Setup: Network Edition:
Installation of Server Only

Important: If you already have Bundle-Track data on another server and want to move that data to a new server, DON'T USE THIS PROCEDURE. Instead, you should ...

1. First update the version of that other database.
2. Then use the Server Relocation Procedure.
    

Also, you should use this procedure only if you are installing only the Bundle-Track Server (database system), not the Client (user interface). (Related procedures: Server and Client, Client Only)

What you will need:

• A login with Administrator privileges on the machine.
• Your Bundle-Track setup package.
  • If you don't already have one, contact support to get one.

Procedure:

1. If there is an older Windows-based version of Bundle-Track installed on the new machine, uninstall it, and then delete the Bundle-Track directory. (You may leave DOS versions if you wish.)
    
2. Start the Bundle-Track installation package.
    
3. If you wish to install into c:\Program Files\Bundle-Track\, accept all default paths presented by the install wizard. Otherwise, on any panel that gives you the option, change the default filepath.
    
4. On the 'Select Components' panel, accept all defaults.
    
5. Confirm that you can open the InterBase Server Manager. Click here for the procedure.
    
   
6. Consider where you want the database to reside. By default, it is installed on this machine, in the .../Bundle-Track/Databases/ directory. If you want to place it elsewhere, do the following:
   1. Open the InterBase Server Manager and make sure it is Stopped (not Running).
   2. Locate your database file - BT30600Prod.gbd - in the Databases directory.
   3. Move the database file to its new location.
       
7. If you have already installed any Bundle-Track Clients ...  
   1. Go to each Client machine and run the Bundle-Track Links utility to prepare/update your database connections.  
   2. Run any Bundle-Track Client to confirm proper operation. (If necessary, troubleshoot.)
       
8. Register the database in IB Console:
   
   1. Start IB Console: >> Programs >> InterBase 6 (the name may be longer) >> IBConsole. 
   2. Register the Server. Click here for the procedure.
   3. Register the database. Click here for the procedure.
       
9. List the Server in its own Hosts file. Click here for the procedure.
    
10. Update your database to the latest version:
    1. Download this .SQL script file: 3-8-40 to 3-8-40p2.sql
       • Right-click the link, select Save Target As, and save it to your desktop.
    2. Run the Script you just downloaded through IB Console.
       • If you don't know how, click here learn, then return.  
    3. Stop and Restart the InterBase Server.
    4. Delete the .sql file from your desktop.
        
       

That's it.
