Client workstations access the Training Company through your local local area network. A DBA Manufacturing Client gets installed on each client workstation to provide start menu access, desktop icons, and a database engine.
WARNING: Do not use wireless connections
Wireless connections are more susceptible to brief interruptions that can cause DBA to lose its connection to the server. This will result in disconnection errors, access violations, or an unusable DBA session.
NOTE: If you wish to furnish a PC with a wireless connection, it must be set up as a remote desktop workstation (see Remote Access).
Do Not Run the DBA Client Across a VPN
Do not run a DBA client directly across a VPN connection to the DBA server.
A VPN extends the network connection over the internet, introducing latency and the possibility of interruptions that can affect DBA performance and database connectivity.
Instead, use Remote Desktop or Remote Desktop Services to connect to a computer located on the same network as the DBA database server, and run DBA from that computer
Client installation is only required on a one-time basis
Even though the the Training Company will be removed and re-installed with each new product build, client installation does not get removed and remains in place so that workstations have access to all subsequent installations.
