Installation and Configuration

1. Amanda must be installed in c:\csdc\
   
   
2. amanda.exe must be in c:\csdc\amanda43\
   
   
3. amanda.ini must also be in c:\csdc\amanda43\ and it reads:
   
   

   Base	Additional for OnXSpatial
   [amanda] -dbms=Trace MSS dbms=MSS Microsoft SQL Server servername=PATRIOT userid= userpassword= database=AMANDA_Production -database=AMANDA_Development -database=AMANDA_Training toolbar=expert CacheDosPath=C:\Temp\ CacheAllDddw=yes DDEServerApplication=CSDC DDEServerTopic=IBCS HelpFile = W:\Online\help\output\wwhelp.htm	GISClientApplication=OLE GISClientTopic=OnXSpatial GISPropertyColumn=PropGISId1 GISPropertyArea=PropGisArea GISBufferWidth=100.00 GISSendSelectedFile=c:/temp/onxspatial.txt GISLayerName=Parcels GISLayerID=Roll GISColumnType=STRING

   
   
   A dash is used for commenting out a line.
   
   
4. Create a shortcut to c:\csdc\amanda43\amanda.exe and put it on the Desktop.
   
   
5. Go to the Properties of the shortcut to amanda.exe, add a space and the path\name to the ini file.
   
   For Production:
   C:\CSDC\AMANDA43\amanda.exe C:\CSDC\AMANDA43\amandalive.ini
   
   For Development:
   C:\CSDC\AMANDA43\amanda.exe C:\CSDC\AMANDA43\amandadevelopment.ini
   
   The difference is which database is not commented out with a dash.
