Answers
Since the version 1.1.6 of KAOS, PDF documentation is no more included into the software package to reduce the download size and increase its speed.
Up-to-date PDF documentation can be viewed or download from the KAOS web page.
In order to define environment variables for your CLI modules KAOS provides you have to configure them in the CLI definition interface.
This will allow you to run your CLI with the configuration needed.
The kaos.user role (see KAOS documentation) will be provided to all the users.
In order to receive additional permission like:
- kaos.service.publisher
- kaos.application.user
the user has to provide additional information (about company and project) to the KEO Operation Team. ESA will evaluate the request at the light of these additional information.
Java Advanced Imaging (JAI 1.1.3 or later).
Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O Tools (JAI Image I/O Tools 1.1) or later.
Note for MacOS X users: JAI and JAI Image I/O Tools extensions are not yet available for mac. However, you can use the jars from the Linux download to get pure java (limited) functionality. Copy them to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/lib/ext/.
The dialog will be displayed when:
- a network problem exists impeding the connection with the server machine;
- a wrong server address is specified for the unreachable server.
The first case requires the network connection (cables, routers, switchers, …) be checked. The second one requires the correct address to be specified in the KAOS’s preferences dialog.
