Symantec Altiris Workflow 7.0, Configuration Manual

Page: 28 / 42

To install Workflow Server
1 Run the Workflow installer.
The installer is located in the directory to which you downloaded it. By default
the Workflow installer is downloaded to the desktop. If you have not yet
downloaded the installer, you can download it through the Symantec
Management Console.
See “Downloading the Workflow installer through the Symantec Management
Console ” on page 22.

In the Server Roles step, click the pieces of Workflow 7.0 that you want to
install on the local computer, and then click Next.
If you want to install only Workflow Server, select only that piece. The
installation steps on the left are affected by the options that you choose. The
more options you select on the right, the more steps you will have on the left.
See “About Workflow 7.0” on page 9.
Background processing refers to non-human process actions, such as timeouts
and escalations. If you check the check box to enable background processing,
background processing will run on the local computer. If you uncheck the
check box to enable background processing, that processing will not run at
all. You can install background processing on a different computer. Installing
background processing on a different computer may enhance the performance
of Workflow 7.0. To install background processing on a different computer,
run the Workflow 7.0 installer on that computer and enable background
processing.
Clicking Show Advanced Settings During Installation lets you edit the default
installation location and ORM settings.
3 On the Server Configuration step, select which Web site and base URL you
want to use.
The Web site mentioned here is the IIS Web site to which your projects will
be published by default.
Base URL refers to a resolvable URL to access the Workflow Server. If you
are installing on a design-only computer (not a publishing server), the base
URL can be the local computer name or IP address. If you are installing on a
publishing server with an externally accessible URL, use that URL.
The Task Tray is one of the client tools of Workflow 7.0. Leave the check box
marked to run it after installation.
4 On the Notification Server Credentials step, configure the NS options.
Contact your network administrator if you need help.
