To Create a Database, Help, or Icon Server

1. Provide the operating system network configurations required by the desktop.

   See Configuring Base Operating System Networking for the Desktop.

2. Provide the general desktop configuration required for clients.

   See To Configure Desktop Clients and Servers.

3. Install the database, help, or icon files.

   The files can be located anywhere on the system. However, it may be easier to use the following locations, since these are the directories automatically searched when a system has been designated an application server.

   • Database files: /etc/dt/appconfig/types/language

   • Help files: /etc/dt/appconfig/help/language

   • Icon files: /etc/dt/appconfig/icons/language

     If you are setting up a database server, the actions must be written to specify where their commands (EXEC_STRINGs) will run. See Specifying a Remote Execution Host.
