BOSaNOVA Enterprise -Quick start
- Before installing BOSaNOVA Enterprise Server:

- Install BOSaNOVA Enterprise Server:
- Download BOSaNOVA_EnterpriseSrv_Install.
- Run the install
- Proceed with the install steps. Most of them are equivalent to BOSaNOVA Secure install steps.
- When you get to the MySQL and ODBC setting, enter the database settings, as defined on MySQL install.
- When install is done you have the following new icons on the desktop:
- BOSaNOVA Enterprise Set x
And
- BOSaNOVA Manager Set x

And the different system parameters can be set:

-PC Automatic Registers - If 'Yes' a PC can automatically register to the monitor database when first connecting.
3.4To change any settings click the "Change" button.
4 Prepare default configuration
The default configuration is the basic configuration sent to the clients with the first deployment. Here we define the Hosts, Sessions and any other configuration we want to apply for all clients.
To prepare a default configuration:
3.1 Click the 'Create Default Configuration' button on the toolbar:
3.2On the Default Configuration Pane Click the "Create" button.
3.3Click OK on the MessageBox.

3.13Click 'OK' on the MessageBox.

5Prepare Client deployment
The BOSaNOVA Enterprise Client can be installed by one of the two options:
-Run the BOSaNOVA Enterprise install: BOSaNOVA_Enterprise_Install.exe.
It is downloaded by the BOSaNOVA Enterprise Server install and stored in
The subfolder DepSrc under the Server install folder.
By using this install the Client user has to go into BOSaNOVA configuration and define required configuration.
-The better option is to prepare a Deployment packet by the manager
And send it to the client for install.
The Deployment packet is a self-extract install program that contains all the default configuration as defined by the Manager.
To install the BOSaNOVA Enterprise Client, the user has only to run the Deployment – without having to handle any settings or configuration.
To prepare Deployment :
5.1 Click the Create Deployment button on the toolbar.
5.2 Please wait till the Sand Clock picture is closed.
While the Deployment is packed you will see the following bubble message on the taskbar.
When the deployment is done you will have a bubble message saying :
"Operation successfully completed".
5.3 The Deployment file is stored in the subfolder 'Deployment' under the path defined in Environment / Data RootPath.
