System Requirements
To run the web server you will need Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). This is
currently the only web server supported. To host the database, you will need any one of
these database tools: (1) Microsoft SQL Server, (2) Microsoft SQL Server Desktop
Edition, (3) Oracle, or (4) Microsoft Access. Also for the web service to run, the
Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework will need to be installed.
In the following install instructions, it is assumed that you are using Microsoft SQL
Server (full or desktop edition). This is the only database that the install supports. If you
are using any other database, you will need to setup it manually. The SQL scripts are
included copied to the install folder so you may use them to create you database.
Setting up the server component
The Enterprise Server package is made up of two pieces: a web service and database.
The web service runs on a server machine that is publicly available to all clients. The
server machine may even be in the Internet to allow worldwide access. Two prerequisite
applications must be running on the server for the Enterprise Server to function
properly. The first is Microsoft Internet Information Server. This will serve as the
container that hosts the web pages of the web service. The website listens for and
responds to requests sent by client applications. The second application is Microsoft
SQL Server. This application hosts the database that is necessary to store the
information about the schedule.
Note:
If you installed IIS after you installed the .NET framework or Visual Studio.NET, you
need to perform some additional steps. The ASPX pages will not run in this condition.
Run the following command line.
"C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe" –I
This will remap IIS to use the .NET framework. This assumes the default location for the
.NET 1.1 framework. Afterwards, reregister the file “Aspnet_isapi.dll” with the application
“regsvr32.exe”.
Running the Setup Application
To setup the Enterprise Server, you need to locate and run the installation application
named “GbEnterpriseServer.exe”. It allows you to create the website and database but
does not include the Enterprise Server functionality. The install wizard will prompt you
for information on how to configure your server. You are prompted for information
necessary to setup the server.
