2.3.1 WIZARD INSTALLATION (PC-BASED) OVERVIEW
The Wizard builds all of the NonStop configuration files on the PC, optionally allowing you to import a single
existing Web ViewPoint configuration, then automatically FTPs or SFTP the files to the NonStop and initiates WVP.
Normally this should take less than 15 minutes, provided you have a few items of configuration data at your
fingertips. The Wizard has defaults for nearly all required parameters; therefore if you are a new user your data
input requirements are minimal. Once you get the software installed and operational you can easily adjust your
configuration to fit your specific needs.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
 Using different subvols, process naming conventions and port numbers allow you to run more than 1 instance
of WVP on a single node.
 A Super Group Logon is best for the install because some files require privileged code licensing (i.e. FINFLIB
and FINFO).
 On a single install you can install WVP on more than 1 node using the Wizard, just use the Multi-Node option.
Be sure you have all the configuration details for each node before starting (see preparation requirements
below). All nodes during a multi-node installation must be of the same type, e.g. two G-series nodes or three
H-series nodes. Post-install, nodes of different types can be added to the neighborhood using the SYNC
program.
 The install uses FTP/Telnet or SFTP/SSH session between the PC and the NonStop. Make sure the PC you use
for the install has connectivity to your NonStop.
 For the EMS Event Notifications feature to provide Email/SMS notifications, Web ViewPoint needs to be
configured as defined in one of the following Sections; In ‘Direct from NonStop’ mode( Section 3.2.4.1 ) or the
optional ‘Message Center PC Component’ ( Section 5.7.1 ) and its associated plug-in components need to be
installed and configured.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPORTING AN EXISTING CONFIGURATION:
 Importing a single existing configuration is optional and must be a version of Web ViewPoint AAH or later.
 Importing an existing configuration requires that instance of WVP be stopped during the install (the stopping
of that instance is done by with Wizard if the Wizard has the necessary security permissions).
 The Import Function only uses the configuration data from 1 node and then propagates that configuration to
the various nodes when performing a multi-node install. The install provides options for the $Vol.Subvol
location of the product files for each node.
 Importing to the same or existing subvolume overwrites the older version with the new version of Web
ViewPoint.

2.3.1.1 FIRST TIME INSTALL
For first time installation, start the installation Wizard. It will ask whether you have successfully installed Web
ViewPoint before. There are two buttons, ‘Yes’ and ‘No’, at the bottom-right of the Wizard window. Click ‘No’. It
gives you two options ‘Default configuration’ or ‘Import configuration’. Sincefirst time installation, choose the
‘Default configuration’ radio button & click ‘Next’. The rest of the installation steps depend on whether you want
to have a single-resident installation or multi-resident installation. For single-resident installation, please follow
Section 2.3.1.2, or for multi-resident follow Section 2.3.1.3 .
2.3.1.2 SINGLE NODE
The second window of the installation Wizard gives you a choice of single-resident or multi-resident installation.
Select ‘Single-node’ radio button and click ‘Next. The next window is designed to gather information for one
resident. It has four input text fields.
Resident name: Name of the NonStop server. The name must begin with '\' and must be a valid node name (per
the SysGen). The maximum length is 8 ASCII characters, including '\'. Examples: \SIERRA, \DRP17, etc.
