Local
Description
The IBI-aws Admin is stored locally on the PC of the authorized users (e.g. via a software distribution). All locally stored IBI-aws Admin instances require access to a centrally stored data source.
What is required?
System requirements
To be able to use IBI-aws, the system requirements must be observed.
Central Share
A central share is required, that is accessible for all IBI-aws Admin users. This share must be able to handle continuous queries made by the users.
IBI-aws installation package
The installation package (Zip archive) contains a "Ready to use" folder structure. The latest version can be downloaded in the IBI-aws customer area. A conventional installation via setup is not required.
Software distribution
A possibility is needed to distribute the IBI-aws Admin locally to the clients' PCs, e.g. a software distribution.
Procedure
Prepare central share
The UNC-path of the <Installation Location>
could look like this:
\\SERVER\IBI-aws$\
Unpack installation package
Unpack the installation package, which contains the "Ready to use" folder structure, at any place on the central share (<Installation Location>
).
Warning
Please observe the information about Windows security
Prepare required files for distribution
For the local execution of IBI-aws Admin the admin directory from the installation package is required.
The following files and directories (still stored centrally) are not required:
Data.xml
Resources
Customize configuration file
In order for the locally stored IBI-aws Admin instance to find the centrally stored files, the path to the root directory must be specified in the configuration file IBI.aws.Admin.exe.config
using the property Data_XmlFileLocation
:
Before
<add key="Data_XmlFileLocation" value=""/>
After
<add key="Data_XmlFileLocation" value="\\SERVER\IBI-aws$\Admin"/>
When using multiple tenants
When using multiple tenants, the following property must also be activated:
Activate MultiTenantMode
<add key="MultiTenantMode" value="true" />
Storing application data on the central share
When using a single tenant
- Create a new directory on the central share e.g. with the name
Admin
- Place the files and directories excluded above there
When using multiple tenants
- Create a new directory on the central share, e.g. with the name
Admin
- Create a subdirectory for each tenant (e.g.
Tenant 1
,Tenant 2
, etc.). The name of the directories can be chosen freely - Then the file
Data.xml
in theAdmin
directory (of the installation package) is copied into each client directory - If required, the license files as well as the
R
esources
directory can be placed in the client directory
Assign permissions on the central share
Make sure that the following permissions are assigned.
When using a single tenant
Directory | Permission | Description |
---|---|---|
Admin | Read | Write | Assigned for all users who are to use the IBI-aws Admin to create messages |
When using multiple tenants
Directory | Permission | Description |
---|---|---|
Admin | Read | Assigned for all users who are to use the IBI-aws Admin to create messages |
Tenant n | Read | Write | This directory (the name can be freely chosen) contains the data of a tenant, i.e. only users who are allowed to manage messages for this tenant may have access here. Therefore it is important here that the inheritance of the permissions for this directory is deactivated. |
