    Prerequisite Checks

    Background checks are run to ensure common prerequisites are met. If a prerequisite fails, the components dependent on those prerequisites are not installed.


     
  • On the Setup type screen, choose:
    • Typical – a default installation where all components are installed on the local server
    • Custom – a distributed installation where you choose where to install the components
     
    • The Database server configuration screen is only displayed if the wizard cannot locate a default instance on the local server when you opt for a typical install. This option allows you to install the database on a remote server and the rest of the NightWatchman Management Center components on the local server.

    Later screens may require prerequisites for optional features.

    Click Next to go to the next screen.

    Installing NightWatchman on a distributed environment

    If you are installing separate components in a distributed system, you must ensure each server meets relevant Prerequisites. You will need to run the installer once for each group of components you want to install separately.

    ComponentDescription
    Database 

    Installs database support components on the local application server, as well as the SQL Server database and SQL Agent jobs on the SQL Server database instance that you specify in next screen.

    You can only have one instance of the database components per implementation.

    The database holds all the information returned by NightWatchman clients and the WakeUp agents and forms the basis for the reports, as well as the configuration settings, and policies.

    The default name of the database is AgilityFrameworkReporting.

    Report Console

    Installs the Reporting website, and the following reports:

    • NightWatchman Reports - power consumption, performance, and computer availability
    • WakeUp Reports

    You can only have 1 instance of the Reporting Website per implementation.

    Requires the Database component to be installed at the same time, or already on a remote server. 

    For information about using these reports, please refer to Reporting.

    Services 

    Installs the following:

    • Web Service - manages communications between the NightWatchman clients
    • Console Service - manages communications between the NightWatchman console and the database - includes the optional Import Wizard

    You can have up to 3 instances of the Web service feeding into a single database. 

    Requires the Database component to be installed at the same time, or already on a remote server. 

    Multiple-instances also cover hybrid environments using both HTTP and HTTPS communications (for example, HTTP for intranet-based and HTTPS for internet-based communications). Set the NightWatchman clients and WakeUp implementations in each region to communicate with the Web service using their respective protocols.

    Console 

    Installs the NightWatchman Management Console.

    You can have up to 10 instances of the console but they must be installed on computers with network access to the server where the Console service is running.

    Requires the Database and Services components to be installed at the same time, or already on remote server(s). 

    Analysis Reports 

    Installs the Analysis Teports. For information about how to use these, please refer to:

    You can only have one instance of the Analysis reports component per implementation.

    Requires the Database and Services components to be installed at the same time, or already on remote server(s). 


    By default, these components are installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\1E\NightWatchman Management Center\  

    You can select a new location by clicking Change... and navigating to a new folder.

    and that the ActiveEfficiency Server is accessible using the NetBIOS name provided. If either of these are not configured, a dialog is displayed informing you that the installer cannot access ActiveEfficiency server and the installation will not continue until the issue is resolved. If the issue is related to an incorrect NetBIOS name, correct the information in the installer and click Next again. If the issue is related to MSMQ not being enabled, you will have to abort the installation, resolve the issue and restart the installation.

    , then you will have to abort the installation, resolve the issue and restart the installation.

    If you are using ActiveEfficiency, then MSMQ must also be enabled on the ActiveEfficiency Server.

    If you are using Tachyon Platform, then MSMQ is not required on the Tachyon server, and MSQM is only required on the NightWatchman server to enable installation to proceed.


    Note

    If the installer is unable to contact an ActiveEfficiency or Tachyon server, the installation will not proceed until the issue is resolved, and you click Next again.


    Info

    In previous versions of Nightwatchman, ActiveEfficiency was also used for the 1E Cloud synchronization feature, which is now obsolete. ActiveEfficiency is now only used for the Nomad integration with WakeUp feature, previously known as the WakeUp integration with ActiveEfficiency feature.

    Installing NightWatchman on a distributed environment

    1. For a distributed installation, follow steps 1-3 above.
       
    2. On the Setup Type screen, choose Custom. Ensure you have the supported platforms in place before you start. You will need to run the installer once for each group of components you want to install separately. These features are:
      • Database – installs the NightWatchman Management Center reporting database. It holds all the information returned by NightWatchman clients and the WakeUp agents and forms the basis for the reports. You can only have one instance of the database per implementation.
      • Report console – view NightWatchman (power consumption and performance) and WakeUp (computer availability) reports from the Reporting Website. You can only have 1 instance of the Reporting Website per implementation.
      • Services – Web services (manages communications between the NightWatchman clients) and Console service (manages communications between the NightWatchman console and the database). You can have up to 3 instances of the Web service feeding into a single database. Multiple-instances also cover hybrid environments using both HTTP and HTTPS communications (for example, HTTP for intranet-based and HTTPS for internet-based communications). Set the NightWatchman clients and ~WakeUp implementations in each region to communicate with the Web service using their respective protocols.
      • Console – install the NightWatchman Management Console on separate computers. You can have up to 10 instances of the console but they must be installed on computers with network access to the server where the console is running.
      • Analysis reports – installs the analysis reports
      By default, these components are installed to C:\Program Files\1E\NightWatchman Management Center. You can select a new location by clicking Change and navigating to a new folder.
       
    3. Follow steps 5-10 above.

    Installing NightWatchman Management Center in unattended mode

    You can install NightWatchman Management Center to a large number of machines by choosing to install it in unattended mode using the /qn switch in the installer command-line.

    For example, to carry out a default installation where all the components are installed locally, run (the command-line is broken down into separate lines for clarity. Run it as a single command-line):

    Code Block
    msiexec /i NightWatchmanManagementCenter.msi 
ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_SERVER=ACME 
AESERVERNAME=localhost 
ADMINACCOUNT=ACME\Roger.WilcoNWM_Admins 
SVCUSER=ACME\SVCAccountsvc_NWMMC 
SVCPASSWORD=PswdPa55w0rd

SQLSERVER=ACMESQL

CURRENCYCODE=GBP /qn

    To install only the NightWatchman console where the NightWatchman Management Center console service is installed, run (the command-line is broken down into separate lines for clarity. Run it as a single command-line):

    Code Block
    msiexec /i NightWatchmanManagementCenter.msi 
ADDLOCAL=Console 
SERVICELOCATION=ACME023 /qn

    There are a number of installer properties which are detailed in Installing NightWatchman Management Center.

    Note
    iconfalse

    Prerequisite checks are still carried out when you run in unattended mode. If they are not met, components will not install.


    Uninstalling or repairing the NightWatchman Management Center

    The NightWatchman Management Center can be removed using the Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. To uninstall, select the NightWatchman Management Center item in the Currently Installed Programs list and click the Remove button. You can also access support information for the product in the Add or Remove Programs dialog.

    When you carry our a repair or re-installation, certain information stored for the WakeUp server is not available to the installer. You may need to configure additional WMI permissions to the service account for the WakeUp namespaces, as described in Preparation - Accounts needed to install the WakeUp server.

    To implement a repair the NightWatchman Management Center, run: Msiexec /fvom NightWatchmanManagementCenter.msi or if you are planning an upgrade, please refer to Upgrading NightWatchman Enterprise.
