Network Setup Instructions for PrimaSoft Organizer Advantage

NOTE : make sure you have replaced "myserver" with the real name of your server or designated computer.

1. Download and Install

   Download the trial version of Organizer Advantage from our website and install the software on your network drive e.g. in F:\adv\ folder. Make sure every user on your network has full Read/Write/Execute access permissions to that folder and all subfolders.

2. Using Windows Explorer locate Organizer Advantage main folder e.g. F:\adv\. Inside it, you should find db folder (e.g. F:\adv\db\). Move db folder to your server local drive that is not shared such as drive C:. For example, you could create a folder called adv_db on drive C: and move db folder from F:\adv\ to C:\adv_db\.
3. In your Organizer Advantage main folder (e.g. F:\adv\) locate a file called datadir.tx$ and rename it to datadir.txt. Then, double-click on datadir.txt and modify the path to db folder according to step 2. For example, datadir.txt could contain the following line:
   \\myserver\c:\adv_db\db\
   where "myserver" should be replaced by the name of your server.
   After modifying datadir.txt file save it and exit from Notepad.
4. Download and install Firebird 2.5.5 database engine on your network server using the following link:
   https://www.primasoft.com/librarymanager/Firebird-2.5.5.26952_0_Win32.exe
   After downloading this file run it on the server and follow the setup instructions.
5. On the server, make sure Port 3050 is accessible to all users (create an Inbound Rule).
6. Download this file into your Firebird UDF folder:
   https://www.primasoft.com/advantage-organizer/primasoft.dl
   For example, if Firebird is installed in
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_2_5_5\
   you should download "primasoft.dl" file to
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_2_5_5\UDF\
   folder and rename it to "primasoft.dll".
7. In your program main folder (e.g. F:\adv\ delete a file called "fbclient.dll" and rename a file called "fbclient_net.dll" to "fbclient.dll").
8. On every workstation that will be running the software create shortcuts on your desktop to all or some of the following files in F:\adv\ folder: orgadv.exe (Organizer Advantage), designer.exe (Designer), and orgview.exe (Viewer).
