The following step is what a normal installation includes:
•Install IIS (Internet Information Server) on the server (if the server platform is 2003 the install media have to be available on mapped drive)
•If not .Net Framework 4 (full version) is installed we will install that.
•Create a new application pool in IIS where we will install Aiolos Forecast Studio (AFS) web service (running in the default web site, port 80)
•Install AFS server and client programs on the server and configure them to the data configuration folder.
•Install the old Aiolos version on the server (you have to use some old programs for a while until all program are developed for .Net)
•Make a share of the Aiolos folder with rights for the appropraite users.
•Test import of load and weather data from data source (if it is from a SQL query database we need a OLEDB or ODBC connection to the database on the server).
If Aiolos Forecast Studio SQL (ADO) import is used with import from text files or from Excel sheet a Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 32 bit driver should be installed.
Note! If a Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64 bit driver is used for another application on the same server you can’t have both 64 and 32 bit driver on the same server.
•Create Windows Scheduled Task to automatic run import of load and weather data and maybe automatic forecast (this requires a user account with password never changes, and that you can change later)
•Install Release Manager (a program that are used to check for new versions of Vitec programs and download them, uses address: http://dotnettools.vitec.se)
•Install a test environment (where you can install newer versions and test them before you install it for the production environment).
•Install client programs on client computer (if you want us to do that, else we have a manual for that so you can do that yourself)
