CHAPTER 2
Installing the
Workstation
Application
IntelliTrack WMS v7.x operates in a network environment and involves
application and server setup. Before you install the workstation application,
determine the setup type:
• Single Workstation Setup: All components are installed on a single
PC.
• Network Setup: Components are installed on a network. When you
install your application in a network environment, usually the server
and database are installed in a central network location and the individ-
ual workstation applications connect to the data file from the network.
Installation Terms
During workstation application installation, you will come across various
terms. These terms, as they relate to installing IntelliTrack WMS, are
defined below.
• Workstation Application: The IntelliTrack WMS application that
runs on the desktop computer.
• MSDE: The Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine is a “lite” version
of SQL Server 2000. If you are upgrading to the new version and use
MSDE, your system will continue to use MSDE. It is the engine that
runs the WMS database.
• SQL Express: A “lite” version of SQL Serve 2005 that is used to run
the WMS database. If you are a new user and do not have SQL Server-
Full version installed on your system, SQL Express will be installed
during the installation process to run the WMS database.
• SQL Server 2000 or higher: The SQL Server is an application that
runs the WMS database (instead of MSDE or SQL Server Express).
• PC or Machine: Refers to a desktop computer that runs the WMS
application.
