A: While the software documentation includes
full background and reference information, we
also tried to make it very simple to set up Currency
Server and get familiar with it.
The Currency Server
documentation includes a step-by-step
Up and Running in 5 Minutes section (under Initial
Configuration, in Getting Started).
If you prefer a "hands on" approach, open Currency Server Manager (the administration front-end),
which can quickly be accessed by double-clicking the
Currency Server notification area icon. For a
quick assisted setup go to the Active
Currencies tab and click the Populate
button. Context
help is always available during use of Currency
Server Manager by pressing F1, or by clicking the
Help button, and then the item for which you need
instructions.
After you configure the software, which is a
one-time procedure, follow the remaining
sections
in the Getting Started chapter for code examples,
a quality checklist, and recommendations for maintenance
and administration. This shouldn't take longer than
20 minutes.
As for longer term maintenance and operations, the software was not only designed to be easy
to set up, but it aims to reduce, rather than increase,
the overhead associated with having to deal with
the world of currencies. You will no longer need
to manually import currencies, and you will be alerted in case of events such
as new currencies, lack of changes, or unusual fluctuations.
