Installing your NEMFuturesUpdater

It should only take you 10-15 minutes to get started, if you have your IT Administrator at hand to provide you with information, and Administrative rights as necessary.

Step 1: Choose which database backend you will be using

The NEMFuturesUpdater supports both MS SQL Server and Oracle as its database server backend. If you do not already have a database server system in place (either MS SQL Server or Oracle), we suggest you obtain the MSDE installation file from Microsoft. You can use this file to install a database server on your local machine, which can then be used to hold all of the data the NEMFuturesUpdater downloads.

Step 2: Download the Installation File for the NEMFuturesUpdater

Go to the following page to download the NEMFuturesUpdater installation file. Save this file to a local drive.

Step 3: Install the NEMFuturesUpdater

Once you have completed Step 2, double-click on the NEMFuturesUpdater installation file you just downloaded. Follow the prompts until the installation is complete.

Step 4: Setup the NEMFuturesUpdater

Now that you have the NEMFuturesUpdater installed on your machine, you will need to provide it with some settings. Click on the Start button, and go to Programs -> global-roam -> NEMFuturesUpdater -> NEMFuturesUpdater. Once the interface has come up, click on File -> Application -> Start.

Licence Setup
When the application starts, you will be prompted for your licence details. Enter the details that d-cyphaTrade supplied you with (you should have a Username and Password). Follow the prompts to select a valid licence for the NEMFuturesUpdater application.

Proxy Setup
You will see the following screen next:

Consult your IT Administrator for the settings to fill out this form.

Database Setup
If you have successfully setup your proxy settings, you will see the following screen now:

It is with this wizard that you will setup where the NEMFuturesUpdater stores all of its data. Click on the "d-CyphaTrade Futures Settlement Database Connection" option in the box on the left, and then click on the "Configure Selected" button. You will see the following screen:

Use the drop down box at the top to select what sort of database server you will be connecting to (you decided this back in Step 1. If you downloaded and installed the MSDE package from Microsoft in Step 1, you need to select the MSSQL option here). Once you have selected the type of server that you will be using, you will need to show the application how to find that server by providing it with a connection string. Click on the "New" button. You will see one of the two following screens (depending on what database type you have selected):

Both of these screens work in a similiar fashion, they are here to help you point the application towards the location of the database. After you have filled out the form, you should test the connection, then select to Install Database button. This button will install all of the necessary tables and triggers to the server you specified. Follow any prompts that come up. Once this has completed, click OK. Continue clicking OK until you get back to the starting screen, which should now look like this:

Click Done.

Service Setup
The only thing remaining to is to set the NEMFuturesUpdater to run as a service. Go to File -> Application -> Stop, and then go to File -> Service -> Start. You should see the same interface as before, except now the NEMFuturesUpdater is running in the background, and will continue to run as long as the computer is on. You can close the interface screen by clicking on the X button in the top right hand corner.
