Installing and Configuring SupportingSoftwareThis appendix provides information about software that you use in conjunction with StarTeam:• Synchronizing workstation clocks• Adobe Acrobat Reader• Java runtime environmentSynchronizing Workstation ClocksThe computers that run application clients and the Server must have their dates and times synchronized. Manyfeatures of the application depend on calculations involving times and dates. In particular, labels, configurations,and promotion states are all governed by time and date calculations.Important: If the client and server are not kept synchronized, a number of operations (such as checkout,file status displays, or label creation) might fail or produce inaccurate results.Therefore, you should use whatever service your network server supports for synchronizing all workstationclocks. For example, Windows network users can execute the following command to synchronize theirworkstation time with the computer on which the Server is installed:net time \\server_name /set /yesIn this example, you would replace server_name with the machine name or IP address of the networkcomputer running the Server.Adobe Acrobat ReaderThe primary documentation for the StarTeam product line is delivered in Adobe’s Portable Document Format(.pdf), and can be viewed with version 7.0 or later of Adobe’s free Acrobat Reader.
