Selecting the required components
After clicking the Next button, the component selection page appears, where the different
components of PrintShop Mail Connect can be selected for installation. Currently, the following
are available:
l
PrintShop Mail Connect Designer: The Designer module (see "The Designer" on
page92) can be installed standalone (with no other installed modules)on as many
machines as you like. It does not require a license to run as a standalone designer tool .
This allows for any number of people to use the Designer for creating jobs, but without
production capabilities such as automation and commingling.
l
MySQL Product: A supplied MySQLdatabase used by PrintShop Mail Connect.
The database is used for referencing temporary Connect files and for sorting temporarily
extracted data, and similar.
A pre-existing MySQL or Microsoft SQL server (referred to as an external database, in
this documentation) could be used instead, for the same purposes.
The external database could reside on the same computer or on a separate server.
If you wish to make use of an external database, please make sure the MySQL Product
option is not selected.
Warning
If you chose not to install the supplied MySQL database, and instead opt to use a
pre-existing external database, then you must ensure that your external database is
accessible to Connect, yourself. Objectif Lune Inc. will take no responsibility for
database connections to any but the supplied MySQL database.
See "Database Considerations" on page17 for more information about setting up
external databases.
l
Installation Path: This is the location where modules are to be installed.
Note
To cater for MySQL requirements, the installation path cannot contain any non
ASCIIcharacters (such as Asian language Unicode characters). Nor can it contain
characters that Windows disallows in filenames (such as '?', ''>' or trailing spaces).
