The OnBase Client installer is used to install the components required to deploy OnBase. The installation wizard can be used to install the following products in the combination that best meets your organization's needs.

OnBase Client |
The OnBase Client provides a single interface for retrieval and management of all documents, regardless of the file type (text, image, application, etc.). Based on security, the Client module also provides system analysis and management tools. The value of this module stems from the fact that you can retrieve all types of documents from one interface, as well as cross-references between these documents. The OnBase Client requires an ODBC connection to the database. Note:
Installing the OnBase Client also installs the Client-side files required for Document Composition. |
|
Mail Services |
Mail Services is designed to create a single interface with a given mail system. By default, OnBase uses Mail Services to communicate with a specified external mail system. Mail Services allows users to send external e-mail messages, with user-defined e-mail recipients, subject, body text, and attachments. When a message is sent outside of the OnBase system, a connection is made to the mail system (e.g., Outlook) using Mail Services. |
|
OnBase Client API |
The OnBase Client API provides an interface for programmers to extend the functionality of the OnBase Client through the use of scripts and custom applications. The Client installer installs the API in local mode only. |
|
DCOM Configuration |
This component installs and enables the DCOM settings that can be configured to allow the OnBase Client API to operate in a distributed environment (i.e., across networked computers). Without this component, the API only works in local mode. Note:
The specific DCOM settings must still be configured by an administrator after installation. |
