This text refers to program version 4.0  

Creating a New Database (Multi-user) - The Program Mode Register

The next stage is to make this database available to the network. Select 'Technics' from the Modules menu and click the [Prog Mode] button in the bottom left-hand corner of the Master Control panel (or select 'Program Mode' from the Registers menu).

The fields on this window should be completed as follows:

Header

Program Name

If you are using Hansa under Windows, you can specify the name of the window in which Hansa appears and of the application's button in the Taskbar (Windows 95/98/2000). Enter that name here.

Server Card

Server Port

This field is for TCP/IP communication with Hansa clients. Enter an arbitrary four-digit code to identify this database. If you have more than one server machine running Hansa, or more than one copy of Hansa running different databases on the same machine (not recommended), each must feature a unique Server Port number.

If you change the Server Port or put one in for the first time, you must quit Hansa and restart for the change to take effect.

Default Company

If you would like a particular Company to be used by default when you launch Hansa, specify that Company here. The next time Hansa is used, the Company specified here will be opened automatically and the 'Select Company' window will not appear.

This field can be used in single-user systems to ensure a particular Company is always used. This is the only field that can be used in this register in a single-user system.

Server at Startup

Switch this check box on if you would like the Server module to be selected by default when you launch Hansa.

Usually, it will not be necessary to use this check box. When the time comes to shut down the server, two options are available on the File menu. If you choose 'Quit', Hansa will automatically go into server mode the next time it is used, even if the Server at Startup is not checked. If you choose 'Quit, Remove Autoserver', it will not, allowing you to work on the server machine itself.

Other Cards
The remaining fields in this register are only used in the specialised situations when setting up the Web Shop, FTP server and Print and Fax servers and when establishing an open TCP/IP link with Hansa. They can be left blank when setting up a data server.

For details about setting up an FTP server, please refer to the Setting up an FTP Server page. For details about setting up Print and Fax servers, please refer to the description of the Printers setting. For details about setting up a Web Shop and about establishing an open TCP/IP link with Hansa, please refer to your local Hansa representatives.

Once the 'Server' card of this register is complete, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save. If you have entered a Server Port number for the first time (or changed the one that was already there), quit Hansa and restart to allow the change to take effect.

!	Complete the Program Mode screen before applying for a database key.

The final task is to select 'Server' from the Modules menu. The 'Server Status' screen appears. This can be used to monitor network activity.

The server can now be left alone.
