Installing Aegis

Before installing a new version of Aegis, ensure that the required databases are backed up. Aegis makes use of the following databases:

EgClient
EgListBox
support
Sys

Uninstall any previous versions of the Aegis client and server. Unzip the setup files into a temporary directory. The setup files are:

 Aegis.zip
 Mdac.zip
 SupFiles1.zip
 SupFiles2.zip

The setup files can be found at /u/apps/aegis7.12_setup/zips/.

Install mdac_typ.exe if the current machine does not have Microsoft Data Access Components 2.7 or later installed.

Run Setup.exe and install the server component. Ensure that the server component is installed under a shared directory, so that any machines that need the client installed have access to this directory. Do this only if you are setting up a new Aegis server.

Run Setup.exe again on each machine where you want the Aegis client installed. Select client installation, and when prompted, point it to the server installation directory specified in the previous step. For the current setup on maximizer, type in "\\maximizer\aegisserver" when it asks for the server installation directory

Unzip the license file, Aegissn, which can be found in /u/apps/aegis7.12_setup/zips/AegisLic.zip, into each client directory. Copy the following Aegis.ini file into each installation directory as well.

The Aegis.ini file should look like this:

[Database]
Provider=MSSQL
Server=maximizer
Authentication=SQL
User Id=aegisuser
Password=support
[MSSQL:support]
ClientDb=EgClient
ListBoxDb=EgListBox

Ensure that the databases are backed up, and then run the dbu.exe utility to update the above mentioned databases.

When logging in as a new user for the first time, opening the database may cause the error ActiveX component can't create object. This can be worked around by:

Ensure no Aegis client is logged in as the new user
Logging in as the new user on the Maximizer server and select the database connection settings.
Log out.
Log in as the new user on a client machine to test.

If email not sending from a particular user:

SMTP server is set on a per-user basis. If a particular user assigns/reassigns jobs to another user and none of their emails get sent out, log in as admin, go to system->users, click on the user it is not sending from, and click "edit" (on left side). Go to the email tab and check the smtp server. It is "animal.crecom.com.au" as of this writing.
