This section outlines a step-by-step instruction on how to install Intellect software as a “Server”.

Note

The following features are to be taken into account while installing Intellect software:

  • Intellect software is to be installed on a “clean” Windows OS (see the Operating system requirements section).
  • To install Intellect software, administrator rights are required.

To install Intellect software, do the following:

  1. Unpack the installation kit as described in Getting ready for Intellect installation; the destination folder will show the contents of the kit.

  2. Run the setup.exe file to start the Intellect software installation procedure.
    As a result the dialog box of choosing language is displayed.

    Note

    Intellect requires Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 or later installed. It is usually included in the Windows OS installation kit and does not require separate installation. Otherwise, an installation window will open—you should agree to automatic installation. For more information about the Microsoft.Net Framework, see the official documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/.

  3. Choose the language of Intellect software installation and click Install.

    As a result the Type of installation dialog box is displayed.
  4. Select the Server/Remote administrator's workstation type of installation.

  5. To log all installation events, set the Enable full logging (increases time of product installation) checkbox.

    Note

    While installing and uninstalling the software events are logged to Intellect.log and Intellect uninstall.log correspondingly. To collect log-files, the “Support.exe” tool is to be used (see The utility for collecting configuration data on servers and RWS for the Technical Support section).
  6. Click the Next button.
    The Selecting components for installation dialog box is displayed.

  7. Set the checkboxes next to the components that are to be installed.

    Note

    All offered components are recommended to be installed.

    However, if installation is performed using the integrated software package (with vertical solutions modules), then there will be an option to select vertical solutions that are to be installed. Only those vertical solutions that will be in use are to be selected. There is no need to install all vertical solutions.

    Vertical solutions will be installed after installing Axxon Intellect Enterprise. Information on how to install vertical solutions can be found in the corresponding documentation.

    Note

    At this stage it is possible to deny installing MS SQL Express database server. In this case it will be required to configure connection to the remote database at step 16.

    When installation of Intellect is complete database connection parameters can be changed using the idb.exe utility—see INTELLECT™ software database connection.

    Pay attention that Intellect operation will be impossible without connection to any database source.

    If you are not installing from a disk, you will also be able to select the languages to be installed. To do this, download the language pack from AxxonSoft official website (https://www.axxonsoft.com/) before beginning the installation and put the archive's files into the languages folder in the installer's directory. As a result, a list of Additional languages will be displayed in the Components section of the Selecting components for installation window, and you can select the languages that need to be installed.

    Note

    If this method of installing languages is not suitable, each language can be installed separately later (see Installing the language). After the installation, use the utility tweaki.exe to switch languages (see Switching languages in the Intellect Software System).

  8. Click the Install button.

    The selected components are automatically installed except Microsoft SQL Server Express 2014 database (necessary for work with Intellect databases), that is installed manually (see Microsoft documentation).

    Important!

    Auto installation of necessary prerequisites may take more than 10 minutes.


    After this the Welcome to the Intellect Setup Wizard box is displayed.

  9. Click the Next button.
    The License Agreement dialog box is displayed.
  10. Read the License agreement and accept its terms by setting the switch into the I accept the terms of the License agreement position, otherwise the Intellect installation will be stopped.
  11. Click the Next button.
    The dialog box of installation mode selection is displayed.
  12. Select the installation mode.

  13. Click the Next button.

    When the Custom installation mode is selected, the dialog box of choosing the installation folder is displayed, and then the Select components dialog box is displayed. This step is omitted when the Standard installation mode is selected.

    Note

    The description of the component is displayed in the installation box when this component is selected.

    The dialog box of specifying the path to the key file is displayed.

    Note

    Keep the field blank if the key file will be copied later.

  14. Click the Next button.
    The dialog box of installing Intellect as a service is displayed.

     

    Note

    The 64-bit version of Intellect is not available when installed as a service. If this checkbox is set checked, then 32-bit modules will be started after installing Intellect as a service.

  15. Set the Install Intellect as a service checkbox if Intellect software is to be started before the user is authorized by the Windows OS and before Windows applications are started (including the Explorer application) that is used for starting Windows OS interfaces and various other applications installed on the Server (see Working with Windows OS services for operating Intellect™ installed as a Service section).

  16. Click the Next button.
    The dialog box of MS SQL Server database server selection is displayed. Specify the authentication parameters to connect to it.

    Important!

    Access of some user to the database is impossible without additional settings of the idb.exe utility and knowing of the login and password of Administrator if installation of the Intellect software package is performed by Administrator and Windows account data are in use for SQL authentication. So it is highly recommended not to use such authentication method of the SQL server.

  17. Select the SQL-server using the drop-down list.

    Note

    If there is necessity to use the SQL-server installed on this (local) computer, the “(local)\SQLEXPRESS2014” item (set by default) is to be selected.

    Important!

    You cannot connect different Servers to one database.
    Server can use remote database, but requirements to network and other resources become higher and this can cause delays while transmitting events and states of cores.

  18. Set the authorization parameters that will be used by Intellect while connecting to the SQL-server.

    Note

    If Intellect is installed as a service, select the SQL Server identity check, i.e. set the Use the following username and password checkbox and specify the username and password to login the Server database. If the database is to be connected via the Windows account, then for proper operation of Intellect any other the user is to have corresponding SQL Server permissions.

    Ways of authorization performed in the dialog box.

    Ways of authorization
