Installation and Configuration on Premise

The components listed in section Components can be found on the Aras Innovator CD in the Scheduler folder.

1. Copy the InnovatorService.exe file and all files into any folder.
2. Copy the InnovatorServiceConfig.xml file into the same folder.
3. In the Folder selected in step 2, run the BAT file InstallService.bat. This program runs the standard .NET utility named INSTALLUTIL. This program leaves a set of .NET log files in the working directory which should be checked for error messages, and then deleted. You need to specify the .NET framework you are installing against in the command. This may need to be run as an administrator.

(i.e., C:\InnovatorService\InstallService)

4. INSTALLUTIL prompts you for a windows authentication username and password for the machine on which you are installing the service. Use a fully qualified username like domain_name\user_name. If the username and password are not valid, the installation fails.
5. Verify that the Windows Service named ‘Innovator Service’ was added to the management console (see previous screen shot). Specify whether the service should be started automatically or manually. You can edit the username and password for the service from the LogOn tab in the service Properties.
6. Edit the following configuration file and then start the service.
