Horst,
Most people prefer their software to be neatly packaged, easy to
install and easy to support.
In order to make this possible, ArgusConnect has adopted a deployment
architecture and procedure that minimises complexity. Having engaged
with you in this tail-chasing exercise, can I simply reassure you that
we will happily add a command-line directive to allow you to do all
these things, and though it may be technically feasible to do what you
ask, it is not something we would want any of our users to do if we
hope to avoid being buried with support calls.
Regards, Andrew

1. ArgusMessenger supports Archiving and Restoring which require the
Interbase program gbak. The program cannot be called using SQL, and must

gbak does not need to be run on the same machine as the Interbase server.
I quote form "man gbak":
---------------------------------------------------
gbak is the tool for managing Firebird database backup and restore.
In backup mode source is an existing database path (may include server
name) and target is backup file name.
---------------------------------------------------
No, you don't use SQL calls to activate it, but you can run gbak on any
machine which has teh Interbase client libraries installed, and point it to
the server.
IN any case, this has nothing at all to do with where I choose to run the
Argus user interface and where I choose to run the server.
2. ArgusMessenger is meant to set up and run services which run in the
background. These services run on the machine on which they were
configured. Since the PKI store which stores your private key is only
created on the hard drive of the server machine, the service needs to be
configured on the same machine.
All the more it makes sense to run it on a headless machine (as I am doing it)
and allow the GUI tools to be run on another machine
If you just tell me how to set up and configure Argus without your GUI tools I
am happy too.
What I got so far:
- Firebird (Interbase) running
- Argus.gdb installed and accessible with isql
- Java installed and working
- HeSA location keys installed (and imported into my local OpenSSL keystore)
so what's the next step if I cannot run your GUI tools (e.g. ArgusMessenger)?
