This installation copies the software to a network server directory that is accessible to all workstations using SpecsIntact. Workstation installations must then be performed through the network server. This option requires approximately 56MBs of hard drive space on the server, in addition to 16KBs hard drive space on each workstation. This space requirement is for software only, and Jobs will require additional space.
Assigning Rights and Privileges (Network Installation)
For Working Directory
-
It is necessary to have access to different files at different times within the Working Directory. Therefore, the network administrator should assign each network user the rights to the Specsintact folder (or any other folder selected for installation).
For Software Directory
-
The Templates folder requires the same rights and privileges as the Working Directory to accommodate the Templates and Comment Archive (1620) folders. For a Local or Workstation installation, the Templates folder is initially installed to the Software Directory. As soon as you run SpecsIntact and establish the default Working Directory, the Template folder will be moved to the default Working Directory.
Installing to a server only
copies the SpecsIntact and Setup software to a network location. No registry
settings are altered, no .ini files are created, and no .dll files are
over-written.
If a previous installation is detected during the network
installation, a comparison is made between the files that exist in that
directory and the files being installed. If Setup determines that essential
files have been modified during the new installation, you will receive
a warning message indicating that you need to perform a new installation
on the workstations as well. If you do not receive this warning, no workstation
installation is necessary.
