Database
This section discusses Database setup for Remote Link and System Link. For information on
configuring a Link Server database, refer to the Link Server section of this document.
If a Link Administrator is not a Workstation Administrator, then the Link database should not be
located in a system drive, such as C:\ or C:\Program Files. Locating the Link database in a non-system
directory will allow the Link Administrator to manage and move the database without requiring the
assistance of the Workstation Administrator.
The Workstation Administrator should grant Link Administrators and Link Operators full access to the
database folder (and subfolders) and the Link installation folder (and subfolders). This should be done
irrespective of the database location.
Link Server
This section discusses information specific to Link Server. Link Server allows multiple Remote Link
client workstations to use a single database. After Link Server is installed by a Workstation
Administrator, it may be used in day-to-day operation by a Link Operator.
DBISAM Database Server
The primary component that differentiates Link Server from other Link installations is the DBISAM
Database Server, a SQL database service. Once Link Server is installed, the DBISAM Database Server
should start automatically when the workstation is started. A Workstation Administrator can start and
stop the service using the Services tool. A Link Operator should not be able to stop the service. All
Link Operator workstations that run Remote Link must be able to establish a TCP/IP connection to the
DBISAM Database Server address and port.
