The first thing to do for a Client/Server application is to correctly configure and start the server. Here's a quick step by step guide to get it setup and running for the examples.

Step 1: Start the server

This is very simple. Just double click the nxServer.exe and you're done

Step 2: Setting up the server and activating it

• Select the Server Engine item from the Database settings on the left hand tree view. The Server Engine configuration displays.
• Make sure that a Server Name is specified and MaxRAM is set to a sensible size. You might also want to change other settings.
• Select the Aliases item from the NexusDB Server main menu. The Alias Configuration window displays.
• Add an alias called Northwind and point it to the directory you've created the db in.
• Now activate the Server modules by selecting Start all modules from the Server menu. You can also (de)activate single modules by selecting the item in the tree view and checking the Active check box on the top of each configuration.

Step 3: Verifying connections

The next step is to verify you can connect to the NexusDB Server using Enterprise Manager on the same machine. Start NexusDB Enterprise Manager and look out for the servers found. If your server name appears your server is set up correctly.
