Running Installation Script



Next Step

The routine ^%vcins must be run to install the appropriate driver for your operating system and database server. This routine also creates root level entries for all globals used by VC/m; installs menus and help files and creates icons for the browser interface. In order to create the icons, write access to the VC/m installation directory is required.

Note: If VC/m is being installed on GT.M, set the current directory to be the VC/m directory before running ^%vcins.

1. Enter the following at the Caché or M command prompt and then choose the appropriate options for your system. The prompts and messages will vary from the example below depending on your platform and version. In particular, the CSP and WebLink web-access methods are only offered on InterSystems platforms. You should normally choose the CSP one.
