Server Installation

To install the Lockout PRO - Enterprise server on your web server, follow these steps:

Note: Before you install the server on your system, you must first have Internet Information Services installed and configured with

FrontPage extensions, ASP.NET support through the .NET Framework 1.1 enabled, and the server online and configured for Intranet,

Extranet, or secured Internet access by those whom you wish to provide access to. Please see your system documentation for the

proper steps toprepare your server to this state. (For your convenience, the .NET Framework 1.1 and MDAC 2.7 installations are

provided in the \Server\System Requirements folder on the installation CD.

1. Copy the “Lockout PRO” folder from the \Server\Application directory on the installation CD and all of its contents to the desired

location on your server.

3. Set the \LockoutPRO and \LockoutPRO\FileService folders as applications in IIS. In the properties page for each folder click the

create button iunder the application settings section.

4. Configure the \LockoutPRO\Repository directory to have write permissions for everyone who may be using the desktop client or

Click the Activate License button. The license(s) will be activated.

If you have purchased any additional user licenses, repeat this procedure with each CD provided to you.

7. Confirm operation of the web service:

In a browser, preferably on a machine other than the server itself, browse to the file in the location of /LockoutPRO/

FileService/FileService.asmx. Be sure that you are browsing to it (using an address similar to http://yourserver/

LockoutPRO/FileService/FileService.asmx) rather than opening it directly (using an address similar to

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LockoutPRO\FileService\FileService.asmx).

You should be presented with an interface into the web service listing each of the public functions of the service.

If you are not, or receive any error, this indicates that the server is not properly configured. Please see your

system documentation and properly configure it to serve ASP.NET applications.

Click on the Ping function. In the page that is opened, click on the Invoke button to test the operation of the service.

A new browser window should open and contain an xml response message with the value of true. If it does not,

confirm that there is no pop-up blocking stopping the new windo from opening, and then check the configuration

of your server.

Return to the main page of the file service. Click on the GetProcedureData function. In the page that is opened, click the

Invoke button.

A new browser window should open and contain an xml response message with a list of the folders and any .lop

files in the \LockoutPRO\Repository directory. If it does not, confirm that there is no pop-up blocking stopping the

new window from opening, and then check the configuration of your server. This function uses the write

permissions of the \LockoutPRO\Repository directory, so if the error message indicates this confirm that the

\LockoutPRO\Repository directory has full write permissions for the user account from which you are accessing

the service.

Return to the main page of the file service. Click on the DBWriteTest function. In the page that is opened, click the Invoke

button.

A new browser window should open and contain an xml response message with a value of true. If it does not,

confirm that there is no pop-up blocking stopping the new window from opening, and then check the

configuration of your server. This function uses the write permissions of the \LockoutPRO\Repository\data.mdb

file, so if the error message indicates this confirm that the \LockoutPRO\Repository\data.mdb file has full write

permissions for the user account from which you are accessing the service.

Return to the main page of the file service. Click on the AddFolder function. In the page that is opened, enter a name in

the Name: textbox, leaving the Path: textbox blank, then click the Invoke button.

A new browser window should open and contain an xml response message with a value of true. If it does not,

confirm that there is no pop-up blocking stopping the new window from opening, and then check the

configuration of your server. This function uses the write permissions of the \LockoutPRO\Repository\ folder, so if

the error message indicates this confirm that the \LockoutPRO\Repository\ folder has full write permissions for

the user account from which you are accessing the service.

8. Confirm operation of the web viewer application: In a browser, preferably on a machine other than the server itself, browse to the

file in the location of /LockoutPRO/index.htm. Be sure that you are browsing to it (using an address similar to http://yourserver/

LockoutPRO/index.htm) rather than opening it directly (using an address similar to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LockoutPRO\index.htm).

You should be presented with the Lockout PRO – Enterprise Web Viewer. If you are not, or receive any error,

this indicates that the server is not properly configured. Please see your system documentation and properly

configure it to serve ASP.NET applications.

Click on the nodes of the treeview until you select a folder with files shown, then click on the link for one of the files.

Acrobat reader should launch and the procedure file should be opened to the right of the treeview. If it does not,

ensure that the system you are working from meets the minimum system requirements for the web viewer.

Click on the link to one or more of the content sections in the Sections navigation bar on the left of the screen to confirm

that each section openes as expected.

9. Confirm connectivity with desktop clients:

From a computer with the desktop client installed and access and permissions on the web server, open the Lockout PRO

– Enterprise desktop client.

Select the Admin > Connection settings command from the main menu.

In the address box, enter the address to the /LockoutPRO folder on the web server. This should be similar to http://

yourserver/LockoutPRO.

Click the Test button to test the connectivity.

If any test fails, ensure that the user has access to the Lockout PRO – Enterprise server on the webs erver, and

that the user account from which you are accessing it has proper access permissions for the /LockoutPRO a

and /LockoutPRO/Repository folder and it’s contents.

Click the OK button. A message should be show indicating that a connection to the server has been found and asking if

you wish to go online. Select yes to begin working online. If there are any files in the offline repository of that machine they

will be uploaded to the server before you can continue.

If you are not prompted to go online, or if the program cannot connect to the server when selecting the Admin >

Work Online command from the main menu, this indicates a connectivity problem between the user’s computer

and the web service.

Confirm basic operation of the program, including that you can open procedures and save changes. Select the Admin >

Server explorer command from the main menu and confirm the ability to manipulate the folders and files on the server.

Any problems encountered when testing these functions likely indicate incorrect user permission on the web

server.

Machine-specific procedures can be created using either of two user-friendly graphical formats, the Short Form and the Long Form.

Short Form Procedure Format

The Short Form layout provides a page-based organization of the lockout process. By organizing the information within the context of

the available space on each page, the resulting procedure is concise and efficient, but the space constraints may limit the amount of

information that can be entered for each energy source. If you do not need to provide extensively detailed information or use more than

two images for one or more of the lockout steps, the Short Form is a good choice.

Layout

The Short Form is comprised of the Header, Images, Energy Source Table, and Footer.

Header – This section contains information identifying the machine that the procedure applies to, the number of lockout points on the

machine, any special notes, and the Lockout Application Process.

Images – This section contains one or two images of the machine and the energy source labels identifying the correct lockout points.

Energy Source Table – This section contains the steps necessary to lockout each individual energy source.

Footer – This section contains the Lockout Removal Process, the energy source color and abbreviation legend, and the current and

total page numbers.
