Note The database server must have the supported Aptify version installed prior to installing e-Business. The installer will check the database's version, and you will be unable to proceed with the installation unless Aptify meets this requirement. The following table identifies the supported version of Aptify for the e-Business releases:
e-Business ReleaseRequires this Aptify Releasee-Business 5.5.3 Aptify 5.5.3 e-Business 5.5.2 Aptify 5.5.1 or Aptify 5.5.2 e-Business 5.5.1 Aptify 5.5.1 e-Business 5.5 Aptify 5.5 If this installation is for an e-Business 5.5.2 environment, know that these instructions assume you are installing on a system running Aptify 5.5.2 or later. If you are running on Aptify 5.5.1, contact Aptify Technical Support for additional instructions.
- Review the set of requirements to install e-Business. If your environment does not meet one or more of the specified requirements, click Cancel to abort the installation. Otherwise, clickNext to continue.
- See e-Business Server Requirements and Specifying an e-Business Server User Account for more information on the e-Business requirements.
- See e-Business Server Requirements and Specifying an e-Business Server User Account for more information on the e-Business requirements.
- For e-Business 5.5.2 and up, the installer verifies that the objects in the setup program's Bin folder matches the objects in your Aptify system, which is one requirement to ensure a successful installation. If the installer detects that there is an object mismatch, it automatically synchronizes its Bin folder with the objects from your Aptify database. In that case, you will see a dialog that displays the progress of the synchronization process. When prompted, close the setup program and relaunch it to start over using the updated objects.
- However, in some cases, objects may already be in use by the installer so they cannot be overwritten. If this occurs, you will see a message like the one shown below:
- Perform the following steps if the above dialog box displays:
- Review the contents of the dialog box and write down the name and version number of any files you need to update. Then, click OK and close all relevant dialog boxes and exist from the setup program.
- On a computer that hosts your Aptify Desktop client, navigate to the Program Files > Aptify 5.0 folder on the C: drive.
- Locate the files identified in the dialog box in C:\Program Files\Aptify 5.0 and confirm that the version number of the files in the Program Files folder matches what was displayed in the dialog.
- Copy these versions of the files from C:\Program Files\Aptify 5.0 to two folders in the Aptify e-Business Setup program: Bin and Bin\Bootfiles.
- Restart the setup program and continue until the installer displays the IIS Installation Details screen.
- Nothing needs to be specified on the Gather Info page since you are only installing the server components.
- However, in some cases, objects may already be in use by the installer so they cannot be overwritten. If this occurs, you will see a message like the one shown below:
- Review the Server Option screen and choose one of the following options:
- To install the e-Business Server Components but not the sample data, select the Install Server Components option
- This option installs the e-Business entities on your database server.
- While you can run the installer multiple times to create multiple e-Business sites that communicate with the same database server, you should only install the e-Business entities on your database server once.
- If you want to install the e-Business server components and sample data, select the Install Server Components and Install Sample Data options and enter a location on the SQL Server to which your user account has read/write access. (This is the Windows domain account you have used to log into the Web server.)
- You must enter the location's path in the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format. This should be a shared drive or folder on the server.
During installation, the installer copies a database backup file that contains the sample data to the location you specify on the server. Therefore, the account currently logged into the Web server must have read/write access to that location on the database server. The account that runs the SQL Server process on the database server also needs to have read access to a backup drop directory.
Note Only select the Install Sample Data option if you installed the sample CRM data on the Aptify server during initial installation since there are dependencies between the e-Business sample data and the CRM sample data. Also, for best results when using sample data, you should run the e-Business installation immediately after installing the Aptify server and the CRM sample data.
- If installing the sample data, specify the URL for the e-Business sample site in the e-Business URL field. The system uses this URL within the sample Web Articles RSS Feeds record.
- Click Next to continue.
- Click Finish to begin the e-Business installation.
- Click OK when prompted that the installation is complete.
