Installation and Configuration Steps
The steps to install and configure WebFOCUS App Studio vary depending on how you plan to develop applications.
Install WebFOCUS App Studio on the machine of each developer, then set up a connection from each WebFOCUS App Studio machine to a WebFOCUS environment installed somewhere on your network. To access data, configure the WebFOCUS Reporting Server in the WebFOCUS environment.
- Network Installation. Install WebFOCUS App Studio on one shared machine. Developers run WebFOCUS App Studio from their desktop by accessing the files installed on the shared machine over the network. You must set up a connection from WebFOCUS App Studio on the shared machine to a WebFOCUS environment. To access data, configure the WebFOCUS Reporting Server in the WebFOCUS environment.
- Installation on a WebFOCUS Machine. Install WebFOCUS App Studio after WebFOCUS is installed and configured. WebFOCUS App Studio connects to the WebFOCUS environment that is already installed.
