Conference Room Scheduler Installation GuideIntroduction

Chapter 1 Introduction

This guide provides specific field entries that need to be made in the process of installing and configuring Conference Room Scheduler. In addition to this guide, use the following manuals for this installation:

•Applications Manager (APM) Installation Manual – Contains step-by-step instructions for installing the software from the release media.

•Applications Manager (APM) Operations Manual – Explains how applications like Conference Room Scheduler are configured in the APM environment, using the entries and values provided in this guide.

•NEAX2400 System Manuals – Give very detailed explanations about the assignments that need to be made through the Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) commands on the NEAX2400.

Briefly, the installation and set up of Conference Room Scheduler involves the following processes:

Software Installation

Conference Room Scheduler software must first be loaded from the release media.

Log in to the APM Platform Management Menu, select the Installation of

Applications/Packages option, and follow the instructions provided in the APM

Installation Manual to complete this part of the installation.

Application Configuration

Conference Room Scheduler is internally supported by the APM and must be configured in the APM environment. Chapter 2 of this guide provides the information that must be entered into this APM configuration file. Conference Room Scheduler is comprised of two components, both of which must be configured. Use the instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries provided in this section.

Database Requirements

Conference Room Scheduler requires two application databases which are constructed and maintained through the APM Database Administration option. For each application database, the process begins with the creation of a master definition file and its related master database. Then, for each, an application definition file is constructed which enables the processing of the master files into an application database. Chapter 3 of this guide defines the information which must be included in these definition and database files. Use the instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries contained in this section.

Note: Conference Room Scheduler maintains a 90-day calendar of room reservations. This 90-day period dynamically rotates so that it always extends from the current day only if Conference Room Scheduler is set to automatically update its data- base on a daily basis. Under Control Options on the APM System Administra- tion menu, use the Database command to select the Conference Room Scheduler database and designate a daily time at which it will be automatically updated.
