Preparing workstations for Analysis Studio and iBase

With the i2 Analyze server and at least one connector in place, you can switch your attention to preparing the client workstations. Each workstation needs iBase and the Analyst's Notebook desktop client. If you have it, you can also install the Export-to-iBase plug-in.

On all workstations from which users will access connectors and use their data with iBase, you must complete the following tasks:

1. Install iBase, if it is not already installed.

2. Install the Analyst's Notebook desktop client, or upgrade to it from Analyst's Notebook.

3. Start the Analyst's Notebook desktop client, and ensure that the connection to the iBase database is working correctly.

4. Ensure that you can log in to the i2 Analyze server that you deployed from the Analyst's Notebook desktop client, and that you can successfully run External Searches.

5. Finally, install the Export-to-iBase plug-in.

At this point, you can move on the final part of the deployment process, which is to configure the Export-to-iBase plug-in for the best user experience.
