Monitor Pro Installation

I NSTALLING THE D ATABASE

Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2000

It is recommended that you use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 as the primary database.
You also need SQL Server if you want to use it as the database for the Examples
Application that you can install with the Monitor Pro software. It is recommended that
you install SQL Server 2000 before installing Monitor Pro. SQL Server is not required
on the same computer as Monitor Pro.
1 For the Standard Edition only, contact your system administrator for the appropriate
licensing mode information (either per seat or per processor). You will need this
information during the installation.
2 Insert the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the Installation
wizard does not automatically start, navigate to the root of the appropriate SQL Server
2000 CD and double-click setup.bat.
3 When the opening screen appears, select SQL Server 2000 Components, and then select
Install Database Server.

4 When the Welcome screen appears, click Next and follow the instructions on the
screen to install the database server.

Important Notes

• Your license key is in Exhibit A, included with the Monitor Pro shipping package.
• Use the SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition CD for running Monitor Pro on
Windows 2000 Server or Server 2003. Use the Personal Edition CD for running
Windows XP Professional or 2000 Professional.
• Throughout the wizard, accept the default settings. The screens requiring
different settings are as follows:
Services Account screen – Select Use the same account for each service. Then, select
Use the Local System account.

 2 | MONITOR PRO INSTALLATION
Installing the Database

Important Notes (continued)

Authentication Mode screen – Select Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL
Server Authentication) and select Blank Password. (If you want to enter a password,
you will need to configure the Examples Application to use a password.
Currently, the Examples Application has a blank password.)
• After the Start Copying Files screen, the installation automatically begins
installing SQL Server 2000 for the Personal Edition.
For the Standard Edition, the Choose Licensing Mode screen appears. When
using the Per Seat license provided by Schneider Electric, select Per Seat and enter
the number of Monitor Pro CALs in the Seat Count field to begin installing SQL
Server 2000. (The total number of SQL CALs installed = Monitor Pro
Development CALS + Monitor Pro Run-time CALs.)

5 Insert the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4 CD into the CD-ROM drive and follow the
instructions on the screen. After you install both SQL Server and SP4, restart your
computer. When your computer restarts, an instance of SQL Server starts.

Setting the Memory Size and User Language

After you install Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you need to set a maximum memory
limit to prevent SQL Server from consuming all the memory available to it and to
ensure the operation and speed of Monitor Pro tasks. For reporting functions, you
need to set the user language selection to match the language of the operating system.
1 Click Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager.

2 In the Console Root window, navigate to SQL Server Group folder. Right-click your host
server name and select Properties.
3 In the SQL Server Properties (Configure) dialog box, click Memory tab. Click Use a
fixed memory size (MB) and use the slider to set the Microsoft recommended memory
size in the range of 40 to 80 MB, depending on your system’s RAM and virtual
memory size. Click OK.
4 To set the SQL Server user language to match the language of the operating system,
expand “your SQL Server” to the Security folder. Click Logins. Right-click the user and
select Properties. On the General tab, click the Language arrow and select the language
for the operating system. Click OK.

 2 | MONITOR PRO INSTALLATION
Installing Monitor Pro

Important Notes

• A typical configuration uses one account on the server and various accounts on
client machines. This is the account that the DCOM components will run under.
• If using various accounts to start the Monitor Pro server, you can start the
application by using the Configuration Explorer or the FLAutoStart service.
Using FLRUN while logged in as a different user will not allow most DCOM
connections (such as OPC used by the Client Builder) to work properly.
• If using workgroups with multiple accounts, select the Advanced check box and
enter the name of an account group in the Group field to allow access by
members of that group to the Monitor Pro DCOM components. However,
nothing is added to the group; the system administrator must add members to the
group. Note, the Administrator/Power User specified in the Username field must
be a member of that group.
• If using workgroups instead of domains in your network, leave the Domain field
blank. When you click OK, a message displays, “By not specifying a domain,
workgroup-mode is assumed. In this case, you must use the same account and
password on all clients and servers.” Click OK.
• By default, Windows XP and later systems do not allow the use of non-domain
accounts with blank passwords for network access. If you are running in a
workgroup configuration on Windows XP or later, the account specified in
DCOMWiz must have a non-blank password.
• When the Advanced check box is selected, the Group field appears with the name
of the group that is granted DCOM access rights. In domain mode, the default is
domain\domain user. In workgroup mode, the default is a blank field, meaning
only the specified user is granted access. You can change the default value to
allow DCOMWiz to grant access to any group, thus allowing flexibility in
configuring accounts and access. Note, the Administrator/Power User specified
in the Username field must be a member of that group.
• For cross-domain access, consult your systems administrator.
For clients and servers to exist in different domains, the network administrator
must establish a mutual trust relationship between them. A trust relationship is a
link between two domains that allows a user with an account in one domain to
have access to the resources of another domain.

the Microsoft online MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.

One-Click Client
Installation

One-Click Client provides the capability to install a client on a remote system on the
LAN, WAN, or VPN to access Monitor Pro information.
Notes:
• One-Click Client is for run-time only. You cannot create or edit projects
and mimics in a run-time system.
• If an ActiveX control is used in a mimic that is not one of the Monitor
Pro-supplied ActiveX controls, you must install the control on each client
where you want to use it.
The One-Click Client utility has two primary modes of operation. The first mode is a
manual install method that guides a user on a client machine step-by-step through the
installation and application deployment process. The second mode, which uses the
Advanced button of the utility, is designed primarily for automating the steps of the
manual method into a custom install script that can then be used in conjunction with
the utility to completely automate the deployment process. In this mode, a user on a
remote machine only needs to click a single link, received in an e-mail for example, to
initiate the automated deployment process.

M ANUAL I NSTALLATION U SING W IZARD

The manual installation method uses the One-Click wizard to deploy a lightweight
Monitor Pro client and project applications to a remote client.
1 From the client computer, use Windows Explorer to browse My Network Places and
locate the Installs shared folder on your Monitor Pro server. Double-click OneClick.exe
to start the wizard.
2 When the wizard appears, click Next.

3 In the Remote Project Directory field, either enter the path or use the browse button to
select the shared folder on the server where the Client Builder project is located.
(Using a base folder allows for the selection of multiple projects.) Then, click Next.

4 In the Local Cache Directory field, either enter the path or use the browse button to select
the directory where you want to store the project files locally. (This directory is the
root directory for local copies of all project files. All project-related files will be
placed in a subdirectory of this directory.) Then, click Next.
5 In the Remote Projects list, select the remote projects you want copied to the client
machines. Use the arrow buttons to move items between the lists. (The single arrow
moves only the selected item, and the double arrow moves all items.) Then, click Next.
6 Click Install to begin installing the software and projects.

After the installation completes, a Client Builder icon and a shortcut icon for each
project you selected is placed on the desktop. The related project files are cached to
the local folder you specified in the wizard.
7 After the software and projects are installed, the License Utility automatically starts.
Add the name or IP address of you license server(s). For instructions about using the
license utility, see the Utilities Guide.
8 Click Finish.

C USTOM I NSTALLATION
The custom installation can be started from a client computer to allow the user more
control over the install process by clicking the Advanced button in the One-Click
wizard. Using the advanced mode on the server provides a more powerful tool. The
developer can create an install script that can be used to completely automate the
client and project deployment process.

Creating the Install Script

1 From your server installs directory (..\Telemecanique\FactoryLink\Installs), double-click

OneClick.exe.

2 When the wizard appears, click Advanced. The Client Builder Project Installation
window appears.
3 In the Remote Project Directory field, enter the shared folder on the server where the
Client Builder project is located as a UNC path, such as \\MyServerName\SharedFolder.
Using a base folder, such as \\MyServerName\Applications, allows for the selection of
multiple projects.

4 In the Local Cache Directory field, enter the directory where you want project files
locally stored on the client computer. This directory is the root directory for local
copies of the projects. Each cached project will be placed in a subdirectory of this
directory.
Note: This parent directory will be created on each client computer at
installation time; therefore, the drive letter specified must be one that exists
on all clients. For example, specifying Z:\MyAppCache is not a good choice if
the Z drive is not available to all clients.
5 In the Remote Projects list, select the remote projects you want copied to the client
computers and move them to the Local Projects list. Use the Add and Remove buttons
to move the projects between the lists.
Note: If projects do not appear in the Remote Projects list, click Refresh.

Installing One-Click Client

You can now install a client simply by using a link to the OneClick.exe file and
specifying the /i“install script” parameter. Clicking this link begins the installation.

Using a Link

1 From the remote computer, the operator or developer can click a link (like the
following example) to install the client. Note, this link can be sent in an e-mail
message.
\\MyServerName\Installs\OneClick.exe /iMyInstallScript.txt
After the link is clicked, the client is installed to the local computer. The installation
provides a progress bar. After the installation finishes, a Client Builder icon and a
shortcut icon for each of the selected projects appear on the desktop.
