This document will provide a guide for what was needed to make the NT ready and any other steps which had to be done before the first client could connect in. Create all three groups even though there are no developers at remote sites.

• · First we need to create a couple of roles on the NT user/group manager. This was done by launching :

• · Start | Programs | Admin Tools (common) | User Manager · Choose User | New Global Group
• · Add the following groups :
• Group Name : Oracle End User (read only access to oracle shared area)
• Group Name : Oracle Developer (ability to write to oracle shared area)
• Group Name : Oracle Admin (for administration of the files/filesystems)
• · Now setup some users.
• · Start | Programs | Admin Tools (common) | User Manager
• · Choose User | New User
• · Add the following users (in the case of the remote client, use their users) :
• User Name : oracle Groups : Oracle * (all)
• User Name : developer Groups : Oracle Developer, Oracle End User
• User Name : enduser Groups : Oracle End User
• · Now make a directory for all of the shared oracle forms/reports/graphics/sequel scripts.
• · mkdir c:\oracle
• · Now setup share access on the directory
• · Right click on "c:\oracle" while in explorer
• · Choose "Permissions"
• remove "everyone"
• add "Oracle Developer" for access type of "full control"
• add "Oracle End User" for access type of "read only"
• · After this is all complete, we need to get the forms/reports/graphics/sequel stuff, copy from the s:\ (aix’s "shared") drive to our new location of "c:\oracle", the contents of the s:\forms\edumet directory

• · Now we need to recompile all forms. This is done by either bringing them up into designer one at a time, and compile and save them, or by running a dos shell script named c:\admin\compile.bat on the ntserver itself. · Now lets make a backup of the NT system, as it is a new environment, and we will need to keep it protected also. This is done by clicking on the backup shortcut on the desktop. · Also make a new Emergency Repair Disk, by executing the newly created shortcut on the desktop. This shortcut will export the registry to a directory on disk, for use later if needed and also put a copy on a diskette for you. (A very good idea would also be to add to that disk, a copy of the disk configuration of the machine, in case there is ever a disaster. This is done by launching disk adminstrator, and choosing file | configuration | save, and put it on the same diskette as the ERD).
