3.2.4 Optional: Install the Logging Server
The PRAESENSA Logging server application software is part of the PRAESENSA (mandatory)
software package (*.zip). If you want to view the events logged, it needs to be installed on
your computer. It is not required to install the Logging server on the same computer which
will be used for configuration of PRAESENSA. See also
PC requirements, page 15, if required.
With the PRAESENSA Logging server, the events generated by a system can be logged.
Typically, the Logging server runs on a computer that is connected to all systems of which the
events are logged. The Logging server stores the events in a database.
To install, proceed as follows:
1. Browse to, and click , the file named Bosch PRAESENSA Logging Server.exe to start the
setup program of the Logging server:
–
IMPORTANT : Only install and use the PRAESENSA Logging server when connected
to PRAESENSA systems. E.g. the PRAESIDEO Logging server does not work with
PRAESENSA.
– Follow the on screen instructions.
2. The interface for the Logging server is available in different languages. During installation
a number of language file folders have been installed in:
–
\Program Files (x86)\Bosch\PRAESENSA Logging Server. Check this folder to see if
your language is available:
– The language file folders have names according to the international 2‑letter language
code (ISO 639), for example; 'en' for English, 'ru' for Russian.
– If a language folder exists for the language of the installed Windows operating
system, then that is the language of the Logging server. If a different language is
needed and a language folder exists for that language, proceed as follows:
3. Add a language parameter to the logging server program. The parameter is the 2‑letter
language abbreviation, e.g. " fi", i.e. a space followed by the language code.
–
For the Logging server, go to the startup folder to add the parameter: ProgramData >
Microsoft > Windows> Start Menu > Programs > Startup > PRAESENSA Logging
Server.
4. Right click on the Logging server, select properties and select the tab shortcut.
5. Add the " fi" parameter to the target description that ends with .exe", so after the double
quote.
6. If the Logging server has not been installed for automatic startup and is not in the startup
folder, then
create a shortcut for the program file, right click on the shortcut (can be on
the desktop too), click properties and select the tab shortcut.
7. Add the " fi" parameter to the target description that ends with .exe", so after the double
quote. Use the shortcut to start up the program. Of course, replace " fi" with the language
abbreviation of your choice.
8. A notification is displayed when the installation is finished.
