Installing the Borland Database Engine

The Borland Database Engine (BDE) is Borlandʹs native data access engine. LenStar uses this feature to reduce our reliance on third‐party software.

Important The BDE must be installed on each computer that runs the latest version of Order Entry. By running the registry updates on each user computer, that computer can access the BDE that is located on the server instead of having a local copy installed.

This installation is required to allow our customers requiring multiple instances (more than 5) of any updated, MSP or MortgageServ‐compatible version of Order Entry at any given point in the business day. Therefore, all of our clients with MSP or MortgageServ and LenStar must upgrade their servers with this package.

Included in this package is the BDE.zip file. This file contains the install package, registry settings, and the application (with source) that updates the registry on usersʹ computers.

The following files are included in the BDE.zip file:

BDEInfoSetup.exe—executable that installs the full BDE.

BDESettings.reg—the registry settings that are affected by the BDE.

Bdedeploy.txt—file contains a list of DLL files that will be installed.

Install.dpr—Delphi source for application that updates registry entries on user PCs.

Default.ini—file that contains the BDE setting to be applied on each computer.

Install.exe—application to update BDE registry settings.

This installation includes the following tasks:

Installing the Borland Database Engine Server

Installing the User Desktop



Installing the Borland Database Engine ServerTo install the Borland Database Engine Server

Note The BDE folder should be shared.

3 Double‐click the BDE.zip file.

The Winzip program has the BDEInfoSetup.EXE and the other files needed for the installation opens.

Installing the User DesktopImportant In order to install the user desktop, you must have Administrator rights on the machine in which you are installing the user desktop.

To install the User Desktop

1 Using a text editor like Notepad, open the default.ini file located in the Len‐Star\BDE folder.

2 Change the DLLPATH and CONFIGFILE01 entries to reflect the UNC file path where you installed the server. For example: \\servername\LenStar\BDE

Figure 8: The default.ini File

3 Save the default.ini file and close the file.

4 Copy the default.ini file and install.exe files to the LenStar folder found on each user workstation. These workstations use the Order Entry component of LenStar.

Note If this installation is for a new user desktop, the baseline LenStar files are installed first during implementation.

5 Double‐click the install.exe file on the user workstation.

6 Select File > Open BDE INI File.
