I just installed, how do I get started?

BlueSky Integration Studio is a client/server based application which requires you to connect to a server. There are two different servers, the Personal Server and the Enterprise Server.

1. The first thing you need to do is to ensure that one of the BlueSky Integration Studio servers has been started. *Note, you cannot run both the Personal server and the Enterprise server at the same time, on the same machine.
Personal Server: Execute the Personal Server program either by double-clicking the icon, or selecting the menu item. Once it starts you will see the icon in the task bar. The personal server will remain running as long as the program is running, or until you click the Close menu option by right-clicking on the task bar icon.
Enterprise Server: The enterprise server typically runs on a server based system as a set of Windows services, however the enterprise server can also be run on a PC under Windows 2000 or XP. Simply ensure that the services have been started. You can start the services by executing the BlueSky Integration Studio Service control application, or by going to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services and simply starting them yourself.
2. Once your server has been started, you can execute the BlueSky Integration Studio designer and log in! The default user name after installation is administrator, default password is manager.
Personal Server: If you have started the Personal Server, you would enter 'localhost' into the Server name field on the log in dialog box.
Enterprise Server: If you started an enterprise server, simply enter the DNS name, or TCP/IP address of the server where the Enterprise server services are running.
3. Typically the first thing you'll want to do is create your metadata. This is the process in which you can import your table definitions that you'll be using to create your first job(s). This is accomplished through the View->Administrator screen and clicking the Metadata Manager icon. To import your table definitions see Metadata Manager. This is of course an optional step, you can always hand-type your table layouts.
4. The next step is to begin designing jobs. The Quick Start Guide is a great place to start learning the basics!
