There are three ways to install this software:
- Server installation
- Client Installation,
- Standalone Installation
When you select [Server] during the installation process:
- A database will be created [on that machine]
- An instance of Firebird will be installed [on that machine]
- You will get a prompt that will ask you to print-out or jot-down the location of the data so that you can point clients when installing on clients
- The Hrware.ini file will [point] the software [locally]
When you select [Client] during the installation process:
- You will [point] the software to the database located [on the server]
- An instance of Firebird will [not] be installed [on that machine]
- The Hrware.ini file will [point] the software [on the server]
When you select [Standalone] during the installation process:
- A database will be created [on that machine]
- An instance of Firebird will be installed [on that machine]
- The Hrware.ini file will [point] the software [locally]
Verify whether the software has already been installed as Client or Server/Standalone:
On any machine where you are running Gradience go to C:\ProgramData\Gradience and open the Hrware.ini file. Look at the line [very near the top] that starts with:
SERVER=
Whatever follows the equal sign is the designated machine that is hosting the data.
- If you see the word Localhost it means that the machine you are [at] is the server/standalone.
- If it has a name of a machine, whatever machine is named is the server.
- Although it is rare, you may see an IP address, in which case whatever machine that IP address belongs to [is the server] whether local or otherwise.
