Starting SnapShot

Caution: Be sure to follow the guidelines in the preceding section of this guide entitled:
Note: You do not have to right click on the SnapShot.exe icon and select Run as administrator. This is because this version of SnapShot.exe is designed to automatically attempt to start with the elevated permissions. If you are not signed into Windows with an administrative account, you will be prompted to enter the credentials for an administrative account.

The SnapShot utility is delivered with the installation of both the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server and the Development Client workstations. It is located in this directory:

<JDE_dep_server_or_dev_client_installation_directory>\System\Bin32

To run the most current version of SnapShot for multiple releases, you must copy the SnapShot.exe program to a directory outside the Deployment Server installation directory. For example, the installation directory might be c:\E920. If you attempt to run SnapShot from within the Deployment Server installation directory (for example, c:\E920) the application will display an error message.

Tip: You can create a shortcut to SnapShot.exe, but you still must copy SnapShot.exe to a location outside the original installation directory where it was delivered.
