Re: [SourceJammer-users] basic questions for sourcejammer

[Albert Moliner]

Hello. I am not Rob, bit I'll try to help a bit.   If the problem is that someone is mischievingly modifying some files, you should separate the server from the client. Having them on the same machine is possible, but the "pirate" may change the files anywhere unless you configure the file permissions with a lot of care (which is more easily done in a Unix box than a Windows). If users can only access the server via SJ (whatever its OS is), and each one has a private password, you could know who has changed what by watching the file history details.   About the JRE/SDK versions, they must be explained somewhere, but 1.4.1 should be alright for both, JRE in the clients and SDK in the server (to run the Tomcat or application server).   I haven't answer all your questions, but I hope that it's been useful to consider having the server and clients in different computers, security being an issue for you.

The only software we use is basic AutoCAD 2002 with no third party add-ons. Upgrade to 2006 is imminent. I intend to use Sourcejammer as a tool for monitoring the use / abuse of files current held on a LAN server. I have assumed that once the system is installed I will be able to regularly monitor the access to files and identify the users and the dates and times of access. Operating System windows XP service pack 2 I have read your Quick Start Guide and require a couple of clarifications.   1. Can I use my PC for all monitoring activities? 2. Can my PC be the server and the client ? 3. Do I have to download ALL of the stipulated programs on my PC. 4. Do the programs have to be in separate directories or the same? 5. Or does the server program have to be downloaded to the LAN server? 4. You also mention both Java SDK and JRE which have to be downloaded. Which do I require on my PC and which on the server (if applicable).   I have to admit that this is confusing me somewhat and the company management are, not surprisingly, reluctant to let me loose on the LAN server. I am sure the answers I require are simple but if you require any further technical information please contact me immediately.   Best Regards,   Derek C Gibson CADD Manager Penspen International Ltd., Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates.
