Components of a Vector Installation
The system administrator installs and maintains the following principal components or associated family of compatible components:
DBMS Server
X100 Engine
General Communication Facility
Querying and reporting tools
(Optional) Actian Director
Logging and locking systems
An installation also has:
Library files and utilities, provided with the product distribution
Configuration files and error log files, created during installation and at runtime
Databases and their associated files: the checkpoint, journal, dump, and work files, also created during installation and at runtime
The locations of these files are selected at installation time, together with the configuration of the DBMS Servers, the X100 Engine, and the logging and locking systems. For the initial installation, default settings are provided by the system whenever possible.
