By default Mill7 will be installed on C:\Mill7. For network installations you can move the Mill7 folder to a mapped share, F:\Mill7 for instance.
Installation Network
Mill7 is installed with a DataFlex embedded database by default.
Registry settings
On a Windows server, additional settings must be made in the registry of the server where the database is installed.
These settings apply to DataFlex embedded databases only, not to SQL databases.
Please read the white paper on disabling Opportunistic Locking on Windows servers: ftp://ftp.dataaccess.com/pub/misc/whitepapers/opportunlockingreadcaching.html.
IMPORTANT!!!!!:
- The database may not work correctly in multi-user environment without these settings.
- When the database is moved to another server, the registry settings mentioned above must be applied to the new server.
Rights
A number of sub folders are located in the Mill7 folder: Data, Comp, Programs, Prog12, Prog16, Prog17, Prog19, Prog20, Reports.
Users must be granted full access to the sub folders Data, Comp, Reports\Custom to be able to read and write to files and folders.
On the users local or remote desktop a shortcut can be created targeting Mill7.exe in the network folder, for example: F:\Mill7\Prog20\Mill7.exe.
Virus scanner
Virus scanners can seriously slow down Mill7 operations due to scanning activities on the databases.
Please exclude the folders containing the data (Data and Comp) from the scope of a virus scanners.
Backups
To prevent backup failures the backup of Mill7 databases should only be performed when the database files are not in use.
Copying or backing up database files while people are working will seriously reduce the database performance.
Local files
After Mill7 is started the Help documentation and translations, are copied to the user/temp directory.
These files need to be installed locally in order to open correctly.
By default, the Mill7 help information will be opened in the users preferred web browser.
With the setting 'Use old help system', the Compiled HTML help file (CHM) will be used instead of the web help.
Opening the CHM file on a network drive could require additional registry settings in windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358/en-us
