Installing the Client Tools
The Spectrum™ Technology Platform client tools are applications that you use to administer your server and design and run dataflows and process flows. You must install your Spectrum™ Technology Platform server before installing the client tools.
Before installing, be sure to read the release notes. The release notes contains a
list of known issues, important compatibility information, and release-specific
installation notes.
This procedure describes how to install the following client tools:
- Enterprise Designer— Use Enterprise Designer to create, modify, and run dataflows.
- Job Executor—Job Executor is a command line tool that allows you to run a job from a command line or script. The job must have been previously created and saved on Spectrum™ Technology Platform using Enterprise Designer.

- Administration Utility—The Administration Utility provides command line access to several administrative functions. You can use it in a script, allowing you to automate certain administrative tasks. You can also use it interactively.
