   Run the ActiveEfficiencyServer.msi. If you are running the installer on a server where UAC is enabled, start it from a command-prompt with elevated permissions – you may need to reboot the server.

2. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
    
3. On the License Agreement screen, accept the license agreement and click Next.
    

4. On the Prerequisite Checks screen, the installer runs checks to see if the following are installed before it continues:
    

   Note

   All prerequisites must pass in order to continue, except for MSMQ which is recommended if you are using Nomad. If the Windows MSMQ feature is not enabled then the 1E ActiveEfficiency service component is not installed, then some Nomad features of ActiveEfficiency will not work. This service is required by: Nomad Sync (dashboard and pre-cache features) even though it does not use MSMQ Nomad integration with WakeUp feature, which does use MSMQ and requires MSMQ to also be enabled on the NightWatchman server

   
   

5. On the Destination Folder screen, choose the folder where you want ActiveEfficiency installed. By default, it installs to C:\Program Files (x86)\1E\ActiveEfficiency\. You can choose a different location by clicking Change... Click Next to continue.
    
6. On the Database Server screen, enter the name of the server where you want the ActiveEfficiency database installed and click Next. Checks are made to see if the specified machine is an SQL server.
   

   

   • If you have an existing ActiveEfficiency database you can optionally delete the existing data by checking the Drop any existing ActiveEfficiency database checkbox - if you select this option the existing data will be lost. ActiveEfficiency does not support database mirroring.

   • You can use a named instance with: <ServerName>\<InstanceName>. For example, if there is an SQL Server named instance called Admin on the server SMS01, set the SQL Server Name: field to SMS01\Admin.

     Note

     If you want to install ActiveEfficiency database on a SQL Server cluster or SQL Always-On: Option 1 - SQL Server cluster - Specify the name of the SQL Server cluster in Step 6 Option 2 - SQL Always-On - Complete the setup from Step 1 to 9 and move the database to an Always-On availability listener group Edit the following config files, search for the <connectionStrings> tag, and replace each Server=name of the Always-On availability listener group: <AE Install Directory>\Service\ ServiceHost.exe.config <AE Install Directory>\Web\WebService\ Web.config The following is an example: Code Block language xml title Old Connection String   <connectionStrings>     <add name="ActiveEfficiencyDataContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=DBServer;Database=ActiveEfficiency;Integrated Security=True;" />     <add name="MassTransit" connectionString="Server=DBServer;Database=ActiveEfficiency;Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />   </connectionStrings> Code Block language xml title New Connection String <connectionStrings>     <add name="ActiveEfficiencyDataContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=SQLHADBServer;Database=ActiveEfficiency;Integrated Security=True;" />     <add name="MassTransit" connectionString="Server=SQLHADBServer;Database=ActiveEfficiency;Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />   </connectionStrings>

7. On the ActiveEfficiency Website Settings screen, accept the defaults and Click Next or modify the default settings for the ActiveEfficiency Website by ticking the Use Custom IIS Setting checkbox.
   
   Exercise caution when doing this and ensure that any changes you make are reflected in the DNS, router and firewall. If you want to customize the settings, select the Use Custom IIS Settings option and update:

   • IIS Port – port used by the ActiveEfficiency Web API
   • IP Address – IP Address for the ActiveEfficiency Web API
   • Host Header – host reader for the ActiveEfficiency Web API. This is the server name used to locate the ActiveEfficiency Web API.

   Any customizations to the ActiveEfficiency Web API will need to be used in all the consumers of data from the ActiveEfficiency Server when configuring the connection to ActiveEfficiency server.
