Assumptions

  The person using this document has a working knowledge of using SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
  There is a functional IIS server running on the destination port.

1. Installation

  Run VisionReportsInstall.msi.
  Select the port on which you will run VisionApplication and enter it when prompted.
      (This installation file will create a virtual directory, set it up to run a web application, and make all necessary IIS configuration settings.)
  Accept all other default settings and complete the installation process.

2. Configuration

  Open the web.config file (typically c:\inetpub\wwwroot\VisionReports\web.config)
   Find the <appSettings> section and update settings according to your server settings (see example below)

<appSettings>
  <add key="SERVERNAMEHERE" value="ServerName"/>
  <add key="REPORTSERVERHERE" value="ServerName"/>
  <add key="USERNAMRHERE" value="username"/>
  <add key="PASSWORDHERE" value="password"/>
  <add key="DBNAMEHERE" value="VisionPro"/>
  <add key="REPORTSDIRECTORYHERE" value="Reports"/>
  <add key="userLoginFlag" value="true"/>
</appSettings>

<!-- The instance name of your MSSQL server goes here. -->
<!-- enter ODBC name here otherwise use SQL Server instance name-->
<!-- The userid you will use to connect to the MSSQL database. -->
<!-- The password for the userid to connect to your MSSQL database. -->
<!-- The database name you will connect to -->
<!-- The report directory. Can be relative or absolute path.
        (eg. "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\VisionReports\Reports") -->
<!-- Set this to true if you want the user to see a login screen. -->

  Using Enterprise Manager, create a new SQL login 'gpweb' and assign it to the VisionPro database with “db_datareader” user permissions.
      (This user may already exist.)

  VisionReports is now installed. Access VisionReports with your browser at http://<WebServerName>:<Port>/VisionReports
