Manual TP Install (Multiple Oracle Homes)

Before you begin ...

The user should have a DaFIS User Account
Verify that the system meets the Hardware and Software requirements
Verify that the Q Drive is mapped
Confirm that you have at least 250 MB free disk space on the computer, in order to run the installer

2 Copy the SQLNET.ORA file from Q:\DaFIS\Install\manual\extras\sqlnet.ora to C:\Oracle\DaFIS10g\network\admin. If you selected a different install drive, copy the file to the Oracle network\admin directory on that drive instead.

3 Copy the DaFIS TP shortcuts from the repository at Q:\DaFIS\Install\manual\shortcuts; consider these options when you copy the shortcuts:

The shortcut that most people need is the standard DaFIS icon

If you like, copy the Training icon for practice sessions

If needed, you can also copy the Close, Stage and Test shortcut icons

4 Paste the shortcuts in the desired places on the user's computer. Consider these options when you paste the shortcuts:

Many people find it convenient to have the DaFIS shortcut icon on the desktop

Windows NT/2000/XP: You may want to put the shortcut icon in the desktop folder for All Users, rather than the desktop for the current login

You may want to create a DaFIS TP program group to put DaFIS TP on the Start menu

1 Select Start->Run

2 In the Open field, enter Q:\DaFIS\Test\util\dafis.exe

4 If you receive an error message about a missing CTL3D32.DLL file, copy the file for your version of Windows from the repository at Q:\DaFIS\Install\manual\extras\uniface to your Windows system directory; after copying the file, run dafis.exe again
