Creating a Thick-Client Administrator or Super Administrator on a PC

Introduction

This topic describes how to create a thick client or Super administrator workstation on a PC.

Procedure: Setting up an Administrator or Super administrator workstation

Follow these steps to set up an Administrator or Super administrator workstation on a PC:

1. Use Installer to install the client and server components of a Super administrator workstation.

   Note: This installation creates a directory structure, a set of configuration files, a set of shell databases, and a Super administrator personal database for use by the Super administrator.

2. Start the system using thin client mode.

3. If you are configuring a thick-client Administrator workstation, use Installer and the Financial Analyzer User Maintenance features to install and set up an Administrator workstation.

4. Install a thick-client Budget workstation on the PC, naming the new personal database the same name as the personal database that you are moving.

   Performing this step places a code database, which is necessary for a thick-client installation, on the PC. It also installs a system configuration file in the same directory.

5. Move the personal database that you created in Step 1 to the directory where the personal database for the thick-client Budget workstation is located.

6. If configuring an Administrator workstation, edit the ofasyscf.cfg file on the PC and update the [Super] section with the information contained in the [Super] section of the corresponding ofasyscf.cfg file in the shared directory of the Administrator component.
