The System Manager tool is used for several maintenance tasks for DATASCOPE WMS and is a key application that is always required on the DATASCOPE WMS Server. This is the first application that will be installed on the server, prior even to installing DATACOPE WMS. As a like-for-like comparison, this application is very similar to the SYSPRO Deployment tool. The installation process is relatively simple, and it is done in the form of an Agent MSI installer. The Agent is simply a small application that is installed first; this application then downloads and installs the System Manager and, after that keeps it up to date.
