Workstation
Installation Steps
Most often BusinessPlus is not installed locally on client workstations. However, BusinessPlus has several "tools" that can be installed locally on Windows workstation class operating systems. These tools can be used for CDD report creation, Workflow model creation, and other common tasks.
A local installation provides the fastest load times but can also present challenges if there are a large number of workstations. To alleviate issues, use the network installation option and the AutoUpdate feature.
On the Installation Validation screen, enter your installation code and installation key to unlock your products, then select the PC products to install:
- Admin Console
- Click, Drag and Drill
- Documents Online
- ELF
- Workflow Designer
The Selected Applications screen displays an overview of all products that will be installed. If any Service Packs are needed for Windows or any update to IE is needed, they will be displayed here and will be launched automatically. Generally, a Windows Service Pack or IE update will require a reboot. You will be prompted for this if necessary.
Next, enter configuration settings:
- Select the installation type. "Local Install" is the common install type. This will install all the files on the local workstation. "Network Client Install" can be used to share a common set of files between multiple machines. See Network Install for details.
- Select a destination directory. Under the path selected, multiple directories will be created and files will be installed.
- Enter data source information to connect to the BusinessPlus syscat catalog database.
- If needed, select Document Capture to install the scanning capabilities of Documents Online.
Select the Next button on the Ready to Install screen to begin the installation.
