This guide describes the programs that are used to install
and configure the Optim™ solution.
The Setup program guides you through the installation process, and
the Configuration program prepares your databases and workstations
to use the solution.
Note: The document is intended for users who work in an Optim directory environment. For
installation and configuration information in an Optim repository environment, refer to the
documentation for the repository environment.
Conceptual Overview
In the simplest configuration, Optim operates as a client application with
all processing taking place directly on the Windows workstation. Unless the database
is installed locally, the appropriate DBMS client software is used
to communicate with the remote database over a network.
Troubleshooting Your Installation
The Optim DVD includes
several utilities that help you troubleshoot your installation and
configuration activities. You run these utilities from the Command
Line Interface.
