Geo SCADA Expert Installation Guide - Full Install (Installing Geo SCADA Expert)

Full Install

The Full (Recommended) option is only offered on Server and Server and Clients installations. With such installations, you have to install the Local Web Proxy Part 1/2 (IIS) and Local Web Proxy Part 2/2 (ARR) prerequisites (see Geo SCADA Expert Prerequisite Components). If these prerequisites are required, but have not yet been installed, use the Back button on the Installation Wizard pages to go back to the Setup page and select the required prerequisites from that page.

When you select Full (Recommended) on the Choose Setup Type page of the Geo SCADA Expert Installer, the following components will be installed:

WebX Client
(for Original WebX).

These components include the Geo SCADA Expert server, ViewX Client, WebX Client (for Original WebX), Data Access (for OPC, ODBC, OLEDB, Web and COM connections), and many of the available drivers. When installed, this will allow Geo SCADA Expert server and one ViewX client to run on the machine.

* The Crystal Reports client component is only included if the SAP Crystal Reports runtime components have been installed.

The SAP Crystal Reports runtime components are NOT installed by default. If you intend to install them you must purchase a Crystal Reports runtime license for each server on which these components are to be operational (clients do not need a license to use the runtime components). For servers on which the runtime components are operational, the Crystal Reports runtime license is included with the Geo SCADA Expert Crystal Reports driver license. Please contact your Schneider sales representative for more information.

Geo SCADA Expert servers require the 64-bit version of the SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine to be selected. Geo SCADA Expert ViewX clients and Virtual ViewX servers require the 32-bit version of the SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine to be selected. Please select both if you are to run Server and Clients on the same computer. As the runtime components are prerequisites, you have to select them before you continue further with the Geo SCADA Expert installation (this is handled automatically in the Virtual ViewX installer). For more information about the installation order, see the Installation section of the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to the Crystal Reports Driver.

If you intend using Crystal Reports on your system, you also need to install the Crystal Reports prerequisites and driver on any Permanent Standby servers, in order for the Geo SCADA Expert database to synchronize. However, as the Permanent Standby Geo SCADA Expert servers do not require the Crystal Reports driver to be operational, they do not require a Crystal Reports runtime license. (On the Modules tab on the Server Status Tool of such servers, the Crystal Reports driver will show a red 'No License' state due to the lack of runtime license. This is expected on Permanent Standby servers. On all other servers on systems that use Crystal Reports, the Crystal Reports driver and runtime components must be licensed.)

If additional drivers are required, you will need to use the Custom install option (see Custom Setup).

The Area of Interest Cleaner utility is installed as part of the ViewX component.

When you choose the Full (Recommended) option, the Geo SCADA Expert Installer proceeds to the Super User Account page automatically (see Create a Super User Account).
