EDB C/S deployment |

If I send the EDBserver to a customer (no config file-I figure it's self created?) and he lets me know that the server is running on a certain ip/port, and I know nothing about the directory structure of the machine it's running on: -Is it possibe to create a database with EDBmngr that connects to that server from a script (that creates and fill some data)? -Or do I need to know the dir structure? -How do you deploy a C/S solution with EDB?

<< If I send the EDBserver to a customer (no config file-I figure it's self created?) >> There's two things to keep in mind with configuration of the server: 1) The .INI configuration for the server 2) The configuration file itself The .INI contains the information that the server needs in terms of where the configuration file is, etc.: http://www.elevatesoft.com/scripts/manual.dll?action=mantopic&id=edb1sql&category=0&topic=3 The configuration file will automatically be created, if it doesn't exist already. << and he lets me know that the server is running on a certain ip/port, and I know nothing about the directory structure of the machine it's running on: -Is it possibe to create a database with EDBmngr that connects to that server from a script (that creates and fill some data)? >> Yes, but you have to specify a path in relation to the server, so it may be more advisable to do this type of installation on the actual server machine where you can more easily use some simple Delphi function calls to get the proper information for the database directory structure prior to executing the CREATE DATABASE statement(s). Of course, you can also build this type of installation functionality directly into the server itself (edbsrvr.dpr) in order to allow your server to be "self-configuring" when it is first started up. The process to do so would be the same as with the data module in the sample CDCollector application that comes with EDB. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

-Is there a reason why the ini file under Windows is not in the app's dir (like Linux) ? -I the config file is autocreated is the ini file also auto updated ?

<< -Is there a reason why the ini file under Windows is not in the app's dir (like Linux) ? >> MS Vista, with the redirection on the Program Files folders, etc. << -I the config file is autocreated is the ini file also auto updated ? >> No, they are two completely different things. Think of the .INI file as a persistent version of the TEDBEngine properties. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
