Prerequisites

Client computers must install MS SQL Express depending on what kind of central database. Run it, reboot, and observe the small SQL Server icon with a small green triangle in the taskbar.

Automatic setup

As long as the Central database has set up MS SQL Express as the Local datatype, everything is automatically set up for the user who has been assigned travel rights in SOAdmin. The central SuperOffice.ini file has the information so SOLoader.exe sets up the local datasource and adds the ProtoServerPath and ProtoClientPath to the local SuperOffice.ini. As long as the user has been assigned travel rights in SuperOffice Admin and an update prototype has been generated, the user may now perform a local update by clicking the Travel icon in the navigator: travel icon -screenshot. As long as you are logging in to the local database on Travel, the icon will look like this: travel open -screenshot

Manual setup

Default paths set up automatically are:
If you want to change the location of the local document archive, you need to edit the users’ SuperOffice.ini file. You may change the name of the datasource as long as you also change the Local_Datapath=ODBC:XXX where XXX needs to be the new name of the local datasource. MS SQL Express requires ProtoClientPath (and ProtoServerPath) set. If the client is not going to make a prototype, you only need to add ProtoClientPath= under the SuperOffice section in SuperOffice.ini.
