To make the Oracle Video Server documentation more easily accessible, it is available online. There are two forms of online documentation:
The only documents not available online are the Release Notes and the Quick Reference; these documents are available only in printed form. The Oracle Video Server Utilities Guide and the Oracle Video Server Logger Messages are only available in online form.
The online documentation is installed in the Oracle Video Server in the file C:\ORANT\vs21\doc\ovsdoc.exe (assuming that the ORANT directory is located on the C: drive). You must use these commands to install these files into ORANT\vs21\doc:
c:
cd \ORANT\vs21\doc
ovsdoc.exe -d
This creates two additional directories: ORANT\vs21\doc\html and ORANT\vs21\doc\pdf and installs the documentation files in those directories.
The online documentation is also available directly from the distribution CD-ROM at \ovsdoc\html and \ovsdoc\pdf.
To view the HTML documentation, we recommend you use a browser that supports HTML 2.0 with tables.
When you view the HTML files on an Oracle Video Client Windows machine, you can only read the documentation files from the CD-ROM. These files are in the directory D:\OVSDOC\HTML (if your CD-ROM is drive D:). To read the documentation using an HTML browser, start at the URL:
file:///D:\OVSDOC\HTML\ROADMAP\ROADMAP.HTM
To run a browser on your Oracle Video Server computer, you must first install a browser. You can either use Oracle Power Browser or obtain a web browser from a number of FTP sites.
You can view the documentation that is stored on your server from a browser running on that server. To do this start at the URL:
file:///C:\ORANT\vs21\doc\html\roadmap\roadmap.html
If you need, you can set up an HTTP server and make the documents available to other readers on your internal web.
You can install the Adobe Acrobat reader on both the Oracle Video Server computer and on the Oracle Video Client computer.
The installation files for the Adobe Acrobat reader are in the \ovsdoc directory of both the Oracle Video Server CD-ROM and the Oracle Video Client CD-ROM.
To install the Acrobat reader on a Windows client or server machine:
When you use Adobe Acrobat on an Oracle Video Client Windows machine, you can only read the documentation files from the CD-ROM. These files are in the directory D:\OVSDOC\PDF (if your CD-ROM is drive D:). To read the documentation using Adobe Acrobat, start with the file:
D:\OVSDOC\PDF\ROADMAP.PDF
To read the Adobe Acrobat documentation that is stored on your server, start with the file:
C:\ORANT\vs21\doc\pdf\roadmap.pdf
