Performing a Clean DCS SP1 Installation

  • Article

To complete the installation, you must be an Active Directory user who has Web Service logon credentials. DCS uses Active Directory to verify user credentials.

To perform a clean DCS installation

  1. Insert the DCS Installation media, and then locate the appropriate Setup.exe file for your system (the media includes both 32 bit and 64 bit versions).

  2. Click Setup.exe to start the setup process. The DCS Installation Wizard welcome page appears.

  5. DCS Installation Wizard welcome page

  6. Note

    The Setup program examines your system to verify that it meets DCS requirements. If your system does not meet the requirements, the installation process will terminate. Resolve the problem, and then restart the Setup program.

  7. Click Next to continue to the End User License Agreement page.

  9. DCS End User License Agreement

  10. You must accept the license agreement to continue with the installation. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next. The Setup Installation Path and Disk Space Information page appears.

  13. Setup Installation Path and Disk Space Information page

  14. By default, DCS is installed in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft CIS\ folder. If you want to install it in a different location, click the Browse button and then select the new installation path. If you use the Browse function, click OK to return to the Setup Installation Path and Disk Space Information page.

  15. Click Next. The Custom Setup page appears.

  18. Custom Setup page

  19. The Custom Setup page displays the following list of DCS services and components. By default, all items except the client database portion of the client are installed. To change the installation options for a component, click the plus sign (+) next to the component name. To install or remove a component from the installation, click the icon next to the component name and then select the appropriate action from the drop-down list.

    • Discovery Service – allows DCS to discover service endpoints that match the supplied contract and scope.
    • Policy Store – allows DCS to configure dynamic and central services and the capabilities of each service instance.
    • Security Token Service – allows DCS services to use authentication and authorization.
    • Business Log Database – allows DCS to store request and response messages.
    • Management Service – uses an MMC plug-in to provide an administration environment for DCS. The MMC plug-in uses a Web-based administrative interface to DCS databases.
    • Application Management Service – facilitates easy deployment of custom services by providing a virtual directory and configuration files.
    • Management Console –allows services to be configured and deployed.
    • Client Component – deploys the client software development kit (SDK). This feature has two components: the SDK itself and a client database. By default, the Setup program installs the SDK only. To install the client database, click the plus sign (+) to expand the feature list, and then select the database.

  21. Note

    Notes:
    (1) To use the client database, you must install Microsoft SQL Compact Edition. The client database feature deploys the CacheDatabase.sdf file in the installation path directory. This file contains the DCSCache table. This table is a reference schema for storing cache data on the client side.
    (2) You use the same DCS installer to install all DCS core components. Therefore, if your environment has multiple computers that have different configuration requirements, you must run the Setup program multiple times, choosing the appropriate custom options for each target computer.
    (3) If the computer is running Windows Server 2008 and user account control (UAC) is enabled, you might be unable to access the Program Files folder. Therefore, we recommend that you install the client components (including the cache database) in a location other than the Program Files folder. The folder should have read/write permission for the user who will use the client application. You can install the DCS runtime and the DCS Developer Toolkit in the default installation path (C:\Program Files...).

  22. Select the components and services that you want to install:

    • To accept the defaults, go to step 8.

    • If you want to install only one component, for example if you want to install the Discovery Service on a single server, select Installed on First Use from the drop-down list, and then for all other services on the list, select X from the drop-down list.

    • If you want to add service capacity to an existing DCS service, add a new DCS server and then configure it to use the existing data source. To do this, run the DCS Setup program on the new server. On the Custom Setup page, find the service that you want to install and then click the plus sign (+) next to the service name. The component and corresponding database name appear. Click the icon next to the database name, and then select Not Available (X) from the drop-down list. This removes the database from the list of installed service options. The following figure shows the Custom Setup page configured to install the Discovery Service without installing the Discovery Service database.
