 Installation Cookbook

Installation Cookbook
The Installation Cookbook summarizes the steps required to install applications
for Business FLEX® 240 (BF240) release.
This document is a high-level document and does not apply to all environments,
does not cover all possibilities, and is not a replacement for the installation or
upgrade guides.
This cookbook applies to sites that are installing Business FLEX 240, and using
one or more of the following applications: Blend Management, KPI Manager,
LIMS, Operating Instructions, Operations Logbook, Operations Monitoring, and
Production Balance.
Please send any comments or questions to the Honeywell Help Desk at
support@honeywell.com. Ensure that you type Business FLEX in the subject
line of your e-mail.

General Notes
The applications covered in this cookbook require Microsoft’s IIS Web Server,
Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Crystal Reports, and various service programs.
Most applications also require a historian, which is assumed to be PHD in this
document. You must upgrade the historian to a release that is supported by
Business FLEX 240 before installing BF240.
The server components – IIS, Oracle, SQL Server, services and historian may run
on one or several computers. This cookbook does not address how the server
components are distributed. If you have more than one server, plan for what
software need to be installed on each server. All the server components must be
upgraded together.
The applications mentioned in this cookbook have some client components that
are installed on end user computers. Only some users require client components,
but all users who have the client components must be upgraded. With minor
exceptions, Business FLEX does not support having clients from one release
connect to servers from a different release.
Experion Application Framework (EAF) software is shared by Honeywell’s
Experion PKS systems and applications. EAF includes Experion Desktop Server
(EDS), Experion Application Server (EAS), and other components. This
cookbook covers applications that use EDS only.
This cookbook assumes that you have installed PHD215 or PHD300, Oracle
10g/11g, and SQL Server 2008.

What You Need

All server components require Windows Server 2008. If you are currently using
Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server, note that Microsoft advises
doing a fresh installation of Windows Server 2008, instead of upgrading from
Windows 2000 or 2003.
Business FLEX 240 supports Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1.
Many Business FLEX applications support internationalization. If you create the
Oracle database in Unicode, it will handle all languages, including English, other
Western languages, and Chinese. If you choose to create a non-Unicode database,
it will support only Western European languages such as English, Spanish, and
German.
