Installation Tips and Recommendations
ConsoleWorks supports customizing an invocation's templates. Each invocation has its own directory and subdirectories. The original templates created during installation are located in the Config subdirectory under the installation directory specified during the installation process. For Windows NT/2000, the default is C:\Program Files\TECSys Development, Inc\ConsoleWorks Server\Config.
An installer intending to use the same modifications to the templates across several invocations could save significant effort by editing the templates made during the original installation, make the modifications to the ConsoleWorks root directory templates. This may be especially useful when the HTML templates are modified with company specific data, company policy comments or HTML jumps to company specific files (such as networked documentation).
Each invocation opens all of its device consoles when it is invoked, therefore the installer should make sure invocations expected to run concurrently do not attempt to access the same devices.
Special Note for Polycenter Console Manager (PCM) owners
ConsoleWorks comes with an array of predefined scans/events, many exported from PCM. These events can be imported during the installation process or later. The procedures for importing the events for are in the chapter on Installation in the Adding Functionality section.
