Installing and Configuring SAND CDBMS

Installing SAND CDBMS Client Programs for Windows Only

To begin installing SAND CDBMS client programs for Windows (SAND Analytic Explorer, ndlm, and SAND Enterprise Manager) onto a Windows system, insert the SAND CDBMS CD-ROM into the client system's CD-ROM drive, and run the setup program in the root directory. Then follow the instructions provided by the Installation Wizard. To install the client components only, select the CLIENT install option.

To install the SAND CDBMS client programs from the command line, execute the following command:

msiexec /q /i "x:\SAND CDBMS.msi" INSTALLLEVEL=40 NO_UI="1"

where:

• x: is the drive/path location of the SAND CDBMS installation files. Normally, this will point to the installation CD.

By default, program files and a sample client-side nucleus.ini file are installed in the "C:\Program Files\Sand" directory.

The Nucleus ODBC driver for Windows clients is installed by default.

For information about using SAND Analytic Explorer to connect to a database instance, consult the SAND Analytic Explorer help.

For information about using SAND Enterprise Manager to connect to the SAND Enterprise Service on the host computer, consult the SAND Enterprise Manager help.

Setting Up the nucleus.ini File

In order to connect to a database instance with a client program such as SAND Analytic Explorer or the SAND CDBMS Data Loader (ndlm), the appropriate entries must be present in the nucleus.ini file. When connecting to a database instance from a remote client on a network, a client-side nucleus.ini file is required. This file must contain a [CONNECTION connection-name] section that matches the appropriate CONNECTION section in the server-side nucleus.ini file (that is, connection-name, Host name, and Port number must be identical).

Note:
SAND Enterprise Manager and SAND Analytic Explorer automatically write entries to the nucleus.ini file as required.
