How to: |
When you install a server, you configure several server properties. After installation, you can configure additional properties using the Web Console.
setup.exe
The Choose Setup Language window opens.
One of three of the following windows opens:
(If your existing 7.7 installation is a client, this option installs and configures your first server instance, not an additional one.)
The Software License Agreement window opens. Continue with Step 6.
The installation begins without prompting you for parameters.
When installation is finished, the Setup Complete window opens.
For a server, select Start Server Workspace and Web Console and click Finish to exit the setup program. Continue with Verifying Server Installation.
For a client, select Start Client Workspace and Web Console and click Finish to exit the setup program. For more information, see the Client and Connector Installation and Configuration manual.
The Software Registration window opens. Skip to Step 7.
You will get new server software (or new client software, if you selected a client directory). It will retain the existing configuration information.
The refresh begins without prompting you for parameters.
When the refresh is finished, the Setup Complete window opens.
For a server, select Start Server Workspace and Web Console and click Finish to exit the setup program. Continue with Verifying Server Installation.
For a client, select Start Client Workspace and Web Console and click Finish to exit the setup program. For more information, see the Client and Connector Installation and Configuration manual.
The Software Registration window opens.
The license key is printed on a form included with the software and should be saved for future reference. You must include the hyphens.
The License Key determines which product you are installing, such as a Full-Function Server, a WebFOCUS Reporting Server, or a DataMigrator Server. Default settings, such as folder names, are determined by the license key. The screens that follow are for a Full-Function Server.
Click OK to correct the key.
For more information, see Limiting CPU/Core Use on Machines With Multiple CPUs and Cores.
The next window varies depending on whether there is a 7.7 server currently installed on the computer.
The type of server you are installing determines the program folder default name. You can change the name.
Skip to Step 11.
This will install new server software in a new installation directory (EDAHOME) and enable you to specify new configuration information in a new configuration directory (EDACONF).
This will use the existing server software in your current installation directory (EDAHOME), and enable you to specify new configuration information in a new configuration directory (EDACONF).
This option enables you to run multiple instances of the server, but requires space for just a single set of server software. It also makes maintenance easier, because if you apply upgrades to the server, you need to do so in only one location.
The Select Program Folder window opens:
The type of server you are configuring determines the program folder default name. You can change the name.
Each server program folder name must be unique. If you need to distinguish between multiple instances of a server and want to use the default name, add a suffix (for example, WebFOCUS 77 Server 2).
The setup program adds this new folder to the Windows Start menu, and creates a new Windows service with the same name as the folder.
The Select the Standard Location Prompt window opens.
Using a drive is standard. Using a shared network folder makes the Data Management Console available to remote users. Choose the drive option, unless you are installing a DataMigrator Server, in which case you can choose either option. For more information, see Choosing Between Private and Shared Access to the Data Management Console.
The Select Directories window opens.
*\ibi\srv77*\home*
If you are installing a new server, accept the default directory, or specify a different directory. The new server software will be placed in this directory.
If you are configuring an additional server instance, using your existing server software, accept the default EDAHOME directory. If several 7.7 installation directories exist, select the one that corresponds to the server for which you are configuring a new instance.
If you changed the EDAHOME value, the default EDACONF value changes to conform to EDAHOME.
EDACONF must be in the same srv77 path as EDAHOME. The lowest-level EDAHOME directory (home) becomes the server type directory in EDACONF. For example, if EDAHOME is
ibi\srv77\home
then EDACONF for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server defaults to:
ibi\srv77\wfs
Each server instance must have its own configuration directory. If you are configuring an additional server instance, be sure to append characters to the default name of the server type directory. (Otherwise, the installation will overwrite the existing configuration directory.) For example:
ibi\srv77\wfs2
Accept the default value, or click Browse, or type a name to specify a different directory.
Accept the default value, or click Browse to select a different directory.
Accept the default value, or click Browse to select a different directory.
The Configure Basic Server Information window opens.
Note that if you leave the password blank, or if you enter an incorrect password, the server will start in safe mode. For more information about starting in safe mode, see Troubleshooting for Windows.
You can change the ID and the password after installation using the Web Console.
If you are configuring multiple server instances, be sure to specify a different range of ports for each server instance.
The default port automatically varies by product to support multiple servers on a particular computer:
For a Full-Function Server, 8101 is the default value, which reserves ports 8101-8103.
For a WebFOCUS Reporting Server, 8121 is the default value, which reserves ports 8121-8123.
For a DataMigrator Server, 8117 is the default value, which reserves ports 8117-8119.
For a Shared Application Server (for WebFOCUS Maintain), 8113 is the default, which reserves ports 8113-8115.
If you are configuring multiple server instances, be sure to specify a different port for each server instance.
The default port varies by product to support multiple servers on a particular computer:
For a Full-Function Server, 8100 is the default value.
For a WebFOCUS Reporting Server, 8120 is the default value.
For a DataMigrator Server, 8116 is the default value.
For a Shared Application Server (for WebFOCUS Maintain), 8112 is the default.
The setup program installs software and configures the server using the information you specified. The setup program creates a server program group to receive the program icons for the product. The name of this group is based upon the server product that was installed.
When the installation completes, the Setup Complete window opens.
You should now verify your installation, as described in Verifying Server Installation.
