The Network Client/Server configuration of jRAVEN uses a server to support one or more individual workstations, allowing access to the same database via multiple computers and users.

• Servers hold the central database requiring the server installation to be placed in a network location, separate from the jRAVEN client application.

• Network clients are placed on the users’ individual workstations which then access the database on the server.

The jRAVEN network client should be installed after the server installation has been successfully completed.

For current jRAVEN users it is strongly recommended to begin by backing up the current database. For questions related to data backup consult the jRAVEN User Guide or contact the QIES Help Desk.

ALL network client applications should be closed when upgrading or installing a new server. Once an upgrade installation has begun users should not cancel or close any of the windows displayed.  

ALL client installations should be upgraded to the latest version prior to logging into the application.

Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in loss of data.
