Managing the client runtime

The following sections provide general task information necessary to manage the client runtimes. Use the tasks specified in these sections as general patterns for managing the client runtimes.

You will need to refer to Configuring the platform and Extending the platform for the details to be supplied when completing each task.

• Managing with a Client Management server
  Lotus Expeditor Server provides client management services to install applications, and manage applications and runtimes.
• Managing Rich Clients using the Portal server
  You can enable your Lotus Expeditor Client workstations to receive configuration information from a WebSphere® Portal server. This allows you to centrally administer your Lotus Expeditor Client environment.
• Managing using another management system
  The client platform provides two models of platform and application management: using the Enterprise Management Agent and the Client Management server, and using the Portal Server to control application layout and provisioning of the applications to the client. If you choose not to use these capabilities, you can use another management system to manage the client platform.
