Post-Installation Tasks

Review the following important post-installation tasks:

You can manage your Caché instance using the Management Portal, which is accessible from the Caché Cube. For more information on this management tool, see the “Using the Management Portal” chapter of the Caché System Administration Guide.
Caché installation on Windows names the Windows Caché service with the instance name, using the name from the Define Caché Instance Name dialog box, and configures the service to start automatically when you start your server; this means the Caché instance is automatically configured to autostart (start when the system starts).
You can configure the instance not to autostart by changing the Start Caché on System Boot setting on the Memory and Startup page of the Management Portal (from the home page, select System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Memory and Startup). If this instance is part of a Windows cluster, you must clear this check box to prevent automatic startup, allowing the cluster manager to start Caché.

Note:

You may occasionally need to prevent IRIS from starting with the host system starts while the host system is down (for example during restores). This can only be done at the OS level and is dependent on your configuration.
If you plan to connect remotely to other instances of Caché, follow the procedure described in the Define a Remote Server Connection section of the “Connecting to Remote Servers” chapter of the Caché System Administration Guide.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Caché, see Post-installation Upgrade Tasks in the “Upgrading Caché” chapter of this book.
If you are using the Windows IIS Web server, file types must be mapped manually; for information, see the Web Servers for Microsoft Windows chapter of the CSP Gateway Configuration Guide.
If appropriate for your installation, perform any additional tasks described in the Special Considerations section.
