Vapor Application Example

To begin with, we have 6 PCs, M1 through M6, that we want to use to run a recently-completed VTS application called Vapor. Since this is an example, we can make the following assumptions before proceeding:

      Identical versions of VTS have already been installed on each PC.

      Identical versions of Vapor have already been installed on each PC.

      There is only one intermediate OEM[x] directory (OEM layer) on each PC.

      Security settings and RPC information are both stored in SecurityManager.ini (i.e. \RPCExternalConfig is set to 1).

The first assumption is particularly important because we can then assert that each machine will have an identical copy of the VTS\SecurityManager.ini file. The last two assumptions greatly simplify what follows.
