Note

Note: If you are installing the client tools on a different machine from your PostgreSQL instance, you will need to must change the database entry in the configuration file /etc/alexandria.xml, e.g., the default should reflect the host (IP address) of your PostgreSQL instance. If you added a password for user alexandria (or changed user at all), you would modify @usermust modify @user/@password entries as well. For example, if your PostgreSQL instance is running on 10.234.211.3, the configuration entry would will look like this:

Code Block
languagetext
<database name="alexandria" host="10.234.211.3" port="5432" user="alexandria" password="alexandria">
      <atts pg_errorlevel="0" AutoCommit="1" RaiseError="1" PrintError="0" LongTruncOk="0" LongReadLen="10485760" />
     </database>


...

Note

Note: See Processing Server for a list of the parameters available. For example, to maintain the supplemental tables required for on-site family and citation functionality, you must add --api, e.g., CD_OTHER_OPTIONS='--api'.
