Installing Ami Pro on a Network

You can install and run Ami Pro on a Local Area Network (LAN). Ami Pro must be installed on networks that are compatible with Microsoft Windows Version 3.x.

To install Ami Pro on a network, log in as the network supervisor before you begin the installation and make sure you have read-write access to the WINHELP.EXE and WINHELP.HLP files in the WINDOWS directory.

When prompted, choose Install Ami Pro as server, choose Complete Ami Pro Install, and specify the network drive and directory where you want to install Ami Pro. You must also specify a NODE directory so that the Install program can install node-related files on the server.

As part of the network server installation, you can specify the number of licenses you have for Ami Pro. For information, choose the Help command button in the Licenser dialog box.

When the network server installation is complete, you can use the NODE.EXE file (located in the NODE directory you specified during the installation) to automate the process of setting up user nodes. Simply run the NODE.EXE program from each workstation.

For Upgraders

If you have a prior release of Ami Pro on the server, you should install over it. You do not need to delete any files before you start the installation, nor does the Install program delete any files. However, you must have read-write access to the AMIPRO directory and its subdirectories.

For additional information about installing Ami Pro on a network, refer to the READNET.TXT file located on Install Disk 1 or in the NODE directory.

Completing the Network Server Installation

After you specify the necessary network drives and directories (for the program files, the node-related files, and the Ami Pro style sheets, documents, and macros), the Install program copies the files to the directories you specified. The Install program then starts the Ami Pro Node Setup program.

The Node Setup program sets up the server so you can automate the process of setting up user nodes. The first time NODE.EXE is run, it creates an AMIPRO\NETADMIN.INI file that contains information about where the Ami Pro style sheets, documents, and macros are stored on the network and installs Ami Pro for the network supervisor. After that, NODE.EXE sets up user nodes.

To complete the network server installation

 1.	Specify the network drive and directory for the licenser utility and choose OK.

If you previously installed other Lotus network products on the server, the Install program displays the path to the current LOTSHARE directory. You should accept that path.

If Ami Pro is the first Lotus network product you are installing, specify LOTSHARE\AMIPRO.V30 on the desired network drive.

 2.	Set the number of Ami Pro concurrent users and choose Exit.

For information, choose the Help command button in the Licenser dialog box.

 3.	Specify whether local directories for Ami Pro macros, documents, and style sheets are permissible by choosing the desired command button.

If you want users to be able to run the WordPerfect SwitchKit, choose Yes.

 4.	Specify the network drives and directories where you installed the Ami Pro macros, documents, and style sheets and choose OK.

 5.	Specify the drives and directories for the network supervisor's macros, documents, style sheets, and user dictionary and choose OK.

For the user dictionary, you can specify either a directory on the workstation's hard drive or a directory on the network. For example, you could specify C:\AMIPRO or C:\WINDOWS, or you could specify F:\USER\USERNAME.

If you want to run the WordPerfect SwitchKit, specify either a directory on the workstation's hard drive or your user directory on the network for the macros and style sheets.

The macro, document, and style sheet directories are dimmed if you specified that local directories were not allowed.

 6.	Choose OK to exit the Ami Pro Node Setup program.

You can now set up each user node by running the NODE.EXE program from each workstation.

Installing Adobe Type Manager on a Network


Using Ami Pro on a Network

Once you install Ami Pro on the server and set up each user node, multiple users can run Ami Pro from their workstations.

All users must have read, write, create, delete, and attribute rights to directories that contain documents they need to edit.

To prevent possible sharing violations on LAN Manager and other networks, even the supervisor must load Ami Pro as a read-only user.

If the users on a network are sharing documents, Ami Pro provides file locking to protect against the possibility of simultaneous data update attempts. When a user opens a document, the original file is changed to read-only and can be modified only by that user. When the original user closes the document, Ami Pro changes the rights to read-write, thereby allowing another user to edit it.

Another user can open a read-only file and save changes to it only if the changes are saved to a different file name.

If Ami Pro is terminated abnormally, as in the case of a power failure, some documents may be left in read-only mode. You can change the files back to read-write using File Manager.

Overwriting Existing Paths

The Install program checks for an existing release of Ami Pro. If it finds existing STYLES, DOCS, and MACROS directories, it displays the paths to those directories. You can leave the existing paths and overwrite any files with similar names or specify different directories.

All the Ami Pro Release 3.0 style sheets begin with either an _ (underscore) or MERC*, instead of a ~ (tilde). If you created style sheets with similar file names, you should specify another directory for the Release 3.0 style sheets. Otherwise, you can install into the existing directory.

The Install program installs the following files into the DOCS directory: README30.SAM, GOODIES.SAM, and several MERC*.* files. If you created documents with similar names, you should specify another directory for the Release 3.0 documents. Otherwise, you can install into the existing directory.

The macros provided with Ami Pro Release 3.0 have changed substantially. You should specify another directory for the Release 3.0 macros only if you modified any macros provided with Ami Pro and saved the changes to the original files.

To specify directories for style sheets, documents, and macros

 1.	Specify the complete paths to the directories where you want to install the Ami Pro style sheets, documents, and macros.

 2.	Choose OK.

Converting Ami Pro NewWave Aware Objects to Ami Pro Bridged Objects


Converting Ami Pro Objects to Windows Files

When you load NewWave for the first time after installing Ami Pro, Ami Pro creates an Ami Pro Bridge Kit: Run Me interface object on the NewWave Desktop. You can use the Ami Pro Convert folder from the Bridge Kit to convert Ami Pro objects that are either Aware or Bridged to Windows-compatible files.

The first time you use the Bridge Kit, it:

•	Installs an Object Type named Lotus Ami Pro

•	Installs all Ami Pro masters for use with bridged objects

•	Sorts all Ami Pro masters

•	Places an Ami Pro Convert folder on the NewWave Desktop and creates a master folder called Ami Pro Convert

To convert Ami Pro objects to Windows files

 1.	Choose the Ami Pro Bridge Kit.

The Bridge Kit places the Ami Pro Convert folder on the NewWave Desktop.

 2.	Drag all the objects you want to convert into the Ami Pro Convert folder.

 3.	Open the Ami Pro Convert folder.

 4.	Choose Task/Convert to Windows files.

 5.	Select any objects you want to convert.

 6.	Select a destination drive and directory for the new Windows files.

 7.	Choose Detach.

NewWave displays the object names as Windows file names.

 8.	If necessary, edit the default file name and press ENTER.

 9.	Choose Detach.

10.	Choose Done.

You can now open the Ami Pro objects as Ami Pro files.

Converting Ami Pro NewWave Aware Objects to Ami Pro Bridged Objects

When you load NewWave for the first time after installing Ami Pro, Ami Pro creates an Ami Pro Bridge Kit: Run Me interface object on the NewWave Desktop. You can use the Ami Pro Convert folder from the Bridge Kit to convert Ami Pro objects that are NewWave Aware to Bridged Objects.

If you installed Ami Pro NewWave Aware, you must copy AMIPRO.EXE from the HPNWPROG directory to the AMIPRO directory before you open an Ami Pro Bridged Object.

The first time you use the Bridge Kit, it:

•	Installs an Object Type named Lotus Ami Pro

•	Installs all Ami Pro masters for use with bridged objects

•	Sorts all Ami Pro masters

•	Places an Ami Pro Convert Folder on the NewWave Desktop and creates a master folder called Ami Pro Convert

If an Ami Pro NewWave Aware object contains any shared NewWave objects, the shared objects appear as blank text frames in the Ami Pro Bridged object.

To convert Ami Pro NewWave Aware objects to Ami Pro Bridged object

 1.	Choose the Ami Pro Bridge Kit.

The Bridge Kit places the Ami Pro Convert folder on the NewWave Desktop.

 2.	Drag all the objects you want to convert into the Ami Pro Convert folder.

 3.	Open the Ami Pro Convert Folder.

 4.	Choose Task/Convert Aware to Bridged.

The Ami Pro Convert Folder creates a destination folder named Ami Pro {date} {time}. Each Ami Pro NewWave Aware object that is converted appears in the destination folder as an Ami Pro Bridged object.

You can open these objects from the Ami Pro Convert Folder or move the objects to another location. If you move all of the objects to another location, you can delete the folder. A new folder is created each time you convert the objects.
