Modify The Modify capability is intended to allow you to selectively install or uninstall certain Enterprise Services components. However, this option is inapplicable in the context of an Application Server-only installation, as the only two sub-components are required and cannot be selectively installed. To uninstall Application Server, use the Remove option. Repair Selecting Repair restores files and registry entries to your system. The Repair process compares the files on your machine to its installation files and re-installs any files that are missing, or that have older dates. It also rewrites all required registry entries and restores your shortcuts (i. e. You would perform a Repair as a diagnostic step if you are experiencing unknown system issues, or if you know that certain files have been deleted or corrupted. 16 Planning Application Server Installation Guide Installing Application Server Repairing or Removing Application Server 2 Remove Selecting Remove allows you to uninstall Application Server for this computer. Note that the files associated with the Configuration Manager settings, SRCCONFIG. XML and SRCCONFIG. XML. SIG, are not deleted as part of an uninstall. They will remain in the application directory created when you installed Application Server (default of C:\PROGRAM FILES\SRC SOFTWARE). These files are not deleted in the event you are re-installing Application Server either to the same machine or another machine, and wish to keep your current Configuration Manager settings. If you are installing Application Server on another machine, copy these files to the new directory created on the new machine. If you do not need these Configuration Manager files any longer, you will need to manually delete them and the application directory from your machine. Planning Application Server Installation Guide 17 2 Installing Application Server Repairing or Removing Application Server 18 Planning Application Server Installation Guide Configuring Application Server Planning Configuration Manager is the tool used to configure Application Server. You must configure your system using Configuration Manager before operating Application Server. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the Configuration Manager launches upon the successful completion of an Application Server installation. If you need to launch it manually, choose Start > Programs > Business Objects > Planning > Configuration Manager. (Note: Systems originally installed prior to 10. 71 are located at Start > Programs > SRC Software > Enterprise Services > SRC Configuration Manager. ) The primary goal of the Configuration Manager is to define systems for use with Application Server. The Configuration Manager points to User directories to define systems. For example, if you have implemented BusinessObjects Budgeting and BusinessObjects Forecasting, and they each have a separate User directory, then you must define both as systems in the Configuration Manager. However, if you have licensed BusinessObjects Budgeting and BusinessObjects Payroll Planning, but both application modules utilize the same User directory, then you only have to define one system in the Configuration Manager. Additionally, there are several global parameters that can be set in the Configuration Manager. Note: The Configuration Manager contains several settings and options that are inapplicable to an Application Server-only installation. For a discussion of these settings, see "Unused Settings" on page 29. If you are getting validation errors that do not seem to make sense, it may be that you have inadvertently changed an inapplicable setting. [. . . ] New systems can be added by following the steps outlined in this chapter. Existing systems can be deleted by right-clicking the node name and selecting Delete. Note that if only one system is defined, the Configuration Manager will not allow you to delete that system. Be sure to Save after making any changes. [. . . ]
