Installing and Setting Up Bolero

Installing Bolero

In this stage, you will install the Bolero application. If you do not already have Butler SQL and Tango installed, see Stage 1 or Stage 2 for details on installing these applications. Remember that the Butler SQL server included with Bolero is customized for usage with Bolero only.

Install Bolero onto the machine that will function as the Bolero server. Before running the installer, open any Read Me files to see any last minute instructions regarding the installation of Bolero.

Insert the Bolero CD into your CD-ROM drive.

Double click the Bolero Installer.

The Bolero splash screen is displayed.



We strongly recommend that you do not install Bolero on the same machine as your WebSTAR server. Bolero may be installed on the Butler SQL server, but best performance will be achieved when running Bolero on a machine that is not running WebSTAR or Butler SQL.

Click Continue... on the Bolero splash screen.

The welcome window is displayed.

This window provides some basic information on Bolero's installation and default tables. You can read it now or wait until Bolero is installed and read the Read Me file in the Bolero folder.

Click Continue.

The main Install screen is displayed.

To change the desired disk for installation, click Switch Disk.

You can also choose from the Install Location pop-up menu to specify a folder for the installation.

Click Install.

This will install all of the necessary Bolero components.

Before the installation begins, a dialog box is displayed:

Click Continue.

After the installation is complete, a dialog box is displayed reminding you that your computer will need to be restarted before you can use the software.



If you want to perform additional installations, click Continue. You will be returned to the main Install window.

Ensure that MacTCP (or TCP/IP if you are using Open Transport) is configured and running on the Bolero server.

Bolero requires a properly configured TCP/IP network connection in order to determine a domain name from user IP addresses.

Ensure that Program Linking has been enabled on the Bolero Server and on the WebSTAR server(s).

To set up Program Linking, select Sharing Setup from the control panels folder.

The Sharing Setup control panel is displayed.

Click Start in the Program Linking section. Close the Sharing Setup window.

You have now installed the Bolero application and all related components.

Continue the installation with Stage 4-Setting up the ODBC Data Source.

If you already know how to set up an ODBC data source named 'Bolero', go to
Stage 5-Minimal Configuration of the Bolero Settings file.
