CEMDPS Disconnected Client Installation Instructions
This document contains installation and setup instructions for the CEMDPS Disconnected Client Application.
The CEMDPS Disconnected Client Application is a web application deployed on Apache Tomcat server version 1.1.1.3. It also contains Sun JDK version 1.4.1. The database used for the client application is Microsoft Access. The client application is accessed using Internet Explorer.
Requirements of the CEMDPS Disconnected Client
Before using the CEMDPS Disconnected Client you must have the following:
• A DEP Greenport account (username and password) and assigned access to the CEMDPS Online application.
• The ability to extract files from a zip file onto your local computer.
Initial Setup of the Disconnected Client Application
Step 1 – Installing the Disconnected Client Application
The disconnected client application is contained in a zip file called cemdps_client.zip. This file will be made available to you through download from a DEP website or by receiving it on a CD or DVD. Once in possession of this file, it will be copied and unzipped to a location your local computer where you want the application to run from. You must have a file archive and compression utility (or zip utility) for Microsoft Windows (WinZip, PKZip, etc.) in order to install the application.
To copy and extract the disconnected client application:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the downloaded cemdps_client.zip file and extract the contents to an installation folder on your hard drive (Recommended installation folder: C:\Program Files). The extraction creates a folder called cemdps_client underneath the installation folder.
Step 2 – Downloading Configuration and Code Files
Note: You must have a valid DEP Greenport account and access to the CEMDPS Online application prior to initiating this step.
Contact the Continuous Emission Monitoring Section (Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Source Testing and Monitoring) if you do not have a valid Greenport account and wish to begin using the CEMDPS Disconnected Client application.
To start using the disconnected client application, the application needs:
• The current configuration of the facility, which is stored and maintained on the DEP server in the CEMDPS Online application.
• The internal DEP codes, which are also stored and maintained in the DEP server.
The process of downloading these files and updating your client application is called synchronization.
To download the most recent configuration and code files from the DEP server:

Synchronizing the Disconnected Client Application
After the initial setup of the client application, you must periodically synchronize the application with the CEMDPS online application as internal DEP codes and your facility’s configuration changes. Specifically, perform a synchronization when:
• Your request for changes to your facility’s configuration has been approved or certified by DEP (e.g.: addition of a new CEMS)
The sections of this document entitled Step 2 – Downloading Configuration and Code Files and Step 3 – Starting and Synchronizing the Disconnected Client Application contain the procedures for downloading the latest internal DEP codes file and configuration file from the online CEMDPS system and applying them to your disconnected application.
General Notes on using the Disconnected Client Application
1. Using the Disconnected Client application to process multiple facilities.
The Disconnected client is limited to processing configuration and report data for one facility at a time.
In the situation where multiple facilities need to be processed, a second Disconnected Client application should be installed on the local hard drive.
Use facility specific folder names under the Program Files folder on the C:\ drive when installing the application for multiple facilities.
2. Installing new versions of the Disconnected Client application.
Current work on a monitoring plan or quarterly report data must be uploaded to the CEMDPS Online system before installing a new version of the Disconnected Client application.
When a new version of the application is installed the database is refreshed back to empty. Data that existed before the upgrade will be purged.
Depending on the nature of the upgrade, the database can be moved to a safe location before the upgrade and moved back to the cemdps_client folder after the upgrade.
3. The Disconnected Client does not support the attaching of supporting documentation files.
If it is necessary to provide DEP with supporting documentation, these files should be uploaded to the CEMDPS Online system after uploading monitoring plan or report data that was generated using the Disconnected Client.
