you can install the evaluation software on.
Do I have to
have Windows NT or Windows 2000 to run LibrarySvr?
No.LibrarySvr runs on Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows
2000.Its your
decision as to which operating system you deploy LibrarySvr on.You can deploy LibraryCard and LibrarySvr on any mix of these
operating systems.
What
operating systems does Librarian run on?

Why do I get
an error when installing on Windows NT or Windows 2000?
The install
program will fail if you attempt to install the applications on
Windows NT or Windows 2000 if you are logged on using an account
that does not have sufficient privilege to install software.Before running the install program make sure you are
logged on using an account with administrative privileges.If you are unsure, consult your systems administrator or
your Windows NT or Windows 2000 user manual.
Why don't I
see anything in the list when I click on Visit Library?
There
are two reasons why this might happen.
The
first reason is the most common.Before you can Visit Library you must first have a valid
Library Card certificate issued to you by LibrarySvr.See the LibrarySvr on-line help system for details on how
to set-up users and create Library Card Certificates.Once LibrarySvr has issued a certificate for you, you
must then import the certificate into your LibraryCard
application.You
will find the "Import Certificate" facility on the
"Library" menu.On-line
help is available in LibraryCard for this operation.
The
second reason is that you are not logged on to your computer or
domain with the user account that you were using when you
imported your Library Card Certificate.You must use the same account that you were using when
you imported your Library Card Certificate.If you wish to continue using this account you can
proceed by getting a new Library Card Certificate from
LibrarySvr and importing it into LibraryCard.Once you do this, the certificate on the original account is
automatically invalidated.
The evaluation license expires when I run LibraryCard and LibraryCardPublisher for the first time. What could be wrong?
We have tracked down
and repaired a bug in the InstallShield installation script that was
causing immediate expiration of the evaluation license. If you
experience this problem then please follow this workaround.
Go to the directory in which you have installed Librarian. You will
find a subdirectory called LibraryCard. Delete the LibraryCard
subdirectory. Run the install program again. Proceed to the third
dialog box that displays your user name and the evaluation license code.
Click here for a valid evaluation
license code. Type the new evaluation code into the dialog box and
proceed with the installation as normal.
How do I
create a backup of my library?
All of the
documents and projects that you add to the library are stored
under the root path for the library.See the on-line help for Set Root Path.LibrarySvr only uses flat files for storing your
documents and the indexes that LibrarySvr itself maintains.This facilitates easy backup of the library as there are
no third-party databases involved.
Begin
the process by ensuring that all LibraryCard clients are logged
off.Ask all users
to exit from LibraryCard.
Exit from LibrarySvr.(On-line backups are not supported yet).
Use
your backup application to create a backup of the root folder
and all of its contents and sub-folders.You can use a combination of full backups and incremental
backups.See your
backup application user manual for details of backup strategies.
Where does
LibraryCard store backups of my documents?
When you
retrieve a document from the library, LibraryCard gives you the
option of backing up the documents that are already on your
local disk.Backed
up documents are copied to a location called the backup root
path.You can find
out where this is by invoking the option to retrieve a document
from the library.A
dialog box is displayed.The
backup root path is shown at the bottom of the dialog box.
Your document
is copied into a sub-folder of the root path.The root path holds a hierarchy of sub-folders that
correspond to the library project hierarchy.Locate the correct sub-folder in the hierarchy.There you will find one or more sub-folders with names
like LSRiNameHi1Lo9999.These
unusually named folders correspond to the internal name of the
library project designated by the LibrarySvr application.If there is only one of these folders then that folder
contains your backed up document.If there are several of these folders then you have to do
a bit of investigation work to determine which one holds the
documents you are looking for.Go to LibraryCard and hold the mouse over the project
that you are working with.After a few moments the tip window is displayed.Quickly move the mouse onto the window before it
disappears.Click on the tip window.A new tip window is displayed which shows the internal
name of the project.Take
a note of the internal name.Go back to your folder in the backup root path.You will find that the name of one of the folders
corresponds to the internal name.This is the folder that contains your backed up local
documents.
How do I
synchronize the library project list?

node in the library project list.Double-click with the right mouse button.
How do I
synchronize the library project document list?
Select the
project that you want to synchronize.Double-click with the right mouse button.
I can't
visit the Libary. What could be wrong?
LibraryCard and
LibraryCardPublisher use TCP/IP sockets to communicate with
LibrarySvr. You must ensure that TCP/IP is installed on
your computer, otherwise the Librarian applications will not be
able to communicate with each other. See the
ReadMe.txt document that comes with the download and CD.
