Double clicking the setup.exe file in MyDocuments and point the upgrade to your J:\BRO folder on your server.  (Or whatever drive you have used)  Once the upgrade reaches 100%, a final 'Finish' option will be displayed.  Click Finish.


6)  Launching Power Broker 4
If the icon on your desktop points to any other drive other than C:\BRO, double click on your Power Broker icon to begin the automatic data conversion.  If your icon does day C:\BRO and your not sitting at the server, then this may mean that you are using the 'Running on a Large LAN' setup and should click here.

Question:  What if I have a brand new workstation and would like to use Power Broker 4?
WORKSTATION SETUP

• Mapping your workstation
At the workstation, open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, choose Map Network Drive, choose the J: drive, click on browse, and browse to Entire Network, Microsoft Windows Network, the domain or workgroup name, choose the server that Power Broker is loaded on, choose C: drive, then APPS, then OK.  (Check mark in the ' Reconnect at logon ').

• Workstation.exe on your sorkstation
Workstation.exe is a file that needs to be installed at any computer you wish to run Power Broker at.  Since you have just setup a new mapped drive at this workstation, you would now go to Start, Run, click on Browse, in the 'Look in' window at the top left, click on the drop down arrow and choose your J: drive, in the larger window underneath, double click on \BRO, and then find Worstation.exe .  Go through the installation screens.

• Creating an Icon and Naming it on your workstation
With a J:\ drive now in Windows Explorer, you should see a \BRO folder.  Find a file called BROW.EXE, right click on this file, and choose ' Send To Desktop, Create New Shortcut '.  Rename the icon to Power Broker with a capital P and B please and change the icon by right clicking, going to properties, click change icon, browse, and then browse to J:\BRO\POWERBROKER.ICO.

• Running Power Broker for the first time at your workstation
Double click your new Power Broker icon.  A log in screen should appear.  Either hit 'Return' on your keyboard or check the email from a Power Broker representative that would suggest an alternate password to log in with.  Once you log in, you should visit TABLES, USER SECURITY CODES, and setup a new user i.d. with your own private password.




Here is the Quick Version of the Upgrade for you Pros...
1)  Everyone exits Power Broker
2)  Run a full backup of \BRO
