Latam setup
Latam - Legal Accounting and Matter manager
Latam data files (c:\latam)
1. Copy the Latam directory containing the data files (c:\latam) from another computer. NB this is the quick way to set up the data files but it is fatal if you do not follow the steps set out below. Otherwise, the user of the computer will almost certainly overwrite someone else’s time lines.
Time line sequence numbers and system control
Merging logic
Mergenod.dat
5. This text file contols the merging of latam data. It is stored in the user's latam directory (c:\latam). It is via this file that a user’s time lines are transferred to the accounts department.
6. The office merge path is f:\merges. Create a directory (in this example) called
f:\merges\ws20.
7. Change mergenod.dat (eg with notepad.exe) to point to correct merge path for the user.
Example
%%$n1
%% Node ID Receive path Transfer path
%%
WS20 f:\MERGES f:\MERGES\WS20
