2-4. Installation Concepts
The following describe the relationships between some of the functional components used by ConsoleWorks.
Understanding the following concepts will:
• assist in designing an installation,
• prepare the installer for the installation and configuration processes, and
• reduce the need for large scale configuration changes and installation redesigns after installation.
Installation Phases
Pre-Installation
The period prior to Installation where the installer collects required software and verifies the host system
meets the requirements for ConsoleWorks installation and operation.
Installation
This phase includes the steps involving installing the ConsoleWorks
application on the target host, setting up a basic invocation, add-
ing ConsoleWorks to the system startup and selectively adding pre-
packaged event definitions.
ConsoleWorks invocations are highly configurable. During the in-
stallation phase the installer is presented opportunities to edit files
that will be used globally by each invocation, such as event tem-
plate files. Most of these changes can also be made later.
