SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Users struggle to set up DataPallas correctly and get their first successful report burst running without getting stuck on prerequisite installations or configuration issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided prerequisite installation: Checks Java 17+ and provides an assisted Windows flow via Chocolatey to ensure DataPallas can start successfully.
  • Optional Docker setup for extra apps: Advises when Docker is required for additional DataPallas components (e.g., BI analytics and web portal) while clarifying that core bursting/distribution does not need it.
  • First-success bursting workflow: Walks users through downloading, launching, and bursting the sample Payslips PDF to produce multiple output PDFs using burst tokens (email addresses in curly braces).

FAQPage Schema
How do I install DataPallas and set up Java 17 on Windows?

To install DataPallas on Windows, you need Java 17+ as a prerequisite. This setup guide provides an assisted installation flow using Chocolatey to resolve the Java dependency, followed by downloading, extracting, and launching the DataPallas application.

Can I burst a PDF into separate pages without installing Docker?

Core PDF bursting and distribution in DataPallas does not require Docker. Docker is only needed optionally if you want to set up additional components like BI analytics or the web portal.

What is PDF bursting and how does it work with sample payslips?

PDF bursting splits a multi-page document into multiple output PDFs using burst tokens. In this workflow, you burst the sample Payslips PDF by detecting email addresses in curly braces to produce separate employee PDF files.

Do I need to install Java 17 before running my first PDF burst?

Yes, Java 17 or higher is a mandatory prerequisite before launching DataPallas. The setup process checks your Java version and provides a guided Windows installation path via Chocolatey to ensure the environment is ready.

What are the step-by-step instructions to validate DataPallas PDF bursting?

First, install the Java 17 prerequisite. Then download and extract the DataPallas application, launch it, and run the core bursting workflow on the sample Payslips PDF to verify that it successfully outputs separate PDF files.

Why does DataPallas fail to launch after extraction on Windows?

DataPallas fails to launch on Windows when the Java 17+ prerequisite is missing or misconfigured. Use the provided prerequisite readme and troubleshooting documentation links to resolve Java environment variables and retry the setup.
