Step 1: The following files need to be installed in the runtime environment:

C:\Empress\bin
C:\Empress\bin\basic.dll
C:\Empress\bin\api_r.dll
C:\Empress\bin\basic.dll
C:\Empress\bin\ms.dll
C:\Empress\bin\mscfg.dll
C:\Empress\bin\nlsmsgtab.dll
C:\Empress\bin\odbcbcs.dll
C:\Empress\common
C:\Empress\common\nls
C:\Empress\common\nls\nlsfile_english
C:\Empress\config
C:\Empress\config\initfile
C:\Empress\config\nettype.cfg
C:\Empress\config\netserver.cfg
C:\Empress\rdbms
C:\Empress\rdbms\spool\proc
C:\Empress\rdbms\spool\shm
C:\Winnt\system32\empOdbcBcs.dll

C:\Empress is the directory where Empress Runtime will be created.

Step 2: Create the Following Settings for Empress RDBMS Runtime

The following settings need to be created in the Windows registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Empress Software Inc.]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Empress Software Inc.\Empress]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Empress Software Inc.\Empress\v8.62-B(Latin1)]
@=""
EMPRESSPATH"="C:\\Empress"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Empress Software Inc.\Empress 8.62(Latin1)]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Empress Software Inc.\Empress 8.62(Latin1)\8.62-B]

C:\Empress is the directory where Empress Runtime will be created.

Step 3: Create the following settings for Empress ODBC Local Access runtime 

The following settings need to be created in the Windows registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Empress ODBC Local Access Interface [Default]]
"Setup"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\EmpOdbcBcsDrv.dll"
"Driver"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\EmpOdbcBcsDrv.dll"
"ConnectFunctions"="YYY"
"DriverODBCVer"="03.51"
"APILevel"="1"
"SQLLevel"="1"
"FileUsage"="0"
"UsageCount"=dword:00000001
"CPTimeout"="<not pooled>"

Step 4: Register Empress ODBC Local Access Runtime 

Create one string value in the Windows registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers

String :

Empress ODBC Local Access Interface [Default]

Value :

Installed

Step 5: Create the following setting for Empress ODBC Local Access Data Source Name (DSN) 

The following settings need to be created in the Windows registry for the Empress ODBC Local Access DSN:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\Your_dsn_name]

"Driver"="C:\\Empress\\v8.62-B.Latin1\\bin\\odbcbcs.dll"
"Description"=""
"Server"=""
"Port"=""
"Database"="Your_Database_Location"
"CodeSet"="Latin1"
"TraceFile"=""
"TraceLevel"="0"
"TranslationDLL"=""
"TranslationName"=""
"TranslationOption"="0"
"DefaultHome"="."
"DefaultPwd"=""
"DefaultUID"=""
"ODBCLEVEL"="2"
"ODBCVERSION"="03.51"
"CACHE_SIZE"="263168"
"CACHE_BTSIZE"="263168"
"CACHE_FSIZE"="263168"
"PACKET_SIZE"="4096"

"Your_dsn_name" is the name of the DSN.

"Your_Database_Location" should be defined as logical database if Empress Global Data Dictionary is used or a physical database path.

Step 6: Register Empress ODBC Local Access DSN 

Create one string value in Windows registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources

String :

Your_dsn_name

Value :

Empress ODBC Local Access Interface [Default]

Step 7: Create a database

A database can be created using the following command on the development machine 

empmkdb -noshmem database_name 

and copied into the runtime environment.

A database can also be created with Empress shared memory settings and copied into the runtime environment. First time the database gets accessed the required shared memory segment(s) will be created on the target system.

Step 8: Create Empress Global Data Dictionary (Optional)

If third party products, such as Microsoft Visual Basic, Excel, .NET are used to access Empress database, Empress Global Data Dictionary must be created.

Create Empress Global Data Dictionary file as follows,

The Windows environment variable MSGLOBALDATADICTIONARY must be set to point to the above file.
