How to use this help file


Before You Install

See the Readme.hlp file on the Installation CD for information on new features, known issues and other reference information on the IDMDS Explorer.

Before you can install the IDMDS System Administration Tools, do the following in the order shown:

1.	Install IDM Desktop 3.0 onto the PC where you intend to install the IDMDS System Administration Tools, as follows:

To install on a non-server client PC: before you install IDM Desktop, remove any existing sets of IDMDS client library files (DLLs). You can uninstall these files using the Add/Remove Programs tool in the Control Panel. Reboot the PC before reinstalling IDM Desktop.

To install on an IDMDS server: for this release, we recommend you install the IDM Desktop into the default location presented by Setup (C:\Program Files\FileNET\IDM). This ensures that its client library files (DLLs) install automatically into the same location as those for the IDMDS server component (C:\Program Files\FileNET\Shared).

In either case, having IDMDS client library files in multiple locations will restrict you from running IDM Desktop, especially if both locations happen to be included in the Window NT Path variable (as noted in the Environment tab in the System Control Panel tool).

Note: When installing the IDMDS Desktop on the server, it is strongly recommended that you turn off the Application Integration feature. Use the Custom installation option during installation and unclick the listed applications. Application Integration on the server is not supported.

2.	Run the IDM Desktop Configure tool in Start > Programs > FileNET Panagon IDM > Configure to set up access to at least one IDMDS library system.

On the Add Library dialog box, be sure to click the Document Services option and also the Connection button next to the Database Type so that you can supply the correct Port # for the library system’s property (database) server. In a Microsoft SQL Server environment, the default Port # is 1433.

Note: If Configure fails to run, check to see if there are other instances of IDMDS client library files on the PC (for example, search for files named srs3*.dll that are not in the …\Shared directory), and remove them. Also, verify the Port # that you specified for the library system’s property (database) server.

3.	Verify that you can log on to a configured library using IDM Desktop on the PC where you want to install and run the IDMDS System Administration Tools. Since this a new library system, log on using the Admin user name with no password.
