Windows Installation

To install ODM, select ODM Interface on the Select Components dialog of the Optim™ installation program.

You can install ODM as part of the Optim installation or copy the ODM installation files to your machine for use at a later time. Select one of these options:

Install and Configure ODM Now: Select this option to install the ODM Server. You are prompted for the ODM license file and both the ODM Server and Connect Studio are automatically installed. The ODM Server and Connect Studio installation files are also copied to your machine.
If both ODM Server and Connect Studio version 5.3 are already installed, this option is labeled Configure ODM Now. If an earlier version of ODM Server is installed, you must uninstall it before installing ODM.
Only Copy the ODM Files: Select this option to install the ODM Server manually. This option copies the ODM Server and Connect Studio installation files to your machine. To complete the ODM installation, you must install ODM manually.

Note: If you have previously used ODM to support Optim Data Source Extensions, a message indicates that the installer cannot upgrade ODM. Upgrading ODM is not required, but if you want to upgrade, you are directed to instructions needed to upgrade ODM manually.

Specify ODM License Type

After you choose Install and Configure ODM Now, the dialog prompts you to select the type of license you will use.

You must have an updated ODM license. If you do not have one, select Enable a 30 day ODM Trial License for immediate access. To obtain a new license, submit a Service Request to Optim Support.

Automatic ODM Installation

If you choose Install and Configure ODM Now (or Configure ODM Now), the Specify ODM License File dialog is displayed. Enter the path to the ODM license file, or click Browse to select a path.

After you provide the license file path, click Next to display the Shortcut Location dialog and continue the installation.

ODM is installed at the end of the Optim installation process and Command Prompt dialogs requiring no entries are displayed.

If you chose Enable a 30 day ODM Trial License, you do not have to specify a license file.

Manual ODM Installation

To install the ODM Server manually, you must run the ODM installation script and register the optim Connect license. The installation includes the ODM Server and Connect Studio.

To install a second instance of ODM Server manually, you must run the ODM Server installation file. This server installation includes the ODM Server only.

To install an ODM Server on a Windows machine:

Copy the Connect license file to a directory on your machine.
From a Command Prompt, access the ODM\install subdirectory of the Optim installation directory.
Type the following command:
```
ODMINSTALL
```
When prompted to confirm the Connect Server installation, click OK.
When prompted, type the path to the Connect license file and click OK.

Note: To install a second instance of the ODM Server on a Windows machine, run the ODM Server installation file, OptimConnectServer_53nnn_windows.exe, located in the Optim Connect\Servers\Windows subdirectory of the Optim installation directory.

By default, the daemon runs under the Local System account. If access to needed resources requires network credentials, you must change the daemon logon to an appropriate network account. To change the logon account, open the Services dialog from the Control Panel/Administrative Tools, double-click Connect Server Daemon (IRPCD), and specify the account on the Log On tab.
