Using the Site Creation Wizard

Vector Asset Management uses one or more Site databases to store the data collected from Clients, and to contain information on jobs, operations, application definitions and job log files. Use the Site Creation Wizard to create a new Microsoft Access, SQL Server, or Oracle database, and to set up a Vector AM Site.

The Wizard contains the following dialogs:

Site Creation Mode

Name the Site database and to choose whether you want to create an evaluation Site with default settings, or a production Site with your own settings.

Database Type

Specify the format for your Site database.

Site Creation Options

Choose whether to create a new Site, or to link to or copy an existing Site.

Database Configuration

Specify the access settings for the Site database.

Offline Area and Client Kit

Create or select an offline area for the Site, and specify the account with which the Vector AM Client can access offline area.

User Prompting

Customize the questions that users are asked when the Vector AM Client is deployed to their PCs.

Client Deployment

Choose how you want to deploy the Vector AM Client to computers on your network and whether you want to add them to the Console automatically.

Note

Because your selections determine the information needed by the Wizard, all dialogs may not be displayed. For example, if you choose to generate a new Site using the Evaluation options, most dialogs are not shown.
