The following diagrams illustrate how the installation might be organised
in various different scenarios..
| a) Single user installation on one machine |
| There is no need to worry about separating administration
and installation directories, and the default installation of all
files in and below the single installation directory will suffice.
It is suggested that the _xx version
suffix of OA_INSTALL_xx is used
in order to keep parallel installations of different releases of
the Oassys Ltd software separate on the machine. |
|
|
| b) A few machines on a small network, each user has their own machine
|
| The top level administration directory can be installed
on a network server, possibly also locating the manuals centrally.
Each user's machine has its own 'installation' directory to give
good performance, but there is no need to manage home or temporary
directories centrally since each user 'owns' their machine.
If network performance is good an alternative would be to install
executables on the central server, meaning that local OA_INSTALL
directories are not required.

| c) Large corporate network |
| There is no need to worry about separating administration
and installation directories, and the default installation of all
files in and below the single installation directory will suffice.
