Step 3 – Messaging Component Installation

Before you Begin

•      Upgrades:  When upgrading the Messaging Component, the registry settings will be saved. This is done in the SaveSettings program. The settings are restored in the messaging installer.

 

1.  Select the Messaging Component button, and then click Install.  (Not necessary if you chose “Install All 3 Components.”)  

2.  Read through the Welcome screen and click Next.

3.  Read the License Agreement carefully and select 'I accept the License Agreement' to continue. Click Next to display the Readme Information. Read this information carefully.

4.  Click Next to view the Destination Folder dialog.  Choose your Destination Folder for the Enterprise Server software, and then click Next.  You can change the drive, but leave the ProgramFiles/NLES path.  This is required so that, in the future, you can run the NotifyLink Patch Installer to apply software updates.

5.  The PIM Service Login Information screen is displayed as shown below. Enter the password for the Windows administrator account that you are currently logged in under and click Next.

NOTE: The following services need an Administrator account in order to function properly.

•      AttachmentService

•      AvailableUsers

•      GleanerController

•      Monitor Service

•      PimService

6.  The SQL Server Login Information screen is displayed as shown below. The username and password are pre-populated if you are installing on the same machine as the previous components.  If you are installing the Messaging component on a different server, enter the values that were selected during the SQL Database installation. Click Next >.

 

7.  This Database Permissions screen is displayed as shown below. If you would like to run the SQL Report monitoring job, select it and enter the sa password. The permissions displayed will be granted for the job if selected.  If it is not selected, the sa password is not needed.  Click Next >.

 

 

8.  At the last screen you will be prompted for the following server configuration information:

•      Default SMTP Server - Enter the IP or DNS of the SMTP Server to be used by default for the Enterprise Server.  The Default SMTP Server is the server that will be used to send outbound SMTP notifications from the Enterprise Server, unless another SMTP server has been specified for a user.  This default SMTP Server must be accessible from the server where the Enterprise Server Messaging Component is installed.  It must also allow for relaying of SMTP email to Internet email accounts from the server where the Enterprise Server Messaging Component is installed.

•      Default SMTP Port - The port used to access the Default SMTP Server.

      NOTE: NotifyLink will attempt to make the connection to the specified SMTP Server via the specified SMTP Port.  If this connection fails, you will be prompted that there was an error connecting.

•      SQL Server - Select from the drop-down the name of the SQL Server containing the Enterprise Server SQL Database (which was installed in Step 1).

•      Administrator Email Address - Enter the email address of the NotifyLink Enterprise Server administrator.  The administrator will receive email regarding system monitoring errors, warnings, and notices of software updates and new releases.

 

Click Next > to finish the Messaging Component installation.  This will take several seconds as features are updated and installed, and product information is registered.  When it is completed, click OK and you will see a screen that "Messaging Component has been successfully installed."

9.  Click Finish to complete the Messaging Component installation.

10. If you are prompted to restart the system, answer Yes to reboot the server.

 

 

You are now ready to apply software patches.
