Single user installation
Single user installation
The simple installation can be performed by an inexperienced computer user. After downloading, during the first run the application asks few questions, and the default answers are good enough for the application to run.
| Warning! Only one istallation of this kind can be performed in one hospital! It's really ment to be a single installation. If you perform more than one single installations, there will be no synchronization between them. The data entered in one installation will not be visible or accessible in other installations and it will be impossible to import all of the data into the central database! |
If you want or need to use the EACTS Database Software on many computers, perform the Network installation.
Network Installation
If the application is to be used on many computers at the same time, additional tasks need to performed. Most importantly, the local database has to be installed separately. The application uses JDBC database connection, which allows it to use different database engines. The tested database engines are:
- Derby (formerly known as Cloudscape)
- PostgreSQL
Both database engines are Open Source and can be used free of charge. If you want or need to run the database on different database engine, contact Magnum 2 for more information.
The database server installation means, that one of the computers in the network is running all the time and it has the database engine (e.g. PostgreSQL) installed on it. When a user starts the DataCollectionSoftware, it connects to the database server and uses it to read and write data. The server does not have to be a special computer. Common PC with enough resources (RAM memory and disk space) can be used. It just has to be running when DataCollectionSoftware is used.
Qualified personnel is needed to perform the installation of the database server.
For further instructions, see the Network installation.
