Installing online components
You can run all the components of the online system on a single computer or you can use
several computers for an online system. If you are using a multi-user database, you can
designate certain computers as Unload Stations and Viewing Stations, as illustrated in this
diagram. For Emonitor with a single-user database, the Viewing Station, Database Server,
and Unload Station are all on the same computer. This section covers setting up a
multiple-computer Emonitor online system with an Unload Station and a Viewing Station.
For more information on the Emonitor Online system, please refer to the Emonitor Online
Getting Results Guide and the help for the Online Data Management Console (Click Start
> Programs > Rockwell Software > Emonitor > Help > Online Data Management
Console).
Previous versions of Emonitor required that you install different components on different
computers within an Emonitor Online system. This version of Emonitor simplifies the
install process by installing all components to all computers in the Emonitor Online
system.
This section only applies to Emonitor Online systems. If you do not have Emonitor Online, you
can skip this section and go to Setting up Scheduler to automate tasks on page 20.
