Installing Software on the Interplay Engine Server
36
The database folder is the folder in which the database is created and stored. This location
must be local, that is, the database folder must be installed on the Interplay Engine server.
No other configuration is supported. By default the database folder is created at the root of
the D: drive as D:\Workgroup_Databases. All access rights are set automatically.
If you previously installed the Interplay Engine software, this field displays the share name
that appears in the next dialog box.

If you do not have adequate local storage for your Interplay database, you can store source files
for file assets on a shared storage workspace rather than a local drive. To do this, you must
perform extra steps after the installation. See “Configuring Interplay for a Split Database” in
the Avid Interplay Engine and Avid Interplay Archive Engine Administration Guide.
The Specify Share Name dialog box opens.
8. Accept the default share name and click Next.
By default, the share name is “WG_Database$.” The “$” at the end makes the share invisible
if you browse through the network using Windows Explorer. For security reasons, Avid
recommends keeping the default setting and using a “$” at the end of the share name. With
this default setting, the folder “D:\Workgroup_Databases” on the Avid Interplay Engine
computer is shared under the name “WG_Database$.”
The Specify Configuration Server dialog box opens.
9. Select the Interplay Engine you want to use as the Central Configuration Server and click
Next.
