The ExtraView Command Line Interface is an optional component. First you must install the recommended version<\/a> of Perl on your computer. The open-source version can be downloaded from www.perl.org, or you may purchase a commercially supported version from www.activestate.com. Install Perl before completing the remainder of these steps.<\/p>\n

Download the CLI from the ExtraView Support site download page. Download the file named evcli_unix.tar<\/span> and expand this file into a folder on your computer from where you will run the CLI.<\/p>\n

If you are upgrading, you may have a folder called evapi<\/span> or evcli<\/span>. The new package will have a version-specific name.<\/p>\n

mkdir $BASE\/perl\/
\ncp $BASE\/apache-tomcat-5.5.25\/webapps\/evj\/WEB-INF\/data\/evcli_unix.tar
\n$BASE\/perl\/evcli
\ncd $BASE\/perl\/
\ntar xvf evcli_unix.tar
\ncd evjXXX_evcli
\nPERL_HOME = $BASE\/ActivePerl-5.8;
\nexport PERL_HOME
\n$PERL_HOME\/bin\/perl -p -i -e “s#\/usr\/local\/bin\/perl#$PERL_HOME\/bin\/perl#” ev*
\nmanifest.pl
\nchmod +x manifest.pl ev*<\/span><\/p>\n

Run the following check to verify that the installation is working as expected. The program goes through each Perl script and verifies that the required Perl modules are installed. If this gives you any errors, please contact ExtraView Support.<\/p>\n

.\/manifest.pl<\/span><\/p>\n

Now configure the file evconfig.txt to connect to your ExtraView installation.<\/p>\n

vi evconfig.txt
\nSERVER = extraview.yourdomain.com\/evj\/ExtraView <\/span><\/p>\n
