Before installing the software, we recommend that you complete the following 

procedures: 

 

Install the application files in a sub-directory 

 

Determine how you want subscribers to access InView services 

 

We recommend that system operators and application developers install their 

application files in a subdirectory in the /export/home/dncs/apps directory. By 

default, the apps directory does not exist on the DNCS or the SARA server. When 

you are installing InView, an automatic procedure exists that will create the required 

directories. 
Important: 

 

Application files installed in the recommended directories are backed up as part 

of our backup procedures and can be restored later, if needed.  

 

If you are upgrading from any version of InView software prior to version 3.0.x, 

it is recommended that you uninstall your existing software before you install 

InView Client 3.6.  

Time to Complete 
Installing the InView software and configuring the application on the DNCS takes 

approximately 30 minutes to complete.
