The setup of the multiple DocuWare components is split into Server Setup and Client Setup. In addition to the Client Setup, DocuWare Update is available to update client applications.
Server setup
With the server setup, you install, update, and uninstall all frontend services and backend services.
The Connect to SAP server is not installed through DocuWare setup, but made available by DocuWare Professional Services as a separate application.
DocuWare Administration can be installed with both the server setup and the client setup. To install the administrative Power Tools as client applications, you use the server setup.
The server setup creates the databases and updates them during an upgrade. It also creates configuration files for individual components and a machine-wide configuration file (storage location: %programdata%/docuware/serverconfig/dwmachine.config).
Client setup and DocuWare Update
Use the Client Setup to install, update, and uninstall all applications required on the client side. The applications in the Client Setup are not available via the DocuWare Setup except for DocuWare Administration.
The Client Setup uses Windows Installer. The client components can be installed via Client Setup.
DocuWare Update automatically checks whether updates or hotfixes are available for the applications installed on a client and reports the result to the user. If required, the client setup opens so the user can install updated versions. In the update, the version numbers are compared with the locally installed version numbers.
