4 Installing the DevSuite Database Server The first step towards deploying a DevSuite site is to install the DevSuite Database Server and to configure the database settings. The DevSuite Database Server installation program must be installed before you can install the DevSuite Application Server, DevSuite Windows clients, and DevSuite Web Services, and all other DevSuite modules. The DevSuite Database Server accepts connections and stores data. solutions run on the Microsoft Windows server platform, but the DevSuite database can run on SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL. The DevSuite Database Server Setup installation wizard appears. Click the Next button.

These subdirectories contain the documents and scripts needed to step up the database manually if using MySQL or Oracle. To accept the default destination directory, click the Next button. To change the destination directory, click the Change button and navigate to a directory. Click the Next button.

Define the configuration parameters for your SQL Server system. Click the OK button.
The DevSuite Database Server Installation dialog box appears. The wizard may take several minutes to install the DevSuite Database Server.
When the operation is complete, a DevSuite Database Installation dialog box appears. Click the Finish button.
The DevSuite Database Server has been installed, and the DevSuite Application Server installation will begin automatically.
5 Installing the DevSuite Application Server The DevSuite Application Server wizard starts. Click the Next button.

The Application Server installation will soon be completed. Click the Finish button.
The DevSuite Application Server has been installed, and the DevSuite Document Server installation will begin automatically.
6 Installing the DevSuite Document Server The DevSuite Document Server enables development teams to attach files to DevSuite issues and to upload and download files in DevSuite Web. Both the DevSuite client and DevSuite Web Server use the DevSuite Document Server to access the related files including file attachments, e-mail attachments, and knowledge items. DevSuite Database Server and Application Server must be installed before the DevSuite Document Server service can execute properly. The DevSuite Document Server talks to the Application Server and Web Server through a TCP/IP connection. The DevSuite Document Server can be installed on the database server machine or on a separate computer. If your issue tracking involves a large number of attachment files, recommends that you use a separate machine to host the DevSuite Document Server. The DevSuite Document Server installation program installs a new DevSuite Document Server service. Ensure that is running by checking the system Service Manager after the installation. To use the DevSuite Document Server, the system administrator must define the document server name and port number in DevSuite Admin. The DevSuite Document Server installation wizard starts. Click the Next button.
Select a destination directory. The Document Server installation program creates a TechExcel\DTServer\DocServer\ subdirectory in the Program Files directory. To accept the default destination directory click the Next button. To change the destination directory, click the Change button and navigate to a directory. Click the Next button.
Inspect and update the DevSuite Document Server configuration settings. To check the connection to the DevSuite Application Server, click the Connect button. To change the document root directory, click the Browse button and locate an appropriate directory for managing documents.

The Document Server installation will soon be completed. Click the Finish button.
The DevSuite Document Server has been installed, and the DevSuite Web Service installation will begin automatically.
7 Installing the DevSuite Web Service The DevSuite Admin client requires that the DevSuite Web Service is installed, and that IIS web service runs the .NET Framework 2.0. Prerequisites for installing the DevSuite Web Service:
The DevSuite Web Service installation wizard starts. Click the Next button.
Review the installation checklist, and click the OK button.
The Destination Folder dialog box appears. By default, the DevSuite Web Service is installed to C:\Inetpub\. Click the Next button.
Define the application server name and port, and the server name, on which the web service is being installed.
Test the connection of the Web Services, and click the OK button to continue.
The Web Service installation will soon be completed. Click the Finish button.
The DevSuite Web Service has been installed, and the DevSuite Web Server installation will begin automatically.
8 Installing the DevSuite Web Server The DevSuite Web Server is an optional application. The DevSuite Web Server needs to be installed, however, if users must access DevSuite through the Web. Installation of the DevSuite Web Server requires the DevSuite Application Server name (or IP) and its port number (the default is 8228). The DevSuite Web Server installation program distributes the DevSuite Web Server (in ISAPI DLLs) to your IIS scripts directory. The DevSuite Web Server installation program creates a directory PTWeb (which contains some web pages and images) under your web root directory (by default, it is under your wwwroot directory. If your web root is not default to wwwroot, you will need to move it to your web home directory manually after installing the DevSuite Web Server.) While you are installing the DevSuite Web Server, the installation connects to the DevSuite Application Server and retrieves your database type, database server, and database name automatically. You can also manually specify the database information as needed. The installation program creates a system DSN for DevWeb for the DevSuite Web Server to connect to your database. A system administrator can create a virtual directory, providing easy access to the DevSuite Web Server. Once installed and finalized, the DevSuite login URL may be sent to all DevSuite users. The DevSuite Web Server installation wizard starts. Click the Next button.
The Destination Folder window appears. By default, the DevSuite Web Server is installed to C:\Inetpub\. Click the Next button.
In order to install the Web Server on your machine, the installation wizard must stop your IIS web server. Click the OK button to continue, or Cancel to abort.
Define your application server settings and test the connection. Server name: (ex: localhost) Port number: (ex: 8338) Define your database connection and test the connection. Database type: Microsoft SQL Server Database server: (ex: localhost) Database name: (ex: PTrackDB) Database authentication: SQL authentication or Window NT authentication
The Web Server installation will soon be completed. Click the Finish button.
The DevSuite Web Server has been installed, and the DevSuite Clients installation will begin automatically.
9 Installing the DevSuite Clients Installation of the DevSuite Windows clients can be done on any computer that has the DevSuite Web Service information. The Web Service name is the URL of the computer on which the web services are installed. For DevPlan, the default web service path is: http://servername/DevPlanService/DevPlan.asmx For DevSpec, the default web service path is: http://servername/DevSpecService/ClientService.asmx The DevSuite Clients installation wizard starts. Click the Next button.
Select a destination directory. By default, the clients are installed to C:\Program Files\TechExcel\DTClient\ To accept the default destination directory click the Next button. To change the destination directory, click the Change button and navigate to a directory. Click the Next button.
Select an installation type: To install both the DevSuite Clients and the DevSuite Admin applications, select the DevSuite Admin and Client option.
