What
is required for installing omnis?
How
does
xxx work?
xxx is developed in a tool called Omnis7 from
Raining
Data (www.omnis.net)
xxx
consists of 3 parts
- The runtime engine.
The runtime engine is Omnis7.exe and all files in
the subdirs from the starting point and below
- The
application. The application is xxx.lbr
- The data.
The data are all files with the extension .df? A segment of a
datafile can be 256Mb and a datafile can be up to 15 segments.
These
parts can be located anywhere in any combination.
There is no
regular installation process for xx since you can copy all necessary
files to where ever you want it and start it with a shortcut
that points
out where the runtime and application are. The only thing to install on
your workstation/Terminal Server are fonts used.
No entries
are written to the registry.
Lbr's and
runtime engines can be copied to several places for load
balancing/redundance reasons but *.df? has to be located on one central
fileserver.
With more than 4-5 users or
bandwith less than 10mb/s we recomend Citrix/Terminal Server
Best
practice Terminal Server/Citrix
Out of experiece vi recommend
that the runtime engine and the application is copied to all
Citrix/Terminal Servers that are being used.
Data should be
located on a file-server connected with at least 100mb/s
This
installation gives best performance with the lowest risk for
disturbances and an acceptable level of administration when
updating/upgrading the application.
Best practice
network
In an ordinariry network we reccomend that everything
is installed on a file-server and that only shortcuts are made on the
workstations.
This gives acceptable performance whith a minor
risk for problems and an easy administration of updates/upgrades.
