Information Services before installing AMS Machinery Manager. The AMS Machinery Manager

installation makes important changes to the IIS setup that you would otherwise have to

configure manually with the assistance of Product Support.

• If you are upgrading your software, back up your database before completing the software

update. Your databases require reindexing to work with the new software. If you need to

reinstall the previous version of software, be aware that any database you open with the new

software will be reindexed and will no longer work with any previous version.

2. Install the AMS Machinery Manager Client on a workstation.

3. Install secondary servers and clients on other computers on the network.

shared as \ServernameRBMnet where Servername is the network computer name.

Prerequisites

Ensure the computer meets the minimum system operating requirements.

If you are upgrading your software, back up your database before completing the software

update. Your databases require reindexing to work with the new software. If you need to

reinstall the previous version of software, be aware that any database you open with the

new software will be reindexed and will no longer work with any previous version.

To install AMS Machinery Manager on a drive other than C, create a shared folder named

RBMnet on the drive where you want to install the software, prior to starting the
