Data Access and the Packages

Options > Data Access Getting Started > Setting Up Data Access > Data Access Installation and Configuration > Data Access and the Packages

To use Data Access, you must install the “Foundation” and “Gadget” Views packages and Views DB Link product. To use other optional packages with Data Access, you must install the relevant Views packages:

Views DB Link for SQL

Views Grapher package

Views Gantt package for Gantt charts

Views compatibility Package for old charts

Views Charts package

System Name

Before you continue reading, you should determine the name of your system. You can find it in the README file delivered with the product. For example, if you are using a Sun Ultra Sparc 32 bit Solaris 8.x with C++ 6.2, your system name is ultrasparc32_8_6.2.

In the sections that follow, replace the strings <system> and <subsystem> in commands and directory names with your actual system and subsystem names.

System Environments

The next three sections show how to install Views in these different environments:

UNIX

Windows XP

Windows Vista

Since the sections are independent, you can go directly to the one that applies to you.
