1.3.5.6.  PARTapplicationServer - Installation

For distributed installations (client-server and multi-site installations), we recommend setting up the PARTapplicationServer as a separate server or virtual machine.[10]

Special reasons for this are:

  • CADENAS software has to be installed with administration rights. In order not to put already existing software on the server at risk (isolated servers), CADENAS recommends a dedicated server here.

  • In addition performance issues are important: In case of extraordinary frequent queries the server is blocked.

The recommended procedure of software installation is to locally copy $CADENAS - the same as with any client.

[Note]Note

A 64 bit system is recommended.

Only ONE PARTapplicationServer is installed. All clients - no matter at which location - connect to this one PARTapplicationServer.

The environment variable $CADENAS _DATA controls which data directory is used. You can easily see which directory this points to under the Server status dialog page, Environment tab page. See Section 1.3.5.9, “ PARTapplicationServer Dashboard ”.




[10] It is also advisable to install the CADENAS license service on this server. See Setting up an FLM server.
