This manual is written during the development of OCAD server module. All the features in
The '''Client Server''' function is part of the OCAD Enterprise Edition.
the manner described here are subject to change. The manual reflects the functionality of
the current implementation and how to work with it. This is not a final implementation an
my have bugs and functionality faults. The current state is mostly tested with Postgres
SQL – Server 8.2.9 and should work with the version mentioned before or higher. Working
with an Oracle database is not yet supported, this will be a step for the future.


==Installation of the Database==
==Introduction==
To be able to use the OCAD-Server Module you have to install a Postgres SQL – Server.
The version used for development was 8.2.9. You can get Postgres from
[http://www.postgres.org http://www.postgres.org]. The module was developed with a Postgres Server on a Windows
platform. To work with the server module you have to create a user called ocad11 – this is
currently hard coded. As next step you must setup 6 core tables and 3 sequences for the
module and alter the ocad11 user to them.

With the '''Client Server Architecture (CSA)''' different user can work simultaneously at the same project. The collaboration can be achieved either internally (within a company) or distributed over the internet. A VPN connection is recommended. For fieldwork it is also possible to take a part of the map offline and resync the changes with the CSA project after finishing the fieldwork. Furthermore it is possible to create base projects and inherit them as basis for other projects. Changes on the base projects affects the inherited projects geometry but not the styling.

==Tech Specs==
After the basic database setup you can connect to the database. You have to enter the

information in the below shown mask.

===Client===
* Windows XP (Service Pack 3), Windows Vista (Service Pack 1), Windows 7 or Windows 8 (32 or 64 bit).
* Minimum of 512MB Memory
* Minimum of 100MB Harddisk space


For the first connection you have to provide the database protocol – currently only

Postgres is supported. For a connection although the host, the database name, the port
* Minimum of 256 MB of physical RAM
and the port must be provided. The user name for the database currently must be ocad11
* Minimum of 2 GB of available hard drive space
as mentioned in the setup selection and a Password.
* System: Windows (Server 2003, 2008) or Linux
* PostgreSQL 9.1 or newer


For the project user you must provide the data as inserted during the installation for the

user name and the password. When you are connected the currently database projects

get loaded and your userident (e.g. Illustration 1: connection and project settings the

After the basic setup you can create a new map project in the database. To do so click in

the project creation.

As shown in Illustration 2 a project name and a unique project ident must be supplied.
When you enter a project name a project ident will be created of the name by default but
you can change it the way you like. A map scale and a grid distance should be provided all
other parameters are optional. When clicking on the create button the new project will be
created and should shown up in the database window.

This function is only available in the OCAD 12 Enterprise Edition.

The Client Server function is part of the OCAD Enterprise Edition.

Introduction

With the Client Server Architecture (CSA) different user can work simultaneously at the same project. The collaboration can be achieved either internally (within a company) or distributed over the internet. A VPN connection is recommended. For fieldwork it is also possible to take a part of the map offline and resync the changes with the CSA project after finishing the fieldwork. Furthermore it is possible to create base projects and inherit them as basis for other projects. Changes on the base projects affects the inherited projects geometry but not the styling.
