What's Good About ADW’s Configuration Manager? Look to 16.6 and See!

12 Feb 2013 • 1 minute read

The 16.6 Allegro Design Workbench (ADW) Configuration Manager has been enhanced!

There is an enhanced focus on software serviceability and an improved ease of use environment for managing:

  • Software updates & version status
  • Configuration Files & Database updates
  • Single cockpit to monitor global server topology
    • Easy to use dashboard for Server connection status
  • Server topology

A new ADW Server Setup Wizard provides the ability to quickly install the server and clients.


The Sever Management Tools provide:
–    New server set up wizard
–    Start/stop server
–    Server status logs


You can now setup a schedule for Library Distribution and Distribution status monitoring.

Here are the various options when you select Configure Library Distribution:

 


As always, I look forward to your comments!
