Client

Depending on the type of IU, the user has two options:

  • Use the Staging Wizard that creates a Staging Area, and run the installation of the IU from Staging Area.
  • Skip the Staging Wizard and Staging Area and directly run the installation for one IU by its setup.exe file.

Note that most of the IUs must be installed using the Staging Wizard.

Using a Staging Area, log files can be found in the following location:

  • <Staging Area>\Logging files\<environment>

    Where <Staging Area> refers to the directory where the Staging Area is located.

    In the other case, log files can be found in the following location:

  • %TEMP%\Baan Setup\<environment>

    Where %TEMP% refers to the directory name of the windows variable TEMP.

In the log directories, you can also find the file BaanERPClient.info. The BaanERPClient.info file contains the settings that the installation user has chosen. As soon as the user defines an environment and a destination for the installation, the Installation Wizard will check the system for an existing installation.

If the file $BSE/lib/install/BaanERPServer.info is found, the settings are copied from the server to the client to the file BaanERPClient.info. After the copy from the server, all configuration settings are stored in files BaanERPServer.info and BaanERPClient.info. The BaanERPServer.info file overrules BaanERPClient.info file. The same applies for the BaanERPServer.log, the BaanERPClient.log files, and the ExistingIUs.info files.

Note

Client files can be freely removed, but Infor does not recommend this unless you encounter severe errors that can be related to settings in BaanERPClient.info.
