Installation and configuration of a Vigilens station

Use Case

This is the installation on an individual workstation or on an application server allowing to use Vigilens Designer and the other Windows applications of the Vigilens suite.

Minimum Technical Requirements

Operating System

Windows 32 or 64 bits.

  • Windows Vista
  • Windows Server 2008
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows 10

Hardware

Feedback from our installed base shows that a configuration with 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM allows a satisfactory use of Vigilens.

Disk space

  • minimum of 0.5 GB for the installation of Vigilens
  • 20 GB recommended for a classic use of the software (queries, results files, …)

ODBC drivers / OCI

The user workstation must first have the ODBC or OCI drivers corresponding to the databases to be requested. We recommend the use of the drivers provided by the editors of the corresponding databases (only these are validated and covered by our support).

The application uses the 32-bit version of ODBC. There is a button in the AdminTool to access the correct version of the ODBC settings, see the dedicated section of the AdminTool.

Installation

Start the installation by double-clicking on the provided executable file.

Select a language

This is the language used during installation.

Select an installation directory

It is not recommended to install Vigilens under “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” because this can cause problems when using some ODBC drivers.

This screen only appears the first time a workstation is installed. In the event of any reinstallations, the previous installation folder is kept without the selection screen appearing. In order to change the installation folder, the application must first be uninstalled (from the Windows control panel).

Select components to be installed

the Vigilens Tools Suite is made of 6 Windows applications.

It is necessary to install the AdminTool and LogManage applications on at least one workstation.
