The suite on a
Linux platform can work in networking environement.
The under lying idea is to create some work stations (selling stations)
with limited access that can rely on the same database.
The so called Selling stations,
will be able to:
- Create a new Customer data.
- Create delivery documents.
- Search and select in the Stock database.
Network setup:
1) Create a NFS server and install the Suite in local
mode.
2) On the Selling stations install the Suite also in
local mode. Then create a 'clients_nfs' directory
in the $HOME of each station. These directories must be linked to the
NFS server to the $HOME/clients
one. This should be defined in /etc/fstab
and /etc/export files ( Please refer to the NFS Howto's ). When
the 'clients_nfs'
on the station is mounted you can turn the Suite in network mode.
For Windows, install the program on a 'server' machine and give the server's data directory
to the other clients machines via the menu(Parametres).
Ensure access permission for the clients machines.
Activate the networking via the clients machines options menu.
Attention, the data are not protected.
