Deployment	Configuration Steps during installation
Agile PLM application server and File Manager on one machine	Select the AutoVue server and AutoVue client libraries check box in the Choose Install Component(s) window.
Agile PLM application server and File Manager on different machines	Install AutoVue server and AutoVue client libraries separately. Client libraries should be installed on any machine that has a File Manager as well as on the standalone application server or the admin server if in a cluster. The AutoVue Server should be installed on all machines having a File Manager.

Installation Checklist

To install the AutoVue for Agile PLM solution:

Note:

Stop all the Agile Application Servers and File Managers before installing the AutoVue Client Libraries.

On a machine with only the Agile PLM application server installed in AGILE_HOME, run the AutoVue for Agile PLM installer and then select AutoVue Client Libraries check box from the Choose Install Component (s) window. The AutoVue Server is always installed with all File Managers only.

Note:

If running the AutoVue for Agile PLM installer on a machine with the Agile PLM application server and/or File Manager installed then the "AutoVue client libraries" component will be displayed and is selected by default. The "AutoVue Server" component is always displayed and selected by default.

On a machine with only the File Manager installed in AGILE_HOME or with both the application server and File Manager installed in AGILE_HOME, run the AutoVue for Agile PLM installer and then select AutoVue Server and AutoVue Client Libraries check box from the Choose Install Component (s) window.
On a machine designated for only the AutoVue server (that is, there is no AGILE_HOME folder installed), run the AutoVue for Agile PLM installer and install only the AutoVue server.
After installation, remember to redeploy your File Manager and run the MetaFilesRemover utility.
