Installing the Client API
The Client API is used to integrate Spectrum™ Technology Platform functionality into your applications. If you will be creating your own program to call Spectrum™ Technology Platform, you need to install the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Client API on the system where you will be developing your application. The Client API allows access to Spectrum™ Technology Platform through several programming languages, including Java, C++, and web services.
To run the Client API install and uninstall procedures, you must have the Spectrum™ Technology Platform-supported version of Java installed on your machine. Add the /jre/bin location to $PATH. If you are installing the Client API on the same machine as Spectrum™ Technology Platform, you can use the version of Java included with Spectrum™ Technology Platform by sourcing the server/bin setup script in your Spectrum™ Technology Platform install location.
