Verify the Name Server Port Assignment and TMP Path

After you install SPD Server on your Windows server, you are almost ready to verify your installation. Before you verify, you must be sure that you have assigned a port for your name server, and you have specified a valid path for the temporary LIBNAME domain called TMP.
Note: SPD Server documentation uses InstallDir\ as a placeholder. Any SPD Server configuration files that you must edit are located in the InstallDir\site directory.
Ensure that your Windows server environment meets the following requirements:
  1. During installation, SPD Server creates a sample library parameter file called libnames.parm in InstallDir\samples. Copy the sample libnames.parm file to InstallDir\site. The libnames.parm file contains a LIBNAME domain definition for a temporary workspace called TMP. The TMP library uses the Windows temporary directory C:\TEMP. If your Windows installation does not include a C:\TEMP directory, you need to create the directory or specify an existing directory path to replace C:\TEMP. If you want to use a different path for TMP, you must modify the SPD Server libnames.parm configuration file in InstallDir\site to specify the new TMP domain path.
  2. During installation, SPD Server creates a sample server parameter file called spdsserv.parm, in InstallDir\samples. Copy the sample spdsserv.parm file toInstallDir\site. The spdsserv.parm file contains server parameters. You should use the sample spdsserv.parm file only to verify that SPD Server is running. You should edit your spdsserv.parm file immediately to specify the unique server parameters for your site.
