Standalone Client

The uf101c client software can be used to submit jobs to UnForm from anywhere on your network after the server is installed and operating.   The client software is automatically installed on the same machine as the server, so jobs can be submitted locally.  However, you can install the client software on any network computer.  Any client can talk to any server, so you can mix and match different operating systems as you need.  For example, you could install the Windows server, and have both Windows and UNIX clients submit jobs to it.

Clients must be installed on any machine that will be submitting jobs to UnForm.  For example, in a Windows network, with the UnForm server installed on a single network server, each workstation that will be submitting jobs must have a client installed and configured to communicate with that server.

The UNIX client is installed from the file uf101c_tar.Z, while the Windows client installer is called uf101c_setup.exe.

The UNIX install steps are as follows:

•Ensure the system has Perl level 5.6 or higher: perl –v
If not, Perl can be obtained from http://perl.com or http://cpan.org.

•Create a directory for the client, such as mkdir /opt/uf101c

•Set permissions on that directory: chmod 777 /opt/uf101c

•Copy the uf101c_tar.Z file to that directory and cd to that directory

•Uncompress the file: uncompress uf101c_tar.Z.  If you have gzip, then the gunzip utility can also uncompress the file.

•Extract the files: tar xvf uf101c_tar

•Run the setup script: ./ufcsetup.sh

•Edit the uf101c.ini file located in the install path to set up the client configuration.
