Review
the following precautions and list of required permissions before
you install SPD Server:
-
SPD Server is compatible with the
Microsoft Win32 API. SPD Server 4.5 runs on computers using Windows
NT, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 2000 operating environments.
-
You need Write access to your server
machine's
\etc\services file if you
want SPD Server clients to connect to the SPD Server host using name
services instead of specifying port numbers at invocation. Name services
require you to define registered ports that will use the services
file appropriate to your machine.
-
If your SPD Server clients access
the SPD Server host using name services instead of specifying port
numbers, you need Write access to the services files on the clients
in the path
C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services.
-
Insert the WORKPATH= server option
in your
spdsserv.parm file. Use the WORKPATH=
option to configure your server to use a high-performance file system.
Ideally, this system has a RAID-structured volume with sufficient
disk space to accommodate the transient storage needs for SPD Server.
The
spdsserv.parm file is located in the
InstallDir\DOWN directory of your SPD Server host
installation.
