Chapter 1 Client Applications Deployment Options

Thick-Client/Full-Client Deployment

Under the Thick-Client or Full-Client deployment of client/server applications like FlexiFinancials, there are two groups of computers – a server that runs database software and workstations that are operated by end users. The applications are installed and run in memory of each workstations. An upgrade to the software must be applied to the FlexiFinancials database and each to the workstations. If the database server’s hardware allows the application server and the database server can be combined on one physical computer.

Shared Network Client Deployment

1-2 FlexiFinancials® Installation Guide

Version 5.3.0

Under the Shared Network Client Deployment of FlexiFinancials applications, there are three groups of computers:

-- A server that runs database engine software

-- A server that stores files

-- Workstations that are operated by end users

The applications are installed using a network share on a file server. A network or minimal installation is then performed on each workstation to configure it to run the applications from a network UNC path. When a FlexiFinancials application is launched on a workstation, it is loaded and run in memory of each workstations. An update to the software must be applied only to the files located on to the file server, which significantly simplifies application deployment management.

Thin Client Deployment in Server-based Computing Environment

Under the Thin-Client Deployment of a FlexiFinancials application, there are four groups of computers:

-- A server that runs database software

-- A server where the Deferred Processing application runs

-- A server for Server-based Computing (SbC) that runs application virtualization software like Microsoft Terminal Services or Citrix


The FlexiFinancials applications are installed on the Terminal Services/Citrix Server and the application server. Workstations are equipped with Terminal Server or Citrix client software. When a FlexiFinancials application is launched on a workstation, it is loaded in memory of the central server and a remote access client application is launched on a workstation allowing a user to interact with the application running on the central server. An update to the software must be applied only to the files located on to the SbC server(s) and the application server, which simplifies application deployment management.

Chapter 1 -- Client Applications Deployment Options 1-3

June 2011

The Thin-Client deployment configuration may also have a file server component described in the Shared Network Installation section above. This is particularly helpful if there is a farm of SbC servers. In this case the FlexiFinancials files will be physically deployed to a File/Application Server and SbC servers will load and run these files in memory. This approach simplifies management of SbC server farms as it relates to the FlexiFinancials applications.

Virtual Server Deployment

Under the Virtual Server deployment of a client/server application like FlexiFinancials, there are two groups of physical computers:

-- A host server that runs server virtualization software


Database engine software is loaded on a virtual server, which represents a guest operation system running within the context of the virtualization host. The FlexiFinancials applications are installed and run in memory of each workstations. An upgrade to the software must be applied to the database server and each to the workstations.

The Virtual Server deployment configuration may also have features of the other deployment approaches as discussed earlier in this document.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Deployment

At this time Flexi Software has not performed any formal certification with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure environments, such as VMware View/VMware VDI, Citrix XenDesktop and Microsoft Desktop Virtualization. Official support of such platforms is planned for the future.

Best Practice for Cost-Effective Deployment


Version 5.3.0

The deployment architecture presented above represents one of most cost-effective deployments. The approach is based on a combination of deployment options outlined earlier in the document. It capitalizes on efficiencies of server virtualization architecture and provides the easiest method of deployment for initial installation and deployment of software updates. Please discuss feasibility of this approach or its variations with your implementation consultant.

Chapter 2 Establishing a FlexiFinancials Database

Establishing a FlexiFinancials Database

This section covers new implementation of the software. If you are upgrading from a prior version of the software, refer to the FlexiFinancials Upgrade Guide for further instructions.

After you install FlexiFinancials, you are ready to establish a FlexiFinancials Database by:

--Creating and initializing the FlexiFinancials database

--Installing the Database Creation Utility

--Creating the Financial Processing Set

Terminology

This topic refers to the terms and acronyms that may be unfamiliar to you. These include:

FDP

Files with an FDP extension contain the Flexi Database Procedures that establish database tables, install triggers and set up stored procedures.

Processing Set

A processing set is an assemblage of application data with a single focus. Typically, a processing set includes data provided by multiple applications. Concurrently, a single application can contribute data to multiple processing sets.

Creating and Initializing the Flexi Database

Create a database using the same server and db naming convention. Test the connections between the client and server in the opening phase of installation.


Version 5.3.0

Installing the Database Creation Utility

The ―script‖ and ―utility‖ files contain the tables, stored procedures, and triggers. Before you can install the Database Creation Utility, you must have selected to install the Utility Application Files during Step 6: Choose Applications to Install of the InstallShield Wizard as shown in the screen shot below.

Tip: It is recommended that this be installed on and run from the SQL Server.

Be careful!

The syntax of the settings is case sensitive. Be sure to use the appropriate upper and lower-case characters.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 1: Activate the Database Creation Utility

1. From the Start menu, select All Programs. Hover your mouse over FlexiFinancials 2011 and then select Database Creation Utility.

Chapter 2 -- Establishing a FlexiFinancials Database 2-3

June 2011

The Welcome to Flexi DB Creation Utility window appears. Read the instructions and click the Next button to continue.

2. Click Next.


Version 5.3.0

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 2: Select the Database Provider

The Data Link Properties dialog box opens.

Note: When the Data Link Properties dialog box opens, DO NOT click Next until you have selected the correct database. The dialog box opens and highlights a default database. You need to select the database provider you want to connect to.

IMPORTANT!

If you are running on a SQL Server, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server. If you are running Oracle, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle.

2. Click Next.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 3: Test the Connection

1. Depending on which Database Provider you selected (SQL or Oracle), one of the following dialog boxes will appear. These dialog boxes allow you to enter/select the server name (SQL) and database name (Oracle), and the User Name and Password to log on to the


June 2011

server/database. You are then able to test the connection to the database. If you select Use Windows NT Integrated security, the Database Creation Utility will use your Windows login credentials to authenticate and log you on to the server. No other User Name or Password is required.

Notes:

-- For users connecting to a SQL Server – if the server name does not appear in the drop-down list, click Refresh and then select the server name from the drop-down list. You will also need to select the database on the server for which the credentials are valid.

-- For users connecting to an Oracle database, you will need to enter the net service name of an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for the database that is being migrated.


Version 5.3.0

2. Click Test Connection. The following message will appear upon successful connection.


June 2011

3. Click OK and then click OK on the Data Link Properties dialog box.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 4: Review Information about Flexi Database

The ―Flexi Database Info‖ dialog displays server and database information to show you where the install will be performed. Click the Next button to continue.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 5: Login Information Entry Screen


Version 5.3.0

Prior to running the install scripts, the system administrator may need to work with and modify databases. The system administrator can either enter a Login ID and Password or use their Windows login credentials to authenticate and log on to the server.

If using a Login ID and Password, use the SA login and associated password for MS SQL, and the SYS login and associated password for Oracle.

Click Next to continue.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 6: Review Install Description

The Install Description dialog displays which install scripts are going to be executed and in what order. If you want to save the output to a file, click Output Command List to open the Save As dialog box. Otherwise, click Next to continue.


June 2011

The scripts will execute and the database schema built, including tables, views, stored procedures, triggers, etc. A progress meter displays while the script is processing. No screens will display until the processing is complete. If one of the scripts fails, an error message will display and the utility will terminate.

Note: The Oracle script will create the FLX_ACCTG tablespace, whereas the MSSQL script will not. When creating the database, Oracle will automatically allocate tablespace for FLX_ACCTG. A tablespace is an allocation of space in the database where the actual data is stored.


Version 5.3.0

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 7: Review DB Creation Execution Results

Once the scripts have processed, the DB Creation Execution Results window appears.

Click the Save File button to save the Log File for later reference. Click the Next button to load new data to your database and complete the process.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 8: Load Post Process Data

Once you have reviewed the results of the DB Creation Execution Results, you have the option to load Data Dictionary (FARY or Flexi Array), Metadata, and Application Report Templates to your database all from this one window, rather than performing these operations in the SignOn windows. The Source directories are set to the default location of the execution directory. You can change these directories if desired. If you select a different Source directory for the Data Dictionary, the system will update the Target Data Dictionary version number. If the version number retrieved from the file does not follow the xx.xx.xx format or if the file can't be read, the Target Data Dictionary version number will appear as "Invalid."


June 2011

Click the Next button to execute the selected actions. If any of the selected data cannot be validated by the system, you will receive an error message. In addition, if the system cannot load any of the new data, the Install Completed window will inform you of errors.

If you do not wish to load new data at this time, you can click the Skip button to finish the DB Creation process.

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 9: Load System Processing Set Data

The Load System Processing Set Data window loads processing set default values. Again, you can perform this step on this window, rather than performing these operations in the SignOn windows.

Click the Next button to execute the action. If the selected data cannot be validated by the system, you will receive an error message. In addition, if the system cannot load the new processing set, the Install Completed window will inform you of errors.

As with the previous window, if you do not wish to load processing sets at this time, you can click the Skip button to finish the Database Creation process.


Version 5.3.0

Running the Database Creation Utility - Step 10: Complete the Install

The DB Creation Completed dialog box appears. If you attempted to load new data on the prior windows and the system could not load the new data, the DB Creation Completed window will inform you of errors. Click the Finish button to exit the utility. Report any errors to Flexi Support.


June 2011

Step 3: Create the Financial Processing Set

The financial processing set includes the operating information associated with each application module that is part of your FlexiFinancials system—as well as your accounting results and records.

Initialization

1. Double-click the SignOn (FSN32.EXE) icon to open the SignOn dialog window.

2. Type FLXADM in the User ID field.

3. Type FLXADM in the Password field.

4. Click SYSTEM in the Alias field.

5. Click the Application Setup button to open the Database Maintenance dialog window.

6. Click the DB Maint button to open the Database Maintenance dialog window.

7. Select each application module that is to be part of the financial processing set in the Create Process Set group box.

8. Type the name of the new financial processing set in the Name field.

9. Type FLXADM in the Owner field.

10. Click the Process button. A message appears indicating its success when initialization is complete.

11. Click OK to close the Database Maintenance dialog window.

12. Sign on to the Control module under the System Processing Set. In the Control application, create the Financial Processing Name in the Processing Set Setup section. Once this is done, close Control and SignOn to create the Alias for the Financial Processing Set. Follow Step 4 to set up the Alias ONLY!


Version 5.3.0

SignOn Security

The SignOn application starts before any other Control application to be sure that only authorized users can work with the database and use the appropriate Control applications.

The public database connection provides users with the necessary access through the front-end GUI of an application. SignOn fails if there is no FLXPUBLIC. When FLXPUBLIC exists, everyone accesses the database through an application's GUI, and performs just those tasks assigned to the group or groups to which their User ID belongs.

The Verify DB User ID check box on the SignOn Security window requires two identical IDs and passwords to increase security by having two functions maintain identical names and passwords. This method does not allow direct access to the database, controls front-end access with the system's group and task features, and has the maximum security.


June 2011

For more information about the SignOn Security window, please refer to the SignOn Security Overview section in Control.

SignOn Security data is defined, entered and stored in the following ways:

--User Records. You will use the Control application Security functions to provide each of your users with a unique SignOn User ID and SignOn Password. These User IDs and Passwords are stored in the USRC table.

--SignOn Dialog Window. As the first step in the SignOn Process, a user enters his or her SignOn User ID and SignOn Password in the appropriate fields of the SignOn dialog window.

Encrypting the Database

Encryption of the database adds another, important level of database security. The steps below outline encryption steps and the impact of encryption on the SignOn process.

1. Open your FLEXI.INI file.

2. In the Resource.DLL section, verify this setting: Signon=fsneng.dll

3. Before assigning the encryption key, first verify this specification in the [FlexiWare32] section of the FLEXI.INI file: DBMaintID=FLEXIPOWER

The FLEXIPOWER setting displays the USER SQL button in the Database Maintenance dialog window.


Version 5.3.0

4. Start SignOn or the Control application to open the SignOn dialog window.

5. Complete the User ID, Password and Processing Set fields of the SignOn dialog window, and then select the DB Maint button to open the Database Maintenance dialog window.

6. Select the User SQL button to open the Run User SQL dialog window.

7. Type the following in the Enter SQL Command area:

ENCRYPT FLEXI DB K=<encryption key>

8. Click the OK button on the Run User SQL dialog window to initiate the encryption process. This encrypts all passwords in the SYTB and USRC tables, and displays status and completion messages in the SQL Messages area.

Chapter 3 INI Files and User Specific Settings

INI Files and User Specific Settings

The Installing Files section examined the procedures to define INI file specifications. This topic looks more closely at the nature and settings of the various INI files that use these specifications.

FlexiFinancials applications use INI files that contain the system's initialization settings, or how the system behaves once launched. There is a separate FLEXI.INI file for each user, which is stored on the user's PC. User-specific settings are set up in Control.

Batch Server and Database Server

The Server Name that you enter may or may not be the same as the Server Name specified in a user's FLEXI.INI file. It may be different if the Batch server is on the Database server — it should be whatever is needed to connect to the local database.

The FLEXI.INI file for the Batch Sever is copied when loading the server application files (Installing Files). .

The server's FLEXI.INI file should reside in the directory containing the FBTC32 files. Applications will look first in this directory when searching for .INI settings and then in:

1. Directory (specified in the FLEXI_INI_FILES environment variable)

2. The current directory.

3. The Windows directory.

INI Files and INI Data Groups

Open a FLEXI.INI file using the Open command with File Manager, Explorer, or a text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad.

You can open an flxglobal.in1 file the same way as you open a FLEXI.INI, but flxglobal.in1 files cannot be maintained on each user's local hard disk. Use the INI Data Groups dialog window in the Control application to maintain an application's INI file for a group and/or an individual. You copy an application's INI settings into a large text box. Members of an INI Data group all use the same application INI settings. Select System, INI Groups to open the INI Data Groups dialog window in the Control application. Administrators may also create personal INI Data for an individual user (Select the INI Data button in the Users dialog window).


Version 5.3.0

Group INI data specifies users who are part of a group and an application's INI file settings so that an INI file does not have to be stored and maintained on each user's PC for each application. The Group INI data is stored in the STKN table. Starting an application reads the INI information from tables for that processing set's INI Data Group, unless it is overridden by Personal INI data for a specific User ID. See Chapter 6 for information about Personal INI data.

Note: INI Data Groups are not required. The system has default INI settings that it uses. These INI Data Groups are intended to allow clients to override the system defaults with their custom preferences.

The folder that has the application files also has a master IN1 file - flxglobal.in1, which contains the master parameter settings of each application's INI files.

It is recommended that Administrators use Notepad to open the master IN1 file for an application. Then copy and paste the IN1 file from Notepad into the Edit Processing Set INI Data dialog box instead of typing all of the application's INI file settings. Edit the IN1 to specify the settings that you want. This leaves a valid master copy on the server and avoids makes typographical errors while entering the settings.

Personal INI Data

Personal INI data, like group INI data, specifies an application's INI file settings so that the INI file does not have to be stored on a user's PC. Personal INI data is stored in the STKN table. Starting an application reads the INI information stored in the STKN table for either a user or a user's group.

Personal INI data overrides the INI data of any group to which it belongs. It is recommended that Group INI Data dialog box be copied to the Create or Edit User INI Data dialog box, and then edited for an individual.

The Create or Edit User INI Data dialog window in Control is a large text entry box that has basic text editing capabilities. Open the Edit Processing Set INI Data dialog to copy and paste the group INI data here. You must use the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste) to do this. Edit the user's INI data to meet that person's exceptions to the Group INI Data.

Global Settings - flxglobal.in1

Until recently, FlexiFinancials contained several IN1 master templates for each application; e.g., fgl000.in1, fap000.in1, etc. Each master template held the INI settings for the associated application. To improve efficiency and reduce duplicate, obsolete, or redundant settings, all application IN1 files have been consolidated into a single IN1 file: flxglobal.in1. It is now easier to manage IN1 application settings.

The flxglobal.IN1 file is the master file that is comprised of global settings for the application that everyone will use. It basically defines system behavior for users assigned to an INI data

Chapter 3 -- INI Files and User Specific Settings 3-3

June 2011

group. Once the behavior is identified and a group is created, simply copy the settings you need from the flxglobal.in1, modify the values, and assign users to an INI group.

FlexiFinancials applications use INI files. There is a separate FLEXI.INI file for each user, which is stored on the user's PC. User-specific settings are set up in Control.

The flxglobal.in1 file is divided into the following sections:

Global Color Settings for Data Entry Fields

Spreadsheet Default Settings

Spreadsheet Column Order Settings

General Ledger Application Configuration Settings

Accounts Payable Application Configuration Settings

Accounts Receivable Application Configuration Settings

General Fixed Assets Application Configuration Settings

Copy flxglobal.in1 settings to INI Data Groups

To copy settings from the master flxglobal.in1 template, open Control and follow the steps below:

1. Using the Ribbon navigation, select the Parameters tab. In the System group, click INI Settings. The INI Data Groups window appears.

Using the Menu navigation, with the Control tab selected, click INI Setting in the System group. The INI Data Groups window appears.

2. In the INI Data Group Code field, click the look-up icon to search for an existing INI Group Code. You can also enter a new INI Data Group Code in this field.

3. Click the INI data... button. The Edit Processing Set INI Data dialog box appears.


Version 5.3.0

4. Select the text you are going to replace and press the Delete key. Copy the settings from the flxglobal.in1 file and paste them into the Edit Processing Set INI Data dialog box.

5. Click OK. The settings will be saved in the database. When the user logs on, the system will function according to the settings in the INI file.

ConnPoolMaxTime Maximum Connection Pool Time ConnPoolMaxTime=300000

ConnPoolMaxTime controls the maximum time a connection can sit idle in the pool before being closed. This is measured in milliseconds (i.e. 20000 is 20 seconds. The default currently is 5 minutes. Connection pooling improves performance of our application because our application often opens and closes connections as it works. This is a time consuming process. Connection pooling improves performance by reducing the number of connection opens and closes.

thread wakes up and purges items from the cache which haven't been used in a while. To further clarify, when the program is done with a connection, it adds it to the cache where it will stay until it remains unused for a certain period of time or until it can be reused—see ConnectionCacheTimeoutInSeconds.

This value is used by the background thread (see above in the case where ConnectionCacheCleanFrequencyInSeconds > 0). If an item in the cache hasn't been used in more than ConnectionCacheTimeoutInSeconds seconds, then when the background thread runs it will dispose of the item.

ConservativeLogicalLocking

If two users attempt to access the same record within FlexiFinancials, such as a journal record, an invoice, or a payment, the system will lock the record. The system will record the user ID and Port ID in a logical lock table (FLOK). Based on conservative lock settings established in the Flexi.ini file, the locked record can be cleared automatically when the user signs on with the same user ID and Port ID or cleared manually by a system administrator.

1: Conservative locking is on and no FLOK entries will be cleared and deleted when SignOn starts. This is the default setting. There is an application function that allows system administrators to manually clear the locked entries.

0: Conservative locking is off and FLOK entries for the current user will be cleared and deleted when SignOn starts.

Chapter 4 Installing Files

Pre-Requisites

WebServices Installation under Windows Server 2008

The WebServices install requires "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" to be installed within IIS7. If "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" is not installed then the WebServices install will fail with a very brief error message. Details for installing "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" within IIS7 can be found at this Microsoft web page

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397374.aspx

WebServices Installation under Windows Server 2003 64-bit

In order for WebServices to run successfully under Windows Server 2008 64bit, ASP.NET 2.0 needs to be running in 32-bit mode. Details for setting ASP.NET 2.0 to run in 32-bit mode can be found at this Microsoft web page

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435

Note: Under MS Vista, as well as Windows XP, many file locations are protected for security reasons; and, as a result, files cannot be written to them unless the logged-in user has administrator privileges. Commonly, the root directory of the C drive (C:\), as well as the Windows folder (C:\Windows) and Windows sub folders, are protected. This means that if the logged-in user does not have administrator permissions, the write operation will fail when that user attempts to write a file to these locations. It is recommended that, when setting output folder locations, the user set up a newly created folder while being logged in under his or her username.

In response to the higher level of security the newer operating systems have, the applications have been modified to write error or log files that are encountered during import processing out to the same folder from which the import file was read and processed. This means that if the import file was located in C:\ImportFiles\data.ffl, the error file would be written to C:\ImportFiles\data.err and the log file to C:\ImportFiles\data.log.

Users who have administrator privileges can still write files to the protected locations; however, it is not encouraged.

Preparing for Microsoft SharePoint 2010

A new security feature in SharePoint 2010 now prompts you to either open or save a PDF file. Previously, the PDF file would open directly in Flexi's Image Viewer window. However, with this new security feature, PDF files no longer open directly in the browser. You must modify the Browser File Handling option at the application level.

To modify the Browser File Handling security option:

1. Log into Central Administration for Sharepoint 2010.

2. Under Application Management, click Manage web applications.

3. Select the web application that needs to be configured and then click General Settings.

4. Scroll down to the Browser File Handling section and select the Permissive radio button.

5. Click OK to save the setting.

This security setting was added to SharePoint 2010 to protect against certain types of malicious attacks. For this reason, the SharePoint Administrator may not want to change this setting.

Chapter 4 -- Installing Files 4-3

June 2011

Flexi uses an embedded browser in the Image Viewer window to view PDF files. The Image Viewer window can be accessed by clicking the View button in the Imaging group on windows, such as the Invoice Inquiry window in Payables.

FlexiSoftware CD ROM

All Flexi code comes to you on a specially prepared CD ROM.

Each CD ROM contains the latest edition of the software applicable to your configuration.

Navigation Techniques

The Database Creation Utility walks you through a series of screens so that you can easily provide the information necessary to execute the installation on your database(s).

Most screens display important messages, ask for information, and require a decision. The Database Creation Utility's messages are instructions, comments and, occasionally, warnings.

Use a screen's data entry fields to provide the utility with the data it needs to proceed.

Use the three action buttons to:

--Go to the previous screen (<Back).

--Go to the next screen (Next>).

--Exit the Database Creation Utility (Cancel).

Silent Installation of Client Applications

Silent mode is when an Administrator records the steps of the Installation Wizard into a "playback" or "response" file. The installation can then be invoked on other computers via a command line script or other system command, like Windows logon script, with the response file. The installation will perform actions as recorded by the Administrator without prompting a user for any clicks or other actions.

For the Administrator to record the response file:

1. Launch the Install via the command line with the following parameters, which opens the Install in a GUI:

<InstallationPackageFile>.exe /v"RSS=ENABLED"

For example: FlexiFinancials2011.exe /v"RSS=ENABLED"


Version 5.3.0

2. Enter the SignOn alias information and select the appropriate features you desire.

Upon completion of the Install, a response.xml should generate in C:\Windows.

Note: Verify that you are running as the Administrator and that your system security settings allow writing to the windows folder.

Note the listing of files and directories that are installed based on the selected features.

For the Administrator to launch a silent installation on another workstation:

1. Copy the response.xml file created during the initial installation to a location where it can be accessed from a client computer. For example: c:\ (drive of a local computer).

2. Launch the installation in silent mode using the response.xml from above by issuing the following command line statement:

<InstallationPackageFile>.exe /v"RSS_PATH=\"C:\\"" /v"RSS_FILE=response.xml" /S /v/qn

For example: FlexiFinancials2011.exe /v"RSS_PATH=\"C:\\"" /v"RSS_FILE=response.xml" /S /v/qn

Note: In the example above, "C:\" is the path and "response.xml" is the response file.

InstallShield Wizard

The InstallShield Wizard copies the files to the hard disk of a computer. It is series of ten steps, and each one has a dialog window. Except for the opening and closing dialog windows, each allows you to move forward to the next step, or back to the previous one.

Important: Please make sure you have a backup of your previous application files before running this installation. Multiple versions of Flexi applications may co-exist on a single workstation if installed in two separate directories. However, only one set of applications may be executed at any time.

The install process utilizes the latest InstallShield Software and Microsoft Installer Services. There are significant changes which completely alter the install process from previous releases. The InstallShield Wizard will guide you through the process. The following steps will help to explain each screen and installation options.

* Alert! Be sure to close all application programs running on your computer before beginning the InstallShield Wizard Process.

InstallShield Wizard - Step 1: Start the InstallShield Wizard

Opens the CD ROM drive and begins the functions of the InstallShield Wizard. If the application will be used through Citrix or Terminal Services, the install process has to run from Control Panel - Add/Remove programs.


June 2011

Note: The installation requires you to have administrator rights for the workstation/server on which the software is being installed.

1. Verify that the SignOn application is not running.

2. Exit all other application programs.

3. Insert the CD. An AutoRun file is included on the CD that automatically launches the FlexiFinancials installation. However, you can also manually double-click the FlexiFinancials2011.exe file to install updated client application files.

FlexiFinancials 2011 requires the installation of Crystal Reports and .net 4.0 framework before installing FlexiFinancials. Click Install to install these components.

You will see the Preparing to Install and Welcome windows.


Version 5.3.0

The Wizard's Welcome dialog window opens.

4. Click Next. On the License Agreement window, click the "I accept the terms in the license agreement" radio button and then click Next.


June 2011

InstallShield Wizard - Step 2: Enter Customer Information

The InstallShield Wizard uses information that you type in the Customer Information dialog window to define or validate security parameters.

1. In the User Name field, enter your name.

2. In the Organization field, enter the name of your company or organization.

3. Click Next to continue.

InstallShield Wizard - Step 3: Choose a Database Platform

Select either MSSQL Server or Oracle and then click Next.

InstallShield Wizard - Step 4: SignOn Connection Alias Properties

If you are installing client application files for the first time, the field entries on the SignOn Connection Alias Properties window will indicate what information is needed from you to define the attributes of your default SignOn Alias.

If you have previously connected to a FlexiFinancials database, InstallShield will populate the fields with alias information from the Application Setup window in SignOn.


Version 5.3.0

Click Next to continue.

Installation Wizard - Step 5: Specify a Setup Type

The Setup Type dialog window is the next to open in the installation process. This step determines a configuration code. The Installation Wizard will load the configuration you specify in this step.

There are four setup types. Each contains a different assortment of application and database code. Select a Setup Type and then click Next to continue.


June 2011

InstallShield Wizard - Step 6: Choose Applications to Install

Choose the application components you wish to install by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the file or feature and selecting the option to install to your local hard drive. Click the plus sign (+) to expand options for Client Application Files or Utility Application Files.

Note: The red "X" indicates that the file or feature will not be installed.


Version 5.3.0

Important!

Before you can install the Database Creation Wizard, you must click the plus sign (+) next to Utility Application Files to expand the options. Click the drop-down box next to Database Creation Utility and select the appropriate option.

Here is a list of the options in the Select Features dialog window:

-- Client Application Files. This refers to the Client Code application availability.

-- Server Application Files. This refers to the Deferred Process Code.

-- Utility Application Files. This refers to the Utility Tools used for Database Creation.

-- COM Application Files. This refers to the download of the Active X controls.

-- WebServices Files. This refers to the download of the FlexiFinancials WebServices.

Note: WebServices automatically installs the COM application files.

Important!

Flexi created an automatic Database Upgrade Utility to make the upgrade process easier. If you do not install the Utility Application Files in this installation process, make sure to review the FlexiFinancials Upgrade Guide on the CD-ROM under the ―Doc‖ folder‖ for further instruction on how to install the upgrade utility and complete the upgrade.

Click the Next button to continue.


June 2011

InstallShield Wizard - Step 7: Choose a Destination Folder

This step specifies where your code is stored - where the application files will be installed.

The Destination Folder window looks similar to the following if you have specified one of the Server Setup Types or a full installation of a Client Setup Type. Here you are given the option to specify the name of the shortcut folder. After you complete the install, shortcuts are created under the folder name you've specified. The default folder name is "FlexiFinancials 2011." The advantage of this field is you get to pick the name of the folder that the shortcuts are installed under in the Start menu. For example, if your company is installing multiple versions of FlexiFinancials side-by-side for testing purposes, you may want to give the shortcut folder a more meaningful name to keep different versions separate and identifiable.

1. Click OK if the destination directory is correct.

OR

Click the Change button to open the Choose Folder dialog window.

2. In the Look in field, click the drop-down arrow to browse to a local drive or a network drive. You can also use the folder icons to the right of this field to move up a folder level or create a new folder.

3. The folders for a drive appear underneath the Look in field. Select a folder name or type a new Folder name directly into the Folder name field. Click OK to return to the Choose Destination Location dialog window.

4. Click Next.

InstallShield Wizard - Step 8: Install FlexiFinancials

You are now ready to begin installing the FlexiFinancials applications. Click the Install button.

A progress indicator displays the status of the installation.

Installation Wizard - Step 9: Conclude the Installation Process

Click the Finish button to close the InstallShield Wizard after the code has been loaded.
