This guide provides step by step instructions on how to install the ODMS for Administrator components to the server for an ODMS Workgroup mode setup. This will cover the following topics:
- Repository Setup
- Repository Service
- System Configuration Program
- License Manager
Depending on the network configuration and preference, there are two methods for installing the SCP.
Method 1 – Repository Service
The repository service runs as a Windows Service. All users accessing the ODMS repository will connect via the repository service, rather than directly to a shared folder. This method should be used when the repository location does not have full permissions for the ODMS users.
Method 2 – Shared Folder
Creating the repository in a shared folder will allow ODMS users to retrieve the software settings from the network directly. This method should only be used when users have full access to the shared folder.
If you have chosen Method 1 please follow the next steps for installation the Repository service. If you have chosen Method 2 then create a folder in a shared location and name it Repository then skip to the SCP installation.
