will be installed to make it easy to enable/disable the Tomcat server from within eclipse.

13 When you execute Eclipse for the first time you must select a workspace where all your saved projects will be stored. Check Use this as the default and do not ask again checkbox in order to make this the default location and not receive any more notifications. Now the Sysdeo Tomcat Eclipse plug-in will be installed to make it easy to enable/disable the Tomcat server from within eclipse. The installation of the plug-in does not differ from other Eclipse plug-ins: After downloading the plug-in from or search for the plug-in from the eclipse website. Unzip and place the com.sysdeo.eclipse.tomcat_x.x.x (where x.x.x represents the version number) folder into the Eclipse's "plug-ins" directory, and start Eclipse. Verify that the plug-in has

been installed by selecting from the menu bar Help About Installation Details then select the Plug-ins tab and look for the following entry shown in the picture below: Eclipse normally uses a Java

14 been installed by selecting from the menu bar Help About Installation Details then select the Plug-ins tab and look for the following entry shown in the picture below: Eclipse normally uses a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and not a full Java Development Kit (JDK), but Tomcat must have access to a JDK. You should, therefore, first define a JDK for Tomcat. From the menu bar select Window Preferences Java and select the Installed JREs tab by clicking on the left hand side of the Java tab:

15 As you can see only a JRE is available. Press the "Add..." button to add a JDK to the list. Select Standard VM and press the "Next" button:

16 Select the Directory button to specify the path to find the JDK that we downloaded. When this is complete everything about the JDK will be filled in automatically so select Finish to complete the addition.

17 Now uncheck the JRE and check the newly added JDK that was added.

18 Select OK and restart Eclipse to confirm the changes. You should now tell the plug-in where your Tomcat system is located. From the menu bar select Window Preferences Tomcat and select Tomcat version number to be Version 5.x Tomcat home (this automatically sets the configuration file) to be Directory path where you installed Tomcat\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 or if you used the default path provided by Tomcat then the path would be C:\Progam Files\Tomcat\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 Now select Apply to confirm the changes.

$where you installed Tomcat\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 or if you used the default path provided by Tomcat then the path would be C:\Progam Files\Tomcat\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5. Now select Apply to confirm the changes.$

19 Still within the Preference tab expand the Tomcat tab by clicking on the left hand side of the tab and within the Tomcat base indicate the path where Tomcat is to be located at either Directory path where you installed Tomcat\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 or if you used the default path provided by Tomcat then the path would be C:\Progam Files\Tomcat\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5. Now select Apply to confirm the changes.

20 Now select the JVM Setting within the Tomcat tab and select from the drop down menu for JRE to be the JDK that we added earlier. Now select Apply to confirm the changes and then select OK.

21 You do not need to complete the Tomcat Manager App as this was already specified during the installation of Apache Tomcat. However, if you are not able to login to the Apache Tomcat Manager which is shown later in this section, then you may return to Tomcat Manager App and fill in a username and password to gain access. Select OK to exit the Preferences window. Tomcat can be activated and deactivated either inside or outside of Eclipse. The advantage of controlling this functionality through Eclipse is to utilize Eclipse s debugging features. Therefore, it is very beneficial to use the Sysdeo plug-in and the following step will indicate how to setup and test the plug-in. After installing the Sysdeo plug-in the following menu should have appeared in the menu bar and new icons should have appeared in the tool bar:

If this is not the case, then to add these changes to the menu and tool bar go to Window Customize Perspective and the following window will be presented: In the Tool Bar Visibility tab within Tool

22 If this is not the case, then to add these changes to the menu and tool bar go to Window Customize Perspective and the following window will be presented: In the Tool Bar Visibility tab within Tool Bar Structure make sure the Tomcat field has a check mark inside the box as shown in the figure above. Selecting the Menu Visibility tab, within the Menu Structure make sure the Tomcat field has a check mark inside the box:

23 Selecting the Command Groups Availability tab, within the Available command groups make sure the Tomcat field has a check mark inside the box and then select OK to exit:

24 Now it is time to test the Sysdeo plug-in and verify that Tomcat can be enabled and disable through Eclipse.
