6 Installing and Configuring the RPAS Classic Client

This section describes the installation of the RPAS Classic Client on Windows machines, and describes how to configure the client to connect to a domain.

Make RPAS Classic Client Files Generally Accessible

Perform the following procedure to make the RPAS Classic Client available.

1. Create a directory on the network from where users will install the RPAS Classic Client.

   The location and the name of the directory are up to the system administrator's preferences. This directory is henceforth referred to as the [RPASCLIENT] directory.

2. Copy the files from the following directory on the server:

   [RPAS Installation]/Client

   to the [RPASCLIENT] directory.

Installing the RPAS Classic Client

The RPAS Classic Client installation procedure is the same for all of the RPAS applications. Perform the following procedures to install the application on a PC.

1. Run the setup.exe file located in the [RPASCLIENT] directory on the network.

2. The welcome page displays. Follow the installation procedures as prompted.

   The setup program exits after the installation is complete.

Configuration

After creating an RPAS domain and starting the DomainDaemon (refer to the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Administration Guide for the Classic Client), you must configure the RPAS Classic Client to connect to the domain on a server. The eConfigure utility is used to create this connection.

For information about eConfigure, refer to the eConfigure section in the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Administration Guide for the Classic Client.
