3.1. Set up the Produmex Suite Installer
1. Download the correct version of the Produmex Installation Zip file to your computer from here.
- 32 bit: Produmex_WMS_x_x_ x_x.zip
- 64 bit: Produmex_WMS_x_x_ x_x.x64.zip
Note: It is not possible to mix the two versions in one environment. Make sure that you either use the 32 bit or the 64 bit version of the software per environment.
2. Extract the file to a directory (preferably with the same name as the version number, e.g. {driveletter}:\Produmex_WMS_523).
Note: It is not recommended to extract the file within the {driveletter}:\Program Files directory as this might cause interference with installed components later.
Recommended step: Keep this directory on a shared folder accessible from all servers. That way you can use the same configuration when you install and upgrade multiple components on separate systems (e.g.: an SAP server and a terminal server).
3. Locate the directory of the Produmex Suite Installer
(e.g. Produmex_WMS_XXX.x64\9.3\ProdumexSuiteInstaller) and execute the .exe. Make sure that you have administrator privileges when executing this application.
4. After launching the .exe file, the End User Licence Agreement window opens. Produmex WMS can only be installed if the License Agreement is accepted.
The system proceeds to the Produmex Suite Installer and you can start the configuration of the General tab.
3.1.1. General tab
This section describes the initial setup of the Produmex Suite Installer.
This configuration can be saved and reused for upgrades and it can also be modified (see section 5. Adding a New Database to an Existing Installation).
3.1.1.1. System and server related fields
1. Computer name
Displays the name of the server we are currently running the Produmex Suite Installer on. It is recommended to start the installation on the SAP server.
2. SAP license server
Provide the domain name of the server where the SAP license service is installed. This name should be exactly the same as the one configured in SLD and should include the port number of the SAP license server. On MSSQL, the port number is typically 30000, on HANA the port number is typically 40000.
3. DB server address
Provide the domain name of the server where the database is installed.
On HANA environment the port number of the database server should also be included.
- Single-Database: The default port number is 30015.
- Multi-Database: The DATABASENAME parameter must be used: DBA@< >. The default port is 30013. Example:
4. DB server type
Select the type of the database management system installed on the server.
5. DB user name
Provide the database username that has database owner rights on the SBO company database(s).
If you install Produmex WMS on Cloud Environment managed by Cloud Control Center, make sure that the necessary extra database authorizations are granted for the tenant’s database credentials.
6. DB password
Provide the database user password.
7. DB culture
Provide the database culture.
3.1.1.2. Database and company related fields
1. Environment
Select Production or Test environment.
This field corresponds to the Target Environment selected on top of the Produmex SuiteInstaller. This feature can be used to install two different versions of the Produmex Suite Installer on one server. One version can be the test version, and the other version can be the production version.
This field informs the system about the database/company that will be part of the production environment and about the database/company that will be used as a test database.
2. Alias
Provide the Alias for the “ConnectionString”. This is the name you will use during installation and configuration.
Note: It is recommended to use the database name as your alias.
3. Company database
Provide the name of the company database.
4. SAP user name
Provide the SAP user name. Typically the manager user is used here.
If you install Produmex WMS on Cloud Environment managed by Cloud Control Center, provide the SAP user name in the format of domain\Windows username.
5. SAP password
Provide the SAP user password.
If you install Produmex WMS on Cloud Environment managed by Cloud Control Center, provide the Windows password of the user.
Note: Make sure that you fill in the Alias, the Company database, the SAP user name and the SAP password fields, otherwise the system displays an error message when installing the Produmex components.
Testing connection
There are two …test… buttons for each database/company.
- The first button tests the SBO connection trough DI-API. Click the button to start the test and once the test is done, click
OK. - The second button tests the direct SQL connection trough SQL Native Client. Click the button to start the test and once the test is done, click
OK.
Click the Save button in the bottom right corner.
Note: When saving the configuration, the system creates a .config file that can be used later for potential upgrades.
3.1.2. Create a new tab per server
If you run the Produmex Suite Installer from a shared folder that is accessible from different servers, it is recommended to create a new tab for each server. Typically, there are at least 2 servers.
- SAP server with the Produmex Tools, Fat Client & License Service (and other optional services) installed
- Terminal server with the Produmex Fat Client installed
Note: The Produmex license server should be installed on the same server as the SAP license server in MS SQL environment (not in HANA environment).
1. Add a new tab (for the SAP server in this example) by clicking on the + icon next to the General tab.
2. Provide the name of the SAP server and click OK.
3.1.3. System assignment
On the new tab click Assign to this Computer and the name of the server appears on the System Assignment field.
The Produmex Suite Installer is informed that this is the server you are currently working on. This is saved and next time the tool will open on the correct tab, depending on the server you are opening it on.
