Installation Application Server
Introduction
In e-Synergy several functionalities are dependent on the
jobs defined in MS SQL Server Agent. These jobs are scheduled and take over
tasks like import financial transactions, sending mails to the mail server,
calculation customer ratings.
Next a explanation
is given about the installation of e-Synergy as well the
configurations of the applications jobs, MS SQL Server Agent, Outlook Express and Excel. The application or
the SQL database server is setup from scratch when for example the server's hardware is replaced, when the
operating software is re-installed or when no e-Synergy environment is
been installed before.
Explanation
Setting up the application server can be different for every company. When a
optimal performance is required of the SQL Database server than it might be
considerable to set up an application server for running the background job.
Otherwise running the background jobs on the SQL Database server would be
sufficient. The following list can be used to set up the application or SQL
Database server.
Before the installation of e-Synergy is started
it is recommended that the server meets the following minimum software
requirements:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 inclusing most recent
service packages and critical updates.
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 5 (part of
Windows 2000)
- Microsoft MS SQL 2000
- Microsoft Excel
- Microsoft Outlook Express
Check if the requirements and configuration of the
software has been done properly by using the documents:
The installation procedure to install e-Synergy
on an application server is partly the same as when
an installation is performed on a web server. The document "
e-Synergy installation web server " describes the installation procedures.
As mentioned in the "Introduction" the application
server is used to import financial transactions in the main database. To
support this import the financial replication tools must be installed after the
installation of e-Synergy. The document "Installation
replication components" describes three scenario's that can be used to
install these tools.
Note 1
When e-Synergy is not installed on the application server the background jobs
will not function.
Note
2:
Update e-Synergy on the application server after e-Synergy on
the webservers are updated. Not updating e-Synergy on the application server might
cause that the SQL jobs will not run properly.
In e-Synergy several functionalities are dependent on the jobs defined
in MS SQL Server Agent. But in order to run all jobs properly the
settings of the SQL Server Agent must be configured. The document "Configuration
MS SQL Server Agent " describes which setting should be adjusted in the
properties of the SQL Agent Server.
When installing MS Excel select the option
'Prerequisites' in order to copy al required components of MS Excel on the
server. This will prevent that Excel will ask to the MS Office
installation software when Excel is opened or used. No changes in the Excel configuration has to be made after the installation of Excel.
Check if Excel can be started.
In order to work with e-Synergy mail merge the
configuration of MS Outlook Express of the application server must be set. The
document "Configuration
Outlook Express " describes the configurations of MS Outlook Express.
The backgrounds applications should be defined on the
application server. During this process the following
documents can be usefull:
Note: instead of using the MS SQL Server to set up the application jobs the
Windows Task Scheduler can be used:
