On selecting this option, global modules get installed on the same web server as Argus Safety Web and are accessible as a separate URL from the same web server.
Global modules are components of Global Application having the same functionality as Portlets in the Global Homepage for Web Center.
If you have chosen to install the IIS Global Homepage instead of the Webcenter Global Homepage for multi-tenant installations, you must make sure that you access the following URL after installing the IIS Global Homepage:
http://<web server>:<port>/GHP/GlobalHome.aspx
The Argus Global Application for the Argus Safety Web option is enabled only if Argus Safety Web is also selected.

cache=<shared directory for the pdfreports>
messagecachepath=<shared directory for the message cache>
upload=<shared directory for the uploaded letters>

Note: The Nevron temp file folder on all the Web Servers should point to a common file share such as PDFReports and other folders. The configuration file is present in the ASP\NevronConfig folder. Apart from this, you must also make sure that the client machine has also got access to that share. |
