Description

How to install and configure the data modeling tool from Embarcadero Software.

Installation Steps

First, uninstall your existing Embarcadero ERStudio Client. Go into regedit and make sure that in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software, you only see an "Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.". If you see just an "Embarcadero" key, it is old. Delete it.

Now that you are ready, do the following:

1) Run O:\0_Common\Tools_Center\Embarcadero\erupgrade4.2

2) Welcome win: Click Next

3) User Information win: Click Next (assuming the 2 fields are prepopulated correctly)

4) Choose Application to Install win: Click Next (assuming ER/Studio is selected by default)

5) Choose License Type win: choose Floating Network Configuration, click Next

6) Choose Floating Network Configuration License Type win: choose Client Install, click Next

7) Choose Destination Location win: pick your install folder (I prefer D:\Apps\Embarcadero\ERStudio), click Next

8) Choose AppGen Location win: pick the install folder for this as well (I prefer D:\Apps\Embarcadero\AppGen), click Next

9) Select License File Location win: browse to Q:\Embarcadero\ERStudio Network License\ and select the ERStudio.lf file there and click Open, then Next.

10) Select Program Folder win: select Program Folder you want, default is usually OK, click Next

11) Select Default Notation Type win: click Next

12) Start Copying Files win: click Next

13) click Finish

Now return to O:\0_Common\Tools_Center\Embarcadero and run the erstudio42patch.exe file. Double check the default path it comes up with, often it isn’t the folder you installed ERStudio to. Call Bill if you have any questions about the patch installation as he forgot to document the steps.

Configuration Steps

Run ERStudio and choose Tools | Options. In the Options window that appears (see below), you may navigate to the various options areas with the drop-down listbox in the upper left corner, or using the thin tabs to the right.

Application


If some of ERStudio’s fonts or colors freak you out, you can change them using the Colors & Font Settings button in the pane above. It’s up to you.

Logical


It’s in this pane that you can change that annoyingly bright light blue background of the logical model editor.

Physical


You have to choose the Default Database before it will populate the Default Datatype listbox with values.
