12 Installation Manual SIPLACE Material ManagerV2.1

Selecting components in Expert Mode

► Select the components that you want to install.

► Click on Next to finish the selection and continue with the installation program.

Description of the Single Components

ApplicationServer (mandatory)

The Material Manager ApplicationServer is a Microsoft COM+ application. As central component of the

system it controls all Material Manager operations and events. Usually, the ApplicationServer will be in

stalled on the central Material Manager server or on another server. Once installed, the ApplicationServ

er can be administered via the Control Panel of the operating system.

CustomerWebServices (optional)

The CustomerWebServices integrate the Material Manager into your system landscape and are hosted

on the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). If they are available and administered, the Material

Manager calls these Web services within defined workflow modes.

Database (mandatory)

The Material Manager database contains all required tables and views. The database will be installed

on a Microsoft SQL.

OIBServices (mandatory)

The OIBServices integrate the Material Manager for working with other SIPLACE software products (e.g.

SIPLACE Setup Center) via the public OIB interface. The OIBServices are hosted on the Microsoft In

ternet Information Server (IIS).

PDAServer (mandatory)

The PDA server is required to operate the mobile PDA devices. The PDA server controls the communi

cation between the single PDA devices and the central ApplicationServer and will usually be installed on

the central Material Manager server.

NOTICE

Complete installation recommended

To make sure that the Material Manager runs correctly, it is recommended to install all compo

nents that are enabled for installation in the presettings because most of them are mandatory

to use the Material Manager.

If necessary, non-selected components can be installed later.

WebApplication (mandatory)

The WebApplication is the central GUI of the Material Manager. The WebApplication is hosted on the

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) and starts over a compatible Web browser (e.g. Internet Ex

plorer). The WebApplication runs as HTML application completely within the browser, so there is no

need to install it on a client computer.

WebServices (optional)

The WebServices form the public interface of the SIPLACE Material Manager. The WebServices obey

the official ISA-95 and B2MML standard. E.g., the material master file or packaging units can be main

tained or retrieved via these WebServices. The WebServices are hosted on the Microsoft Internet Infor

mation Server (IIS).

WebServicesClient (optional)

Data that has been created outside of the Material Manager (e.g. material or master data) can be im

ported into the Material Manager database with the WebServicesClient.

Searching for available SQL servers

The installation program searchs for already existing SQL servers in your network. Each detected SQL

server can be used as host for the Material Manager database later.

The search for SQL servers may take some minutes in a large network.

NOTICE

Optional components

The CustomerWebService, WebServices and WebServicesClient components are only re

quired if they have to be integrated in the system landscape of the customer. Registration over

the 3rd party portal is required.

Selecting SQL server

► Select the server that you want to use as host for the Material Manager database from the drop-down

list.

► Enter the password for the SA user (administrator).

► Enter the port number for the database. Either you receive the port number from your system admin

istrator or you will find it in the Configuration Manager of the SQL server.

► Click on Next.

The installation program tries to establish a connection to the defined SQL server.

If a connection has been successfully established, the installation program checks if a Material Manager

database already exists on this SQL server. In this case, the database will be updated to the current state

(if necessary).

If no Material Manager database is available on the defined SQL server, a new one will be created.

Creating a new database

► Select the Create new Database option.

► Click on Next.
