Starfish Engine

The server where the Engine will be installed must have IIS and ASP.NET installed. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 is required. For the installation package to function properly on some later operating systems, "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" may also need to be installed. This may be a server on your network, it does not have to be a computer where the end users have physical access to it. The only other requirement is that this server will need direct access to the databases and files that the jobs will be operating on.

Installation Steps 1. Run StarfishEngineSetup.msi on the desired server.

2. Configure the IIS site where the Web Service where be hosted, assign the Virtual Directory name (“StarfishEngine” is the default), and change the Application Pool, if necessary. Under certain conditions where your job needs access to files on the server, it may be necessary to change the Application Pool, or change the Identity in which this process runs under.

3. Click Next and complete the installation. After the install, you can test to make sure it worked correctly by opening a browser to http://localhost/StarfishEngine, and you should get a window that looks like the one below. It may be necessary to specify the full path to the web service file, which would be http://localhost/StarfishEngine/StarfishService.asmx
