Deploying a [!INCLUDEprod_short] Demonstration Environment

This deployment scenario installs the major [!INCLUDEprod_short] components on a single computer, complete with a base application and database with demonstration data. After the installation, you will have an end-to-end environment, where you can access [!INCLUDEprod_short] data from the Web client. The installation requires minimal hardware resources, preparation, and configuration.

Installed Components and Configuration

Components

This scenario installs the following components:

Configuration

This scenario uses the default setting of [!INCLUDEprodsetup], which includes the following:

  • [!INCLUDEwebserver]

    • Port: 8080 (inbound rule automatically added to Windows Firewall)
    • Protocol: HTTP

  • Windows authentication for authenticating users.

  • [!INCLUDEserver] configuration:

    • Service instance name: BCNNN (like BC210, BC200, BC190, or BC140, depending on the version)
    • Client service port: 7085 (7046 in version 20 and earlier)
    • SOAP web services port: 7047
    • OData web services port: 7048

  • [!INCLUDEprod_short] database components configuration:

    • Service instance: BCDEMO

    • Database: Demo Database BC (NN-0)

      NN is the version number, like 21, 20, 19, or 14.

  • NETWORK SERVICE account is used as the service account for [!INCLUDEserver] and database.

Prepare for the [!INCLUDEnav_web] installation

  1. Get access to the [!INCLUDEprod_short] installation media. For example, this could be a DVD or network drive that contains the [!INCLUDEprod_short] installation files.
  2. Make sure that the computer meets the hardware and software requirements.

For more information, see System Requirements.

Run [!INCLUDEprodsetup]

  1. From the [!INCLUDEprod_short] installation media (DVD folder), run the setup.exe file to start the [!INCLUDEprodsetup].

  2. Follow the setup until you get to the Microsoft [!INCLUDEprod_long] page, then choose Advanced installation option > Install Demo.

    The installation starts. This can take several minutes.

Open the [!INCLUDEnav_web]

  • To open the [!INCLUDEnav_web] from the computer where you installed [!INCLUDEprod_short], on the Start menu, choose All Programs, and then choose [!INCLUDEprod_short] Web Client.

  • To open the [!INCLUDEnav_web] from other devices on the network, open an Internet browser, and type the following URL in the address box:

    http://ComputerName:8080/BCServerInstance

    Substitute ComputerName with the name of the computer where you installed [!INCLUDEprod_short]. If you are working on the computer where you installed [!INCLUDEprod_short], then you can use localhost.

    Substitute BCServerInstance with the name of the [!INCLUDEserver], like BC210, BC200, BC190, or BC140 (depending on your version).

    For example:

    http://localhost:8080/BC210
