 6 Online Parts Catalog™ Data DVD

2 Overview

The Parts Catalog Tool Suite consists of the following:

Online Parts Catalog™ Applications

· Online Parts Catalog™ (OPC Program)
The OPC program is used to view data from either:
A. Online Parts Catalog™ Internet Version (OPC).
This is data accessed through the Internet.
B. Online Parts Catalog™ Data DVD (OPC Data DVD)
This is data installed on your network or local computer.

· Customer Parts Catalog - CPC (linked from the Brand or Dealer websites)

This document discusses the OPC Data DVD only. For

information on either the OPC program or CPC, please contact the
Dealer Help Desk.

Do you have an icon on your desktop that

looks like the one to the right?
If YES, you can proceed to section 2.
If NO, you will first need to install the OPC program
from one of the following locations:
Run \Application\launcher.
exe from Disk 1 of the OPC
Data DVD. (make sure you choose the
launcher.exe from the Application folder. The
launcher.exe file under the root directory of the
DVD drive will launch the installation for the
OPC Data DVD instead)

or

From the OPC website at

https://webparts.
pvassociates.net/cnh/ (In order to
access the installation program, you will need
to have a Login Name and Password for the
OPC website. If you do not have a Login Name
and Password click on New Dealer Signup to
signup. More information on the OPC website
can be found in the OPC program instruction
guide found on Disk 1 of the OPC Data DVD
under the \Docs\Installation_Guides folder)

© 2008
 Overview 7

This guide will walk you through installing the data DVDs and configuring the OPC
program to use the Data from the DVDs.

· The OPC program software on the DVD may be older than the software available in
the OPC website. We recommend you install the software from the OPC website to
ensure each computer will have access to new features and functionality as they are
introduced.
· If you do not have access to the OPC program via the desktop icon, install the OPC
program from Disk 1 of the OPC Data DVD first. Use the instructions provided on disk
1 under \Docs\Installation Guides. For information on installing the OPC program,
please see the OPC program instruction guide found on Disk 1 of the OPC Data DVD
under the \Docs\Installation_Guides folder.

Exam ple of the OPC program Hom e Page

If you are not able to open the program and see the OPC program Home Page, you can
still install the program after the data install is complete.

3 Before You Begin

Before installing the Online Parts Catalog™ Data DVD there are a few steps to review
to ensure that installation is successful:

· Review all the computers at your dealership where the OPC Data DVD will be
installed to make sure they meet the minimum hardware and operating system
requirements. For information on system requirements, please see the OPC
program instruction guide found on Disk 1 of the OPC Data DVD under the
\Docs\Installation_Guides folder.

· Shut down the OPC program for all users who are currently accessing the
folder where the existing OPC Data DVD is installed.

· Familiarize yourself with your dealership's computer network. Be certain that

you are logged into your dealership's network with 'Administrator' rights (the
ability to read, write, copy, and delete files).

· Make sure your computer's DVD drive is clean and functioning properly.

· Make sure the OPC Data DVDs are clean and are not heavily scratched.

· If you have an interface to your Dealer Management System (DMS), contact

your DMS vendor to verify that you have received the new interface software
and that you know the required settings.

· If you accept the default installation location (\pvdatastore), verify that the folder
does not have a 'Read Only' attribute applied to it.

· Turn off or disable any virus-scanning programs (i.e. McAfee, Norton, etc.) prior
to installing the OPC Data DVD.

· This install does require Microsoft .NET to perform the installation process. If
it is not already installed on the computer you are using, you will be prompted
to install it before you can complete the OPC Data DVD installation. For more
information on the Microsoft .NET install, please see the OPC program
instruction guide found on Disk 1 of the OPC Data DVD under the
\Docs\Installation_Guides folder.
