CCLAS EL 2.48.0 Workstation Installation Guide

This installation guide provides the necessary steps to install CCLAS EL 2.48.0 on a Workstation connected to an application server.

Important: Contact your network administrator or Datamine representative for the location of the CCLAS EL software, or for assistance with its installation.

These activities must be conducted with adequate network, domain and administrator permissions to the installation machines.

Presumption: It is presumed that the initial installation of CCLAS EL has been undertaken. This means that the CCLAS EL database and folders are already in place on a traditional network server or cloud server. The database and folders could be on the same or different server (typically determined by load).

Installation Options

The selection of the various options presented during the installation is dependent upon the installation configuration at your site.

CCLAS EL can be installed with the following configurations:

  • Local

    The CCLAS EL executables reside on each laboratory computer.

    The CCLAS EL database and folders reside on a traditional network server or cloud server.

    Although a CCLAS patch or upgrade requires updating each laboratory computer, the performance of CCLAS EL for each user is far superior compared to running executables on a remote server from a workstation.

  • Application Server and Workstations—This guide covers these workstations installations.

    Presumption: It is presumed that the initial installation of the CCLAS EL has been undertaken.
