Chapter 1
Installing EnterpriseSCHEDULE for Windows
This chapter briefly describes the installation of the
EnterpriseSCHEDULE for Windows software package. The software is
available as a client only package for controlling, monitoring and
administering OpenVMS, Linux, Sun Solaris and HP-UX based scheduling
servers. It is also available as a client/server package for Windows
based scheduling servers.
1.1 Installing the EnterpriseSCHEDULE client/server using the downloaded executable
To download the EnterpriseSCHEDULE setup programs:
- Log onto support.i-s-e.com using the supplied username and
password (you may obtain a username and password by contacting ISE at
310-643-7310).
- Select Windows Downloads from the ISE Downloads menu and then
choose either the client/server or the client alone depending on your
installation.
- Download the file to a temp directory.
- To install EnterpriseSCHEDULE, log in as Administrator and double
click on the setup program.
- The installation program will prompt you for the serial number
provided with the demo.
Note
For a more detailed description of the EnterpriseSCHEDULE
installation process, see the Quick Start Guides provided with your
kit. The Quick Start Guides are available for the Windows client/server
and for the individual remote servers.
Special Note for new installations: Schedule comes
pre-installed with a history maintenance job that runs under the
Administrator user id called \Schedule_maintenance\auto_history_purge.
This job will fail with an error until an Administrator User record is
created. There is a one time step needed to complete the installation.
Start a client connection to the Schedule server while logged in as
"Administrator" to automatically create the Administrator User record.
(Another option is to change the jobs owner id to another User with
Administrator privilege.)

1.2 Licensing EnterpriseSCHEDULE
The license may be added using one of two methods:
a. Using the EnterpriseSCHEDULE License Manager
After installing EnterpriseSCHEDULE, go to Start > All Programs >
EnterpriseSCHEDULE > License Manager. Click on the Server tab and

Group Number (usually 0). First time EnterpriseSCHEDULE installations
should use the following Username/Password:

Password: ISElogin
Enter the Company Name and Serial number you received from ISE (usually
a Demo PAS) and click Apply to add the License. Click the Refresh
button to activate the License.
Note
