Starting the ConceptBase User Interface

Clients can communicate with a server through the ConceptBase Usage Environment. The interface contains several tools which can be invoked from the so-called ConceptBase Workbench. Start the Usage Environment by by starting

$CB_HOME/bin/CBinterface

or

$CB_HOME/bin/CBjavaInterface[.bat]

After a few seconds a window will appear which is titled ``CBIva - ConceptBase User Interface in Java''. It consists of a main window and a statusline and offers several function keys and menu-items. A complete description of these menus is given in the User Manual.

Exercise 2.2
Try to establish a connection between the CBworkbench and the server you have started under 2.1

After the connection is established the first field of the statusline contains the status "connected".
