Agilent ChemStation Plus Method Validation Pack — Installation
The Microsoft Data Access
Components install a layer to
access local databases or central
database servers. Method
Validation Pack uses Microsoft
JET database to save local data
(i.e. Microsoft Access format).
Microsoft Windows 2000 already
contains the 2.5 version of MDAC.
This version is fully compatible
with Method Validation Pack.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 is
required to display the online
manual.
Standalone installation
The standalone installation is user
installable from the Method
Validation Pack (rev. A01.02 or
higher) software CD-ROM. All
other ChemStation Plus modules
as outlined above are also user
installable for advanced users.
However, Agilent recommends the
installation of the ChemStation
Plus modules through an Agilent-
certified service engineer to pre-
vent from any potential installa-
tion problems and for inclusion of
software familiarization upon
installation.
Client-server installation
The client-server installation must
include
• installation of Oracle 8.1.7,
• installation of ChemStore
server software,
• creation of the Oracle database
• installation of Method
Validation Pack software,
• creation of Method Validation
Pack tablespaces in ChemStore
Oracle instance (alias “HPCS”)
and,
• installation of ChemStore,
Method Validation Pack and
ChemStation for data
acquisition client software on
all client PCs.
Agilent offers complete installa-
tion, validation and training
through its professional services
organization. This will be handled
as a complete project and the
complete service delivery is man-
aged as a project based on the
individual customer requirements.

Prerequisites
Method Validation Pack can oper-
ate both PC-based in a standalone
installation or in a networked sys-
tem installation with full client-
server functionality. In both sce-
narios, some prerequisites must be
met:

client-server mode, ChemStore
with Oracle Revision 8.1.7 must be
installed on the system. In the
client-server installation, all
ChemStation Plus modules can
operate from different PCs. Their
installation is completely indepen-
dent and the system is fully func-
tional as long as all required mod-
ules (see above) are installed
within this cluster and they can
connect with each other.

Access Components 2.5)
(installed by ChemStore)
