Because "Integration Tool WEB" uses a central database to store all information it's very easy to feed the database from different Integration Tool servers and/or daemons. On every Integration Tool server you must configure the special database-handle "WEB" to point to the tracking/web database (server).

Integration Tool WEB can use SQL-server or Active-Directory user validation.

Integration Tool WEB requires an SQLserver database where it can create the necessary tables.

Because Integration Tool WEB is essentially an ASP.Net website which visualises the data in the (tracking) database you alse need to have an IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Server) which supports ASP.Net.

• On every Integration Tool server you plan to have access to Integration Tool WEB you need to configure the "WEB" preset-database. You can do this with the "Manage Databases" option in the "Options" menu of the "Configuration Manager". Note that once you have configured this database and you click "Ok" the necessary tables will automatically be created in the database.
• To install the Integration Tool WEB website use the following instructions:
  • make sure the WEB database has been created in the previous step
• if you do not already have an ASP-membership database, create one by running the following command: "{windir}Microsoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.xxxaspnet_regsql.exe" and follow the onscreen instructions (use the defaults where possible)
• because the Integration Tool WEB website will need to have access to the tracking-database it is recommended to create a new user-account which will later be used as the identity of an Application Pool (in which the Integration Tool WEB website will run). Make this new user a member of the local "Administrators" group. For added security you can change the policy of the account to make sure the account can't be used to logon locally
• create a new application pool using IIS Manager and make sure the ".NET Framework version" is set to v4 and the "identity" (advanced settings) of the application pool is set to the account you created in the previous step
• Use the SQLserver Manager to add a new login for the account you just created and make sure it has datareader/datawriter privileges on the tracking database. Also make sure you change the "User Mapping" of the login and enable all "aspnet_...." roles for the "aspnetdb" database and also enable datareader and datawriter.
• if you plan to use active-directory authentication, make sure you create the following user account in the default "Users" group: Integration Toolwebadmin
• in order for the WebSetup installer to run correctly, make sure the following features are installed on your system;
  • on Vista/Windows7: go to "Programs and Features" / Turn Windows Features on or off / Internet Information Service / Web Management Tools / IIS6 Management Compatibility. Also make sure "ASP.NET" is installed/enabled in the "World Wide Web-services" section.
  • on Windows Server 2008: go into "Server Manager" and add the Role Services for IIS 6 Management Compatibility
  • using the IIS Manager create an Application Pool of which the Integration Tool WEB website will be a member. Change the identity of the Application Pool to the account you created earlier.
• run the WebSetup installer which is located in the "{Integration Tool installdir}WEBinstall". During the setup select the Application Pool you created earlier.
• after the Integration Tool WEB website has been installed it needs to be configured by opening the "http://{yourserver}/Integration Toolweb" page
• now follow the instructions to configure the database settings. If everything was configured correctly you can use the default database-settings (Use Logon Identity)
• once the database-settings have been successfully configured you can click "Continue" to logon to the tracking website. The default password for the "Integration Toolwebadmin" account is "password1" (when using SQL-server authentication)
• Now delete the files "Install.aspx", "web.config.backup" and "..binApp_Web_install.aspx.*" which are located in the directory newly created "Integration Toolweb" website (c:inetpubwwwrootIntegration Toolweb).

Now you should be able to access the Integration Tool WEB website (http://{hostname}/Integration Toolweb) and view the different tracking Groups and Flows and other pages. The "Overview" page contains an overflow of all the Flows in a Group. The "Details" page shows more detailed information about a specific Flow in a Group. On this page you will see the different Steps in a Flow and the status of these Steps.

If you have already installed Integration Tool WEB and want to install an update, you don't need to run the installer package again, but you can simply extract "WebUpdate.zip" (located in "{Integration Tool installdir}WEBupdate") to your existing "c:inetpubwwwrootIntegration Toolweb" folder and overwrite all existing files.

The "Search" page can be used to help you find things in your Integration Tool configurations. Note that you first need to fill the database using the "UpdateWebConfig" plugin. Typically you can run this plugin every night in every daemon you are using to keep the configuration-info in the database up-to-date.

If you want to be able to use the "Connect RDP" button which is displayed in the search-results, you need to configure the rdp: mapping:

• copy the file "RDP.js" which is located in {Integration Tool installdir}Tools" to your "{windir}System32" folder
• edit the file "RDP.reg" which is located in {Integration Tool installdir}Tools" to make sure the paths inside the registry file are correct
• double-click the "RDP.reg" file

If the security-settings of your browser do not block this function, you should now be able to use the "Connect RDP" button on the seach-results page.

The "JobTickets" page can be used to submit data to pre-defined forms which can then be processed by Integration Tool.

The "Monitor" page can be used to view realtime logging information.
