SICS 21.3

No changes # No technical changes in release 21.3.

Introduction

The SICS Java Launcher is a standalone Java application which can be used for distributing a centrally installed version of DXC SICS to a ’local’ folder. The benefits are: Users do not hold file locks on the central installation. Therefore, it will be possible to replace the central installation with a newer version of SICS. Depending on network configuration, it may be faster to start SICS from the ’local’ folder, once the SICS runtime has been copied to this folder. ...

Installation

Installing the SICS Java Launcher is a matter of extracting the SicsJavaLauncher.zip file to a suitable location and making the relevant configuration settings in the /conf/SicsJavaLauncher.ini file.
