Installation and configuration

Learn to install and configure CRM.webservices.

Below are the steps for installation and configuration:

Installation

Aurea software AG provides an installation wizard that guides you through the installation of CRM.webservices.

Basically the setup does not require any manual input.

Note: If you are installing CRM.webservices on a machine with under Windows 7 64Bit and IIS 7.0 a warning message is displayed and you have to ensure that you enable anonymous access in IIS.

– in course of the setup procedure an application pool (CRMwebservices) and a virtual directory in IIS is created.

If a matching update.CRM win installation is found, the data base connection settings are copied from this installation to the CRM.interface installation. If such an installation is not found you have to manually define the connection string to your update.CRM data base in the mmdb.ini

Note: By default the mmdb.ini is located in C:\Program Files\update.CRM\CRM.webservices\web\system\sys

Configuration and Logging

Basically no manual configuration is required after running the installation wizard. CRM.webservices lives in the update.CRM server framework as a plug-in and is based on CRM.interface. Therefore it's configured via:

  • the settings.xml of the framework (\web) and
  • additionally via the settings.xml of the framework (\web\system)

CRM.webservices generates two log files:

  1. webservices.log
  2. u8_interface.log
