Introduction

Intended for experienced Sage, V1 and fully trained partners only, this is a guide for installing the server components for EDD, EDM and PIA with DbCapture.

As with most client installations, you have several ways to deploy them, the following details your options, choose which is best for your implementation.

Via the setup program

Best suited to a customer with a requirement to only install a small number of clients:

If your client machine has direct access to the V1 Server where the setup program was installed (via a network share for instance) you can install them from here.

1. Open File Explorer and browse to the share location / mapped drive
2. Run the setup.exe as administrator
3. When prompted, select Client Installation, click Next >
4. You are prompted for the location of the server, enter it and click Test
5. A list of Clients you are licensed to install is returned, tick the box next to the one you wish to install
6. Click Install, all clients selected are installed in one go
7. When completed, close the setup program.

Manually

Best suited to a customer with a requirement to only install a small number of clients:

1. Open File Explorer and browse to the share location / mapped drive of the EDMR14 un-compressed components
2. Open Clients
3. Run the ConfigHttpsSetup.MSi
4. Click Next >
5. Confirm the desired installation directory, click Next >
6. Enter the fully qualified URL of NIS (i.e. http://MYSERVER123:6181) and the HTTP Proxy URL (http://MYSERVER123:3001) including port numbers and http / https
7. Enter the directory where you will be installing the V1 clients
8. Click Next >
9. Enter the DNS / IP address of the DbLogin Server
10. Enter the port that the DbLogin Server is installed against, this is 32000 by default
11. Click Next >
12. Tick SSL certificate if the V1 server has been configured for HTTPS
13. Tick self signed if the certificate bound to the server is self signed
14. Click Next > and install the MSi.
15. Browsing to the same location, run the remaining client MSi's as per your requirements and follow the on-screen instructions (in most cases, agreeing to the defaults is fine.)

Automatic Install for use with Group Policy / Third Party client deployment

Best suited to a customer with a requirement to install a large number of clients:

In a command prompt window (ran as administrator) go to the location of the ConfigHttpsSetup.MSI.

Enter ConfigHttpsSetup.msi /q with the following arguments (space between each one):

• HttpType=”HTTP” or HttpType=”HTTPS” – This defines if SSL is being used to secure the communications
• V1Directory=”[DirectoryPath]” - Path to V1 Client Directory e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\V1
• NisURL=”[NisURL]” – NIS URL e.g. https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6181
• ProxyURL=”[ProxyURL]” – Proxy Server URL e.g. https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3001
• DbLoginServer=”[ DbLoginServerName]”-Dblogin ServerName
• DbLoginServerPort=”[ DbLoginServerPort]”-DbLogin Port
• TrustedCertificate=”true” or TrustedCertificate=”false” – If the certificate is not self-signed then this is true otherwise it’s false.

A simple example of this would look like (all on one line):

ConfigHttpsSetup.msi /q HttpType="HTTPS" V1Directory="C:\Program Files (x86)\V1" NisURL="https://localhost:6181" ProxyURL="https://localhost:3001" DbLoginServerName="localhost" DbLoginServerPort="32000" TrustedCertificate="false"

All other V1 application msi files can be installed using "/qn“ switch. The "/qn" tells MSIEXEC not to display any GUI (and would also be used on any other components being deployed automatically).

Example = DBLoginAdminConsole.msi /qn

Via the SmartSuite

Some of the clients can be installed directly from the SmartSuite to 'self-serve'.

1. Using your web-browser of choice, login in to the V1 SmartSuite
2. Click Software Download
3. Click Refresh Files to 'pull down' the clients from the server
4. Click HTTP Config Utility, it will be downloaded to your local PC, navigate to this location and following the above section for Manually as a guide, install it.
5. Once installed, click the clients you wish to install from the SmartSuite UI.
