Remote Install

Some users need to install the software onto remote computers, which may be miles away.  This is also useful for IT administrators who need to install on multiple systems quickly and monitor and control multiple systems.  Others may need the commandline module because their system does not have display capabilities or only serve as servers.

If you need to install remotely, you can simply copy over the entire main install folder from your Local system to the Remote system using Ftp (or simple Copy if the remote folder is accesable as a shared drive to you).  Then access the CLM using Telnet (or rlogin, ssh etc..) to start/stop and perform other scheduler operations.  NOTE:  when you install remotely, the normal system shortcuts are not created on the remote systems desktop or other folder since the installation software is not used.

The program does not require any system wide properties to be set.  On Windows, nothing is read/written to the registry or system folders/files etc...  On Unix systems, the system classpath or path is not set or accessed.  Hence, only a simple copy or Ftp of the entire main install folder to the Remote System is required.

Steps for Remote Install:
1) Install a master copy of the software on the same platform as the target remote systems.  i.e. if you want to perform remote installs on Windows systems, Install a master copy on a Windows system.
2) Ftp the entire main install folder to the target remote systems.
