Setup - Installation Setup

This is the section allows you to identify the type of AMS installation and the location of AMS on your machine.

• Installation Type - This allows you to set up AMS to operate alone or to share a database among other AMS machines. Choose from the following:
• Stand Alone – Select Stand Alone if you are the only machine running AMS at your location.
• Primary – Select Primary if this machine is the primary AMS machine in a networked environment for your location. This will make your machine the central place that data is stored. Machines installed as a primary should handle database maintenance tasks such as database reorganization, deleting data, performing backup and restore processes, and archiving data.
• Workstation – Select Workstation if this machine is a remote computer in a networked environment that is connected to a centrally installed primary AMS machine. The data path will need to point to a common shared path as set up by your network administrator.
• Data Path - This path tells AMS where to find its data. This path is dependent upon the choice you made in the Installation Type field.
• If you chose Stand Alone, your Data Path should point to the location where AMS was originally installed on this machine. The default is typically C:\Users\Public\AMSTAC\LocalData.
• If you chose Primary, your Data Path should point to the location where AMS was originally installed on this machine. The default is typically C:\Users\Public\AMSTAC\LocalData. This may also be a location on a shared network drive.
• If you chose Workstation, your Data Path should point to the location of AMS on the primary AMS machine. Please check with your network administrator for the exact path. Ensure that you are able to see all of the same data from the secondary machine that you can see when sitting at the primary machine.

Save your changes when done.
