Operating systems supported:

• MS-Windows (tested on 2000 and XP)
• Solaris (2.6 or more recent)
• Linux (kernel 2.2 or more recent)

New in the 6.0 release:

• Upgraded support for Java 1.6.
• Support for RAPID RMA Help files using Java 1.6.

Highlights of new features in previous releases:

• 4.1: Rapid RMA introduced the User's Manual in the online help.

• 5.1: models are now represented through a single model entity rather than separate resource and task graphs.
• 5.2: better support for trace file import and for multiuser environments. Solaris and Linux versions created
• 5.3: spare capacity optimized, object-oriented ROSA analysis, user interface improvements

For installation on MS-Windows, RAPID RMA 6.0 uses an Installshield script which asks the usual questions about what directory to use and so forth. So after downloading the file “RAPIDRMA-6_0_0-WIN.EXE”, just click on it to start the installation. Java runtime 1.6 should be installed prior to installing RAPID RMA.

For installing RAPID RMA 5.3.3 on MS-Windows, RAPID RMA 5.3.3 uses an Installshield script which asks the usual questions about what directory to use and so forth. So after downloading the file “RAPIDRMA-5_3_3-WIN.EXE”, just click on it to start the installation. Java runtime 1.3.1_15 should be installed prior to installing RAPID RMA.

For installation on Solaris and Linux, the distribution is a compressed "tar" file. After un"tar"ing, a short installation shell script needs to be run to create the application invocation shell script.

To run the RAPID RMA program, an electronic license key must be obtained by sending email to license@tripac.com. License keys may be requested in order to evaluate the product.

NOTE: New license keys are required when upgrading to release 6.0 from any prior release. License keys for earlier releases of RAPID RMA (including 5.3) will not work. When you download this release, please request new license keys by sending email to license@tripac.com.

Java JRE (Sun's Java Website)

RAPID RMA and UML RMA require a Java run-time environment (JRE) be installed.

For the current release of RAPID RMA, RAPID RMA 6.0 (standalone for Windows), use Java JRE 1.6. This is available free from Sun Microsystems, Inc. Here are links to Sun's Java website and to a page where you may start downloading the JRE

Use Java JRE 1.3.1_15 (release 1.3 should be upgraded). This is available free from Sun Microsystems, Inc. Here are links to Sun's Java website, and to a page where you may start downloading the JRE.

The Java download pages have moved around a bit in website reorganizations over the years. If you can't find it, try searching for it in Sun's Java website or send us a message at support@tripac.com.

RAPID RMA Floating License Support

Here are the vendor executables to be used in conjunction with the FLEXlm “lmgrd” license manager program. The license manager and a vendor executable are required to serve floating licenses. You only need one of these vendor executables, the one for the platform where the license server will run. It will be able to serve clients on all these platforms.

• Vendor Executable “tripac.exe” for MS-Windows Intel platforms
• Vendor Executable “tripac” for Solaris Sparc platform
• Vendor Executable “tripac” for Linux Intel platforms

The FLEXlm programs, the license manager program “lmgrd” and the support utility programs “lmutil” and “lmtools” (the latter MS-Windows only) can be downloaded from the FLEXlm vendor (formerly Globetrotter, now Macrovision) website. The URL for the page to access the utiltities is

http://www.macrovision.com/services/support/flexlm/lmgrd.shtml.

For the convenience of MS-Windows users, we provide a FLEXlm installation package that includes the license manager program “lmgrd.exe” and the support utility program “lmtools.exe”. If you already have FLEXlm installed, you probably do not want to install this package. If you do install this package, you still need to download the vendor executable “tripac.exe” for the MS-Windows Intel platform.
