Java Runtime Engine 1.6.x 32-bit installation requires registry manipulation to install SAValet on 64-bit OS 64-bit works by default Installed in C:\Datatel directory (Run as Admin) (ex. C:\Datatel\jre6u21) Setup JAVA_HOME environment variable Add “%JAVA_HOME%\bin” to the system path Enter “java –version” at the command prompt to verify installation

Daemon / SAValet Daemon Installed in C:\Datatel\coll18\Daemon Use Datatel installer (Run as Admin) Enter java bin directory when prompted Installs DatatelDaemon Service (services.msc) SAValet Installation on UI server (Run as Admin) Add Colleague Server on Hosts Tab Add LPR Connection Can use existing installation Move UI installation directories post configuration

wIntegrate Server Run DatatelUI41.EXE Installer (Run as Admin) Requires N00 code for licensing Installed in C:\Datatel\wIntegrateServer Setup initial environment Installs wIntegrate service (services.msc) Centralized management of environments (ui_ins.ini) Central script location (Update scripts once) User access by environment (web_dbs.ini)

Datatel Web Services Uses same installer as wIntegrate Server Install in C:\Datatel\WebServices \_template_ws Copy template for each environment New Web Service in SAValet per environment Points to database Register in IIS by adding application Needs account with local admin access

Microsoft Silverlight Uses same installer as wIntegrate Server Install in C:\Datatel\Silverlight\_template_sl Copy template for each environment New User Interface Client in SAValet per environment Points to Web Service and wIntegrate Server Register in IIS by adding a virtual directory Add “network service;iis_iusrs” to virtual directory permissions

APPS Listener Create New AAPS Listener in SAValet for each environment Installed on wIntegrate server in C:\Datatel\coll18\environment Define wIntegrate server as pre-authenticated server Select Listeners on UT-UWPR (APP and UI)

Listener Startup/Shutdown Bringing down listeners for backups? May cause UI listener failure Batch automation and Windows scheduler Stop and start listener on UI server Eg. net stop "Datatel Production_UI4“ net start "Datatel Production_UI4"
