Install the Demo (Basic Configuration)

This section explains how to install the Basic Configuration of AIM Workhub and Dashboard using Deployment Manager.

When you have completed this section, you will be able to:

• See the out-of-the-box product, complete with sample data.

• Use AIM Dashboard and familiarize yourself with its functionality.

• Use the Admin Tool to change some of the default settings and observe the outcomes.

• Examine the sample Class Library.

  Notes:

• Using an account that has administrative privileges, log on to a computer that can act as a web server. This configuration installs and runs the AIM Workhub and Dashboard components and tools on the same computer.

• Before running Deployment Manager, ensure that all the required software have been installed. These WILL NOT be installed by this tool. For details, see System Requirements.

Unblocking the Executables

When the installer is downloaded from the internet, the Deployment Manager may have some of the application-related executables blocked by Windows. To allow smooth execution of the Deployment Manager, follow the steps below to check and unblock all executables for AIM:

1. Open the DeploymentManager folder from the installation package.

2. Right-click the AVEVA.AIM.Deployment.Console.exe file and select Properties.

3. Under General, verify if the Security section is displayed.

   Note: You will not see the Security section if nothing is blocked.

4. If displayed, select Unblock.

   

5. Select Apply and then select OK.
