This section describes how to install the SharePoint Console components. The SharePoint Console components are:
Image Service files
SharePoint Console
Note:
If the Image Service is installed on a machine other than the SharePoint Console host machine, you must also run the installer on that machine to install the Image Service component. For a non-Windows image service host, you must manually deploy the image service files. For more information, see Manually Deploying the Image Service Files.
Launching the SharePoint Console Installer
To launch the SharePoint Console installer:
Log in to the Windows host as the local Administrator.
Copy the ALISharePointConsole_v1-1_mp1.exe installer to a temporary location.
Close all unnecessary windows and applications.
Double-click ALISharePointConsole_v1-1_mp1.exe to launch the installer.
The installer wizard will launch. Complete the installer wizard pages as described in the next section.
Completing the Installer Wizard Pages
The following table describes the SharePoint Console installer wizard pages. The wizard pages that appear vary according to the selections you choose.
Note:
If .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed on the SharePoint Console host machine, the installer will display an error message. It is possible to complete the installation but this is not recommended as SharePoint Console will not function properly
Click Cancel on any wizard page to end the installation.
Choose Components
Select the components you want to install on this machine.
Choose Install Folder
Accept the default installation folder or select a different folder in which to install the SharePoint Console component.
Fully Qualified Domain Name
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the host you are installing on.
Example: mycomputer.mydomain.com
Select IIS Web Site
Use Default Web Site - Choose this option to create a virtual directory under the Default Web site. The default Web site listens to port 80.
Use another Web site - If you choose to use another Web site, the next wizard page allows you to enter the Web site name and port numbers.
Caution:
Do not install SharePoint Console to the same Web site that hosts an instance of WSS. The default configuration of a Web site that hosts WSS will disable SharePoint Console. SharePoint Console can be installed to a Web site other than the Web site hosting WSS on the same machine.
Specify IIS Web Site Information
Enter the IIS Web Site Name, IIS Web Site Port, and IIS Web Site Secure Port for your non-Default Web Site. Click Next.
Path to Image Service Files
Enter the location of the portal image service files.
Image Service URL
Enter the URL to the Image Service, including the port number if it is not 80 or 443.
Review the installation configuration information for accuracy. When satisfied with the installation settings, click Install.
.
Manually Deploying the Image Service Files
For any portal image service located on a non-Windows host, you must deploy the SharePoint Console image service files manually. The image service files can be found in compressed packages on the host where you installed the SharePoint Console component.
To manually deploy the image service files:
Copy the appropriate compressed package to the image service host. The packages are located in the directory PT_HOME\ptsharepointcsw\1.1\packages on the host where you installed the SharePoint Console service components. The two packages contain the same files, compressed in different fashions:
imageserver_windows.zip
imageserver_unix.tar.gz
Extract the compressed package to your image service folder. The default directory for the image service is PT_HOME/ptimages/imageserver.
Verifying the Installation
To verify the SharePoint Console service components have been installed, use the Windows Internet Information Services Manager to verify the SharePoint Console virtual directories have been installed.
From Administrative Tools, open the Internet Information Services Manager.
In the IIS Web site you specified when installing the SharePoint Console, these three virtual directories should be present: SharePointCWS, CustomSearch, and SiteFeed.
Importing the SharePoint Console Migration Package
This section describes how to import the SharePoint Console migration package. Importing the SharePoint Console package creates portal objects such as Web services, content sources, and intrinsic portlets used by SharePoint Console.
To import the SharePoint Console .pte file:
Verify that the AquaLogic Interaction Search Service is running.
From the Administration Select Utility drop-down list, use the Migration - Import utility to import the SharePoint_Console.pte file, which is located in the following location on the SharePoint Console host machine:
PT_HOME\ptsharepointcws\1.1\packages
Select Overwrite Remote Servers. If necessary, adjust any import settings.
For details on using the Migration - Import utility, see Administration Guide for BEA AquaLogic Interaction.
