Installation and configuration of a Vigilens web server

General

This is the type of a Web server allowing to execute Vigilens requests from a Web browser or to call these requests from a third party application (http request from MS Excel, task menu in ORACLE JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, …).

In addition to the Web component, this server will have all the characteristics of the installation of a Vigilens workstation and can therefore serve as an application server for the Vigilens suite.

Execution of installation

Language selection

Select an installation directory

Selection of the installation folder Same as for the installation of the single workstation, and same remarks.

Select components to be installed

You can choose to install (or not) the various Windows applications making the Vigilens Tools Suite. The server can thus (possibly) serve as an application server.

In order to be able to parameterize the data sources, it is recommended to install Vigilens Designer and AdminTool on the Web server.

Installation of the PostgreSQL database

  • Listening Port: Network port used by the database to listen for incoming queries. The default value is 5432, which is the default PostgreSQL port.
  • Administrator Name: Name of the user who will be the administrator of this database.
  • Administrator Password: Password to be used to connect to the PostgreSQL database.
    A default password is randomly generated at each installation. You can either use the one generated or specify one that suits you.
