1 Client Application Loader (CAL)

The Client Application Loader (CAL) allows seamless distribution, installation, and maintenance of Simphony software from a CAL server to all Simphony client workstations and service hosts. The CAL stores software packages in the transaction database, providing a central storage location. The CAL enables clients to:

• Obtain a list of configured workstations from the CAL servers.

• Establish unique workstation IDs and network configuration (either Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or static Internet Protocol (IP) based on the information received from the CAL server).

See the following topics for more information about CAL and Distributed CAL (DCAL).
