Epsilon Configuration Before using Epsilon 2.0, you need to verify your language and database settings. The next section will walk you through the steps of the Epsilon Configuration should this be necessary.
Launch Epsilon Configuration Double click the Epsilon Configuration Icon from the desktop.
Data File Pathing After choosing Epsilon Configuration you will be presented with this window: By default, the Database Source is set to NA Epsilon Database and the location of the database is set to C:\AGCO\PartData\. In order for Epsilon to function properly with North American AGCO price files, it needs to know where these are located. If this copy of Epsilon is being set up as a network client, you will want to change this location to read the files from the server. Use the icon to open the ‘Set Directory’ window and select the appropriate location from the network. Finally, make sure the Prices section is set to the correct currency (US or Canada). Note that network shared files not accessible via a mapped network drive can be manually typed into the database location field. Contact DSS at 800.225.6782 if you need help configuring your data file pathing.
Language Setting Choose the correct Language. English (US) is the default setting. Note: There are two English settings. If you would like Epsilon to be presented in North American English, be sure that English (US) is selected to ensure that the correct data is used.

Using Booksync Scheduler Epsilon 2.0’s Booksync takes advantage of the Microsoft Windows application ‘Task Scheduler’ which requires certain security be in place for all jobs started by ‘Task Scheduler.’ Your settings depend on your pc’s specific security set-up. There are two basic configurations: a server or stand-alone workstation that requires a password when booting up to log on, and a server or stand-alone workstation that does not require a password when booting up to log on. There are 3 components that must be addressed. They are: 1. Modifying Epsilon library configurations. 2. Enabling the creation of Epsilon Catsync in the Task Scheduler. 3. Verifying that Epsilon Booksync is running as expected.
If you are configuring Booksync on systems that do NOT require passwords at login, follow instructions on pages 24 - 26.
If you are configuring Booksync on systems REQUIRING a password at login, skip to pages 27 - 29.
If neither of these scenarios applies to you, or if you are unsure of your configuration, contact DSS at 800.225.6782 for assistance.
