Installing QuantaFlow
Demo Fat Version
for IntelX Processors & NeXTX Computers
Countries: US & FRANCE
The SUMERIS TM Accounting System is a series of seamlessly integrated modules providing real-time accounting and business management software.
It runs on all computer platforms using the NeXTSTEPX operating system.
Designed in a multi-threaded client/server architecture, it supports multiple network users and distributed information is made available to all client applications anywhere in a network.
QuantaFlow is the central module of the SUMERIS Accounting System. It includes two NEXSTEP Applications as well as the QuantaServer server. Subsequently, the term QuantaFlow will be used to refer to these programs as a whole:
1-QuantaFlow is the main application. It is the one you will most frequently use. In this version QuantaReport, is integrated in the QuantaFlow application menu. This is the module you will use to create or modify the reports.
2- QuantaAmin is the application used to manage databases creation and to perform other administrative tasks. It is used, for instance, to create a new company accounting, add users, and start or stop the server.
3-QuantaServer is the database server. It is located inside the "app-wrapper" (folder) QuantaAdmin.app. It is started and stopped by QuantaAdmin.
The installation procedure is completed in 2 steps and will take just a few minutes.
1- Installing the applications on your hard disk
2- Launching QuantaAdmin and Creating the Main Database
Creating a new accounting database requires a few more steps. A "Demo Company" and its database are already set up for you, so you don't need to go through steps 3 and 4.
3- Setting up Security
4- Creating an Accounting Database
IMPORTANT DEMO INFORMATION:
The demo version supports all the features of the full version, but:
X You cannot print QuantaReport documents (you can still print QuantaFlow reports).
X The database demo version will not expand as more disk space is needed; therefore, you cannot create more than a predefined amount of information. Also, your database access is limited and you will not be able to open more than 2 accounting databases/companies at once; if you try to do so you will get a Server message like "no_such_table". If QuantaAdmin & QuantaFlow are running at the same time (anywhere in the network, if you have one), quit QuantaAdmin so that more than one company may be simultaneously opened within QuantaFlow.
