2. Clients with local databases
 
Test at the InkZoneMove client
After changing the firewall setup on the server, every IZM client (192.168.1.2. etc) is able to  access remotely the servers couchdb configuration through a web browser, like:
http://SERVER_IP:5984/_utils/config.html   (replace SERVER_IP with the real ip address)
username       inkzone
password       testing
 
You should see the couchdb data from the server database.
 
Setup InkZoneMove at the client PC
Set in “Central database/Spot Colours/IZTVI/Report” the server IP address and enable Pull and Push data.
Every new spot color is automatically propagated to the server database from where all other IZMove clients pull the spot color data to their local database.
 
Important
After creating a new spot color targetset, like “Pantone coated”, restart the clients IZMove to get it visualized in the client IZMove.
 
Note
The restart is not required after a new spot colors has been created, the restart applies only for targetset creation.
 
Verify replication status on client
a)
On the client open the link
http://localhost:5984/_utils/database.html?_replicator
to see the replication status page:
b)
 
Click on “inkzone-spots-pull”
 
c)
 
1)     Should say “triggered”
2)     Source address points to the IZM database server
