EMONITOR Odyssey Installation Notes
Check this List Before You Begin
Here is a list of things you need to do before you begin installing EMONITOR Odyssey.

Hardware Key – Attach the hardware key to the parallel port.
The Hardware Key gives information to EMONITOR Odyssey to insure that you are running a legal copy
of the software. This key should be attached to the back of any computer that runs EMONITOR Odyssey.

CD Activation Key – Find the CD Activation key on the back of your CD jewel case.
The CD Activation Key is an alpha-numeric code in the format: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx. This key tells
the installation program which components you have requested, and automatically sets up the installation
for those components. So, if you simply choose the Next button through the installation program, you
install all the requested components from the CD key. For complete flexibility, you are also allowed to pick
and choose from those components.

Available Disk Space – Check your available disk space.
Disk space requirements vary depending on which components you need to install. The installation
program shows you exactly how much space is needed for each component. For a guideline, EMONITOR
Odyssey with two data collector interfaces requires 42 megabytes (MB) of disk space. EMONITOR
Odyssey with all Online components requires an additional 16.5 MB of disk space, for a total of 68.5 MB.
There are additional disk space requirements depending on your database setup. Be sure to check with your
database administrator about these requirements and backing up your database.

Specific Database Versions – Be sure you have the 32-bit version of the database software installed.
Before installing EMONITOR Odyssey, you have to make sure the database version works with
EMONITOR Odyssey. You might need to consult with your database administrator to verify which version
of the database you are using. This table shows the minimum database versions supported with
EMONITOR Odyssey. If you need to install a new version, ask your database administrator.

Database software
Version

Installation CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive of a
networked computer and do the installation just as
described above. Select the check box next to Odyssey
Administrator Installation. Choose only Odyssey
Administrator Installation and choose Next to continue.
Choose Next to continue through the rest of the
installation. At the Destination Folder choice, choose a
shared directory to access the Setup.exe file later.
Finish the installation and restart the computer when asked. You can now run the Setup.exe file from any networked
computer. You have to map the networked drive in order for the Installation program to recognize it.
Installing Minimum Components to Run from a Remote Computer
This installation allows you to run EMONITOR Odyssey using only minimum components on a networked
computer. This lets you install EMONITOR Odyssey to a computer that may not have much hard drive space. The
program runs on a separate computer, which may slow down the process.
To accomplish this, insert the EMONITOR Odyssey
Installation CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive of a
networked computer and do the installation just as
described above. Select the check box next to Odyssey
Remote EMONITOR User Installation. Choose Next to
continue.

Choose Next to continue through the rest of the
installation. At the Destination Folder choice, choose the
directory that contains the epm.exe program.
Finish the installation and restart the computer when asked. You can now run EMONITOR Odyssey from a remote
computer.
Troubleshooting Tips
Client-server applications like EMONITOR Odyssey can be complicated. This section is provided to give you a
guide if things don’t go quite right the first time.

You can install any component of an online system to any computer in the system, whether it’s an Unload
Station or an Analysis Station or a combination of the two.

When you restart your computer after installing, Unload Station Manager and Scheduler automatically start
up because they are in your Start Up folder. You can modify your Start Up folder by right-clicking the
Start button and choosing Explore. Open the Programs folder, then open the Start Up folder. It contains
shortcuts to the programs that automatically start when you start your computer.

In order to install the program on a computer running Windows NT, you have to have administrator rights.
You might have to ask your computer staff to give you administrator rights in order to install EMONITOR
Odyssey.

If your computer crashes or gets turned off in the middle of the installation program, your uninstall files
will not work. You must delete these files from your Windows or WinNT directory if a crash happens and
you want your unistall files to work.

Missing or Invalid Security Key on AMD K-6 Boards
If you get an error message similar to the one shown below, first check to make sure your hardware key is attached
to the parallel port.
If the key is firmly attached, there may be a problem with the timing of the messages sent from the software to the
hardware key. We have discovered that this error can occur when using an AMD K-6 board. To correct this
problem, follow these steps to change the timing of the message sent between Odyssey and the hardware key.

1.
Go to your Odyssey program directory and run Eregedit.exe. The following screen appears.
2.
Scroll down and choose Security Key Timing Value P and choose Edit, or double-click on the selection. The
following dialog box appears.
3.
Enter the following in the New Value field:
100.
4.
Choose OK. The following dialog box appears. Choose Yes.
Note: These are just test values to make sure that you have the timing problem. This timing change will slow your
entire system down while this setting is in place. Your mouse and keyboard are also affected by this timing change.
These are only test values however, which you will change until they are correct.
5.
Repeat steps 2–4 for Security Key Timing Value I and Security Key Timing Value O.
6.
Try to run EMONITOR Odyssey. You should no longer get the security key error message. This confirms that
timing is the problem with the security key.
7.
Next, change the test values to smaller numbers. Our tests show that 40, 40, 60 are values that work well for the
AMD K-6 processor. The goal is to make the number as small as possible but large enough to allow Odyssey to
recognize the hardware key. This may take several tries with smaller numbers.

EMONITOR Odyssey Database Update
If you are updating from a 2.6x database or a previous version of EMONITOR Odyssey, your database must be
updated to work with the current version of EMONITOR Odyssey. These sections show how to update your
database version to the latest EMONITOR Odyssey database.
Only a Database Administrator (DBA) or qualified Entek IRD employee should modify the scripts and run
the scripts on the database. (The DBA is usually a member of the company’s MIS or IT department.)
Modify the Oracle Database Scripts
These script files improve allocation control over the tablespaces in the EMONITOR Odyssey database by allowing
you to put indexes and tables in separate tablespaces. This section discusses the script names and the changes to be
made to the scripts.
There are two script files located in the EMONITOR Odyssey program directory in the Restruct directory. The
default directory is: \Program Files\Entek IRD\Odyssey\Restruct. These files are also included on the Odyssey
installation CD. If you copy the files from the CD, you must change the attributes from Read-Only so that you can
modify the file.
The first script file is named 26x.ora. This script updates the database version from 2.6x to Odyssey Version 1.0.
You use this script first if you are updating from 2.6x, then you use the second script file. The second script file is
named 407.ora. This script takes the database version from Odyssey Version 1.0 to Odyssey Service Pack 1 version.
You use only the 407.ora script file if your database is already Odyssey Version 1.0. To upgrade to Odyssey
Version 1.1 from Service Pack 1, you use 408.ora script file.
Script name
Purpose
263.ora
Update from 2.6x to Odyssey Version 1.0
407.ora
Update from Odyssey Version 1.0 to Odyssey Service Pack 1
408.ora
Update from Odyssey Service Pack 1 to Odyssey Version 1.1
410.ora
Update from Odyssey Version 1.1 to Odyssey Version 1.2
Edit the script files to match current tablespace names
You may need to modify the script files to match the tablespace names to your current database structure. The
tablespace that contains the tables is called ENTEKD. If you need to change the name, do a search and replace in the
script files. The tablespace that contains the indexes is called ENTEKI. Again, do a search and replace if you need to
change the name to match your current database.
Rename the script, changing the extension
You must rename the extension on the script file so that the Restructure program knows to run that script. Rightclick on the file in Windows Explorer and choose Rename. Change the extension to .sql on the scripts that apply to
your database version.
The Restructure program automatically runs when you start EMONITOR Odyssey for the first time. If you do not
rename the script file before starting EMONITOR Odyssey, the Restructure program tells you that it cannot find the
correct file(s).
Run the Restructure Program
After you have modified the script, start EMONITOR Odyssey by pointing to it on the Start menu. The Restructure
program begins after you select OK. The restructure process may take a long time, and it may appear that nothing is
happening. Be patient and allow Restructure to finish. After Restructure has completely updated your database, you
can begin using EMONITOR Odyssey.
