LAN Server Install Instructions
Use the LAN Server configuration to deploy DataAccessStudio within a secured
Local Area Network. This configuration is the easiest way to have
thin-client deployment when you do not need to cross over into a Wide Area
Network deployment.
- ReportsNow recommends that you use a dedicated machine to host Data
Access Studio. IMPORTANT! Do not use your deployment server
as the DAS LAN server.
Step 1 - EnterpriseOne ONLY (if World skip to Step 2)
- On the dedicated server (hereafter referred as the DAS LAN Server), you
need to install an EnterpriseOne Fat Client. The DAS LAN server will
share this install with the clients that connect to the server. You will
update this Fat Client install with update packages/full E1 packages as they
become available. The advantage is that this is the only machine that
you will have to update for the DAS LAN clients.
- Once you have an EnterpriseOne fat client installed, you need to install
Data Access Studio to the DAS LAN Server. If you do not have a drive
mapped to your deployment server share, map a
drive to the <Dep Server Name>\B7333
- From your mapped drive, run: <Dep Server Name>\B7333\Data Access
Studio\Setup.exe
- If you do not have the .NET framework on your workstation, the setup
program will launch the .NET installer. When prompted to do so, install
the .NET framework to your workstation. This installation takes about 5
minutes. You only need to install the .NET Framework once.
- Once the .NET pre-requisite is installed, setup presents the installer
welcome screen:
- Click "Next".
- Pick the default location that the Installer provides. Select the "Everyone" radio button. Click
"Next".
- Click "Next" again to begin the installation.
- Once the installation is complete, press "Close".
- If the machine's MDAC level is below 2.8, setup.exe will invoke the MDAC
installer. This install is optional unless you intend to use the OLE DB
features of DAS. If you perform the MDAC install, then you will be
required to reboot this machine. To cancel the MDAC install, press
Cancel. Otherwise install the updated MDAC drivers.
Step 2 - Set up the Data Access Studio Web (E1 and World)
- Once the DAS client is installed on your server, open Start->Run and type:
"RunDASWebSetup". This converts the DAS workstation into a DAS
LAN host
Fill in the fields as follows (or accept the defaults to test):
| Field |
Description |
| Channel |
Select tcp. |
| Formatter |
Select Binary. |
| Compress |
Leave unchecked |
| Encrypt |
Leave unchecked for a secure LAN. Otherwise, check to encrypt the network traffic. Check this
if you are running over an unsecured network. Select from the
following encryption algorithms: DES, TripleDES, RC5, and Rijndael.
Also select the key size you want for your encryption. Higher key
sizes correspond to higher security. |
| Listener Port |
The port for the DAS Server service. IMPORTANT! If you run a
firewall, make sure this port is open. |
| Start Port |
The port that the DAS Server service will start with to
assign client connections |
| Maximum Connections |
The maximum number of allowed client connections.
Use this setting to limit the number of users per server as you see fit.
IMPORTANT! If you run a firewall, make sure the range of Start Port to Start Port +
Maximum Connections is open. |
| Lease Timeout |
The number of seconds a DASWorker will stay alive after
a client session has disconnected. When the client session ends
abnormally, this timeout ensures that the corresponding server
executable gets cleaned up. Using the default timeout is
recommended.
IMPORTANT!
If your clients experience timeouts when running DAS, try increasing
the value of this parameter. |
| Signin Timeout |
Once a user signs in, this is the number of seconds the
server has to create a session for the user. If users have trouble
signing in, try increasing this value. Otherwise, the default
timeout is recommended. |
| Firewall Machine Name |
Leave blank for LAN. |
| URL |
The IP or machine name of the DAS Web Server. |
| Prompt before setup |
When you press "Setup Web" on the menu bar and this
field is checked, the setup program will display a message box that
warns you that you are about to setup the Web Server. Any DAS
client that is connected to the existing Web server will be
disconnected. |
- Once you have filled in the above fields, press "Setup Web":
You will see a report of the setup steps. These steps convert the
Data Access Studio workstation to a DAS Web Server. When you see the
"Setup Succeeded" message, that means the DAS Web server is running and ready
to take client requests. If a setup step fails, please follow the
recommended resolution in the report.
NOTE. Once you RunDASWebSetup successfully, from that point
onward, every time you update Data Access Studio on the LAN server, the update
will automatically run RunDASWebSetup.
- To run DAS, simply have your users do the following:
- WebSetup creates a new share on the DAS LAN Server named Das. Have
your users link to this share.
- In the Das share, your users need to run DASWebSecurity.msi once.
This sets up the correct .NET permissions for DataAccessStudio to run in thin
client mode.
- Each time the user wants to run DAS, click the DAS.lnk in the Das share.
