Understanding the Deployment Server Installation
The Deployment Server is the focus of the Release 9.2 installation process. The installation program for the Deployment Server copies the Release 9.2 software and a language, if applicable, from the installation image to the Deployment Server. From the Deployment Server, the Release 9.2 software is distributed to one or more Development Clients. Since the Deployment Server and Platform Pack have separate Installers, they can be running concurrently which decreases the overall installation time (assuming the Installers are run on different machines).
The Deployment Server installation program updates the Microsoft Windows registry with information about the Release 9.2 installation and languages, if applicable.
New for Tools and Applications Releases for 9.2, the Deployment Server installer no
longer delivers any standard full packages (for example, DV920FA). Further the install
no longer attaches and renames tables for package specs. However, the installer still
delivers the PACKAGE\data
and PACKAGE\datacomp
directories.
