Omnidex Client |
|
Windows ClientOmnidex Client for Windows provides several utilities not available on any other platform, designed to facilitate client/server applications. Windows machines can be used as client machines for most client applications, regardless of the server platform. Omnidex Client for Windows can also be used to assist in non-Windows client setup. All client/server applications, regardless of platform, require a client data source to connect to the Omnidex environment file through Omnidex Network Services (ODXNET). The Windows Client utility, DSEDIT, can create this data source, which can then be copied to the appropriate client machine. DSEDIT can also verify that an ODXNET listener is running on the server.
InstallationThe Omnidex Client installation utility will install the Omnidex utilities Data Source Editor (DSEDIT), NSADMIN, ODXQUERY, and the JDBC class files necessary for Java development using Omnidex. To install Omnidex Client, simply run the Setup.exe program located on the Omnidex Client CD.
The setup routine will guide you through all the necessary steps to install Omnidex Client on your Windows client machine. You will be prompted to select an installation directory. The default is c:\odxnetcl. It is a good idea to verify that the environment variables were set correctly by the setup routine, before continuing.
Client ApplicationsOmnidex client applications communicate with the Omnidex Environment Catalog on the server via Omnidex Network Services (ODXNET). ODXNET runs on the server "listening" for requests from the client. Client requests pass through an Omnidex Client Data Source to the ODXNET listener, then to Omnidex where the queries are processed.
See Development for more information about developing client applications as well as third party integration.
