## BMS installation

### BMS installation sequence

The BMS has to be installed in a TCP/IP LAN network. The BMS SW package consists of the following parts:

#### Sequence of installation

1. Database

- At first a database is required. The database may run on another PC in the network. It is not necessary that the database is located on the PC where the BMS server is running.
- The SQL 7.0 MSDE database for Windows applications is included in the BMS SW package.
- During the installation sequence of the BMS server, you can decide which database should be used.

1. JAVA runtime environment

- To run the BMS server the JAVA runtime environment has to be started. The file Jre.exe is included in the BMS SW package.
- It will be started automatically during the installation sequence of the BMS server.

1. BMS Server

- All necessary files will be unzipped and copied to the desired directory on the hard disk of the PC. The Setup.exe is created, which can be executed to start the BMS.

### BMS Remote v.24 Agent installation sequence

BMS Remote v.24 Agent has to be installed on all network PCs that are connected to a BusinessPhone via V.24 or MODEM.

#### Sequence of installation

1. JAVA runtime environment

- To run the BMS Remote v.24 Agent, start the JAVA runtime environment. The file Jre.exe is included in the BMS SW package. It will be started automatically.

1. BMS Remote v.24 Agent

- All necessary files will be unzipped and copied to the desired directory on the hard disk of the PC. Use the Setup.exe to start the BMS Remote v.24 Agent.

### Upgrade to BMS 3.x

To upgrade an existing BMS 1.x or BMS 2.x installation to Version 3.x without loosing any user data or profiles, do the following:

- Uninstall BMS 1.x / 2.x

- Do not delete the installation directory!
- Do not uninstall MSDE!
- Install BMS 3.x in the same directory where BMS 1.x / 2.x has been installed.

#### Upgrade from BMS 1.0

When upgrading from BMS 1.x to BMS 2.0 or higher only “basic” rights are possible and all existing users are assigned to “default” rights after the installation.

#### Upgrade from BMS 1.2 / 2.x

If a master license is activated, all existing users keep their authority.

If the standard license is activated:

- only two (2!) user profiles can be used: “admin” and “default”.
- if any other profile is/was associated with the user, “default” will be used automatically.
- neither the “default” nor the “admin” profile can be changed.
- to get “flexible access rights (FAR)” it is necessary to switch back to basic and then to master licensing.

### Installation - Step by Step

- Click on the file Setup.exe in the BMS folder:

- The Installation searches for a suitable Java Virtual Machine. If no suitable Java Virtual Machine is found you are asked to install it.
- BMS automatically detects the language of your system. Depending on your system settings, a dialog in the respective language will appear.

- Click on the pop-up list to select your favorite language.
- Click on OK to continue with the installation. If you click on the Cancel button, the installation will be aborted.
- Click on the Next button. Now the BMS software license agreement is displayed. Read the license agreement carefully.

- To continue the installation, you must accept the terms of the license agreement by marking the first radio button. Otherwise the installation will be cancelled.

- Click on the Next button. Now the InstallShield Wizard shows you the suggested path for the installation.

- To change the program’s directory, just enter another path or click on the Browse button to change the path by using the Windows routines.

Note

Although you can install BMS in any desired directory, it is recommend to keep the suggested path to make sure that all other software links will work, especially if you are running an upgrade.

- Now you are asked if you want to install a full or a custom version of BMS. ‘Full’ includes also the installation of the MSDE.

Note

Only experienced users should install a custom version.

- Select an option and click on the Next button.

- The BMS Server Properties dialog appears, showing the language selection for BMS, the local host address and port (Only has to be changed if an other WEB server is already running on this PC).
- The Databse Server Host only has to be changed, if the MSDE installation was not selected. Then the host (IP address or name) of the existing SQL server has to be entered.

- If Notebook installation is selected, there is no automatic log of after 30 minutes (in case of no input) !

- Now the installation overview is displayed. The InstallShield Wizards lists all software parts to be installed and shows for each component and in total how much space will be needed on your hard disk.

- Click on the Next button to start the installation.
- Click on the Finish button to complete the installation.

#### Following is only required for MS Windows 98

The MSDE database will not be started automatically in Windows 98. It has to be made manually. To start the MSDE database click on the Icon in the task bar of the operating system.

If the database is started the icon in the window is changed to a green triangle.

Also enable the field ‘Auto-start service when OS starts’, to start the MSDE automatically when Windows 98 is started or restarted.
