Installation notes
Installation advice To simplify installation, read the following tips before you begin:
You should give the contents of this software shipment to your system
administrator. Business Objects recommends that our software be installed
only by, or with the approval of, the system administrator.
Although you can install your applications and directories in any order, we
recommend that you install software first and then directories.
If you install on multiple operating systems, check the bottom of the CD label
for the appropriate operating system.
Install on Windows When you insert the software CD, the installation program should start
automatically. If it doesn’t, follow these steps:
1. Access your Windows Start menu and choose Run.
2. In the Run window, type x:\setup (where x is the letter of your CD-ROM
drive) and click OK. The installation program should start.
Install ACE Canada 7.80c in a directory called pw. Be sure to install all
supporting directory files. Run ACE Canada directly from the appropriate
subdirectory, for example, pw\cace or pw\cacelib.
For details, see the System Administrator’s Guide.
Install on UNIX To install, run the UNIX install_console. For more information, see the
System Administrator’s Guide.
Client shortcuts If you have ACE Canada installed on one computer, but you run it from another
computer using client shortcuts, you must refresh your client-side shortcuts by
using the Universal Client installer.
Job users If you use the job-file product, update your job files using the version of
Edjob installed in your pw\adm directory. Here is the general form of the
command line:
