If you have a central Knowledgebase Server installed, other machines need only the client in order to execute workflows. A client-only install can be performed that will not install a Knowledgebase Server.
To do this, use an omenvironment.properties file. If you installed Meister on another machine, such as the Knowledgebase Server, an omenvironment.properties file is created. On Windows, this is created in the “%APPDATA%\openmake” folder, while on UNIX and Linux, it is created in the $HOME/.openmake directory.
You may use an existing omenvironment.properties from another machine or create one from scratch. The required entries in omenvironment.properties are shown below, along with example values:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12
OPENMAKE_HOME=C:\Program Files\DDS\client
OPENMAKE_SERVER=https://aslan:58080/openmake
REFDIR=C:\Program Files\DDS\examples\ref
PERLLIB=C:\Program Files\DDS\client\perl\lib
Be sure the values are correct for the machine. Copy or save omenvironment.properties to the same directory as the Meister executable and then launch it.
