Choose Your Software Servers

This section is intended to help you choose where to install SoftBench

and where to set up a SoftBench CM server.

SoftBench CM requires a CM server system tomanage its archive ﬁles. If

you have more than one system in a network, you can choose to have

your SoftBench CM server reside on a different system than where

SoftBench is installed.

Choosing Your SoftBench Execution Host

A system on which SoftBench is installed and executes is called a

SoftBench execution host. It is recommended that you install SoftBench

on a standalone workstation with a local display.

Make a list of the systems you have chosen as SoftBench execution hosts.

Check "SoftBench Execution Host" and continue with Checklist A.

You may later customize SoftBench to use a network-distributed

conﬁguration. This is discussed in Chapter 6, “Setting Up

Network-Distributed Operation,” on page 45.
