How to install E-WMS ASP (release 410 and earlier)
Introduction
This document describes the plan of approach for the initial installation and
configuration of Exact E-WMS (ASP), in release 410 or earlier.
Please refer to
this document for release 411 and higher.
Description
The plan of approach to install E-WMS ASP consists of following steps (click on one of these options to jump to that section):
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply for the installation of E-WMS ASP:
- please read the
E-WMS system requirements
- install
Microsoft Framework 3.5
(Framework 4 without Framework 3.5 is not supported)
- Exact Globe Next installed
(and kept up-to-date) on the IIS server
- E-WMS ASP is a 32-bit ASP application, therefore it requires an
application pool on 64-bit IIS servers
Installing Exact Globe Next with E-WMS
It is mandatory to have Exact Globe Next installed including E-WMS on the server or PC, acting as
WMS IIS server.
This installation can be done according to the general checklist in
Generic checklist for E-WMS/ICL update in Globe network environment.
All required E-WMS parts are always automatically downloaded when downloading the
Exact Globe Next product update (from product update 398).
Installing E-WMS - ASP files
If you are updating from a previous E-WMS ASP version please refer to document
Updating an existing E-WMS ASP environment: points of interest.
If you are installing E-WMS ASP for the first time, create a new folder on the IIS server where the E-WMS IIS files are to be copied, for example
C:\E-WMS\IIS.
The IIS files to install are stored in a ZIP archive after a Globe
workstation update., default that would be file 'C:\Program files\Exact software\Install\E-WMS\Exact.WMS.Web.zip'.
Follow this installation procedure on the IIS server:
- perform the Exact Globe Next workstation update
- if the folder C:\Program files\Exact software\Install\E-WMS\Exact.WMS.Web
still exists, delete it first. The contents of this folder was not updated with the
workstation installation, but still contains extracted files from the previous
update !
- extract the files in C:\Program files\Exact software\Install\E-WMS\Exact.WMS.Web.zip
to the folder C:\Program files\Exact software\Install\E-WMS\Exact.WMS.Web
- make a back-up copy of the current E-WMS IIS folder (copy C:\E-WMS\IIS to "Copy of
C:\WMS\IIS") so you have a copy of any previous changed configuration files
- when updating from a previous WMS ASP version, please note:
- files connections.config will be specific to your environment and need
to be restored from your previous backup, or prevent overwriting with the
update
- copy the contents of the folder C:\Program files\Exact
software\Install\E-WMS\Exact.WMS.Web to the E-WMS IIS folder
Do not extract the files in the ZIP archive directly to the E-WMS IIS folder,
since specific folder rights may be deleted by this action. These rights are
preserved
when using Windows file explorer to copy the new files.
Installation and configuration of Microsoft IIS
This part applies when you are installing E-WMS IIS for the first time, and
when you need to configure Microsoft IIS. The procedure for installation and configuration (also regional settings) of
Microsoft IIS varies per operating system. Please choose your operating system from this list:
Rights and security
When using WMSclient (as advised) this section can be skipped.
This part only applies when using Internet Explorer (IE) as client
software and when installing E-WMS ASP for the first time on the IIS server.
Because the WMS IIS file terminals.config is updated when a mobile device
using IE starts E-WMS ASP
for the first time, it is necessary to grant 'modify' (write) rights for the E-WMS IIS folder. The security
risk involved by granting this should be minimal because this folder and files cannot be accessed directly over the internet (unless IIS is configured incorrectly). Please follow the steps described in document
How to grant file rights on the E-WMS IIS folder.
Setting up connection, devices and users
This part only applies when configuring E-WMS for ASP usage for the first
time. Following items have to be configured:
Installing the E-WMS services
Installation of the E-WMS services is optional.
This document explains the purpose of the services.
For installation, please refer to document
How to install and configure the ICL and E-WMS RF services.
Special considerations
- If you are using Windows 64 bit, you may have to execute this command in a command prompt
on the IIS server:
cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE %\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 true
If you receive an error executing this command, see document
Missing IIS admin scripts - Can not find script file
Testing and errors
Start WMSclient and connect to the IIS server - WMS address, for example
http://localhost/wms.
