Installation (Windows®)

Installation

Installation must be carried out using the user account which is to use the application.

1. Copying the installation file "install_win64_smartWARE_452.6.x.x.x.exe" (the name depends on the version number) onto the server or PC to be installed.
   

2. Starting the installation program. The Setup Wizard dialog opens and carries out the further installation process.

3. Accepting the license agreement.

4. Selecting the installation directory for the application.

5. Selecting the directory in which the application database is saved.

6. Checking the summary of installation settings.
   If changes are required, return to the relevant view with "Back". Otherwise, start the installation with "Install".

7. JUMO smartWARE Evaluation is installed on the computer.

8. Finishing the installation with "Finish".

The "JUMO smartWARE Evaluation" folder is displayed in the Windows® start menu with the program entries.

After installation is complete, the base settings must be configured. The software is then started for the first time using Supervision smartWARE and software setup.

Persistent data

Persistent data is information that is permanently saved and is retained even after a software update. This data includes transmitted process values and the JUMO smartWARE Evaluation configuration, such as dashboards or device space information.

All data recorded from the devices is saved in the Windows® user path specified during installation by the Datastore service. During standard installation this path is:

 C:\smartWAREData\datastore

The data is stored as compressed files and protected against manipulation by additional signed files. This entire set of data is called "cold data".

This directory must not be deleted. Deleting the directory or individual files included in it results in loss of the recorded data if there is no backup copy of the deleted data.

Program entries

Config smartWARE

The base configuration of JUMO smartWARE Evaluation is carried out with Config smartWARE.

Firewall update

The set ports in the operating system's firewall can be opened using the firewall update. Administrator rights are required to start the program. This may be necessary if the UAC (User Account Control) of Windows® has not detected access from "nginx.exe".

Start smartWARE

The software is started with Start smartWARE. The program entry is available, but should no longer be used, as it has been replaced by Supervision smartWARE.

Stop smartWARE

The software is stopped with Stop smartWARE. The program entry is available, but should no longer be used, as it has been replaced by Supervision smartWARE.

Supervision smartWARE

The software is started and stopped with Supervision smartWARE.

Correct running of the individual software program parts is also monitored. If a program part stops, it is automatically restarted.

When it starts for the first time, a note dialog from Windows® firewall opens, which is controlled by the Windows® UAC.

The dialog indicates that the program "nginx.exe" (part of JUMO smartWARE Evaluation) wants to access the network, but is prevented from doing so by the firewall. Access must be ensured, as otherwise no data can be received from other JUMO devices and the JUMO smartWARE Evaluation web GUI also cannot be opened on other computers in the network.

Click on "Allow access" and enable access to the network via the "nginx.exe" administrator account.

In the case of Windows Server® 2019, this firewall warning does not appear.

In this case, the firewall update has to be called up in order to open the ports in the firewall.
