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:

1. Data.xml

2. 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

1. Create a new directory on the central share e.g. with the name Admin

2. Place the files and directories excluded above there

When using multiple tenants

1. Create a new directory on the central share, e.g. with the name Admin

2. Create a subdirectory for each tenant (e.g. Tenant 1, Tenant 2, etc.). The name of the directories can be chosen freely

3. Then the file Data.xml in the Admin directory (of the installation package) is copied into each client directory

4. If required, the license files as well as the Resources directory can be placed in the client directory

Assign permissions on the central share

Make sure that the following permissions are assigned.
