Documentation
Your IDES system also includes the latest version of the IDES online documentation. The newest version of this IDES online documentation is stored in the shared folders of client 800, together with the corresponding installation instructions. If the Release of your IDES system is not the same as the Release of the IDES online documentation, it could be that some of the IDES scenarios do not run properly. If this is the case, you should inform your system administrator.

Additional Software Components

Some of the scenarios in the IDES system contain third-party software. If, for example, you want to run or analyze scenarios that use Internet components, you will need to install additional modules or objects. You can find all of the necessary components, and the corresponding installation guidelines, in the shared folders of the IDES system, client 800. Contact your system administrator if any components are unavailable, or if any errors occur.
