Planning and Preparation

The planning, preparation, installation and implementation of the ixi-UMS MDS in many respects depends on whether a new ixi-UMS structure is established or an available ixi-UMS environment is enhanced.

 

·In either case, a share has to be set up at the ixi-UMS Kernel Server. The access is possible by UNC or by WebDav (recommended).

 

·It has to be determined at any rate, where the rendering shall be made. See "Planning the Rendering".

 

·If the ixi-UMS Kernel Render Connector at the locations is not required, it has to be disabled. For more informationen please refer the How To.

 

·If the ixi-UMS MDS is installed on a server on that there is already an ixi-UMS Kernel and/or a ixi-UMS Render Connector, the available ixi-UMS Render Connector must be used. In this case the transfer directories have to be configured.

 

·If the ixi-UMS connectors are already installed on the server, the new transfer directories configured.

 

·If the WebDav access shall be realized by HTTPS, the Apache servers must be prepared accordingly.

 

·If the WebDav accesses shall be via the FQDN, these have to be entered in the Apache server.

 

·Monitoring of the single components must be planned (e.g. by deploying the IXI-Inspector).

 

·Availability and performance of additonal features like remote inquiry, sender identification, print incoming, user look-up must be taken into account and checked.

 

·In many cases, a "number conversion" is necessary. This feature is with costs and must be considered with the planning.
