4 ServiceWise Installation Understanding ServiceWise Architecture Understanding the installation process Downloading ServiceWise Software and Documentation Installing the Database Server Installing the ServiceWise Application Server Installing the ServiceWise Document Server Installing the ServiceWise Web Service Installing the ServiceWise Web Server Installing the ServiceWise Windows Clients Understanding ServiceWise Architecture Every ServiceWise site consists of six core components: the ServiceWise Database Server, the ServiceWise Application Server, the ServiceWise Document Server, the ServiceWise Web Service, the ServiceWise Administration Console and one or more ServiceWise Windows clients. Figure 1-1: ServiceWise Architecture Core Components ServiceWise Database Server The ServiceWise Database Server accepts connections and stores data. TechExcel solutions run on any ODBC-compliant database.

5 ServiceWise Application Server The ServiceWise Application Server acts as a gatekeeper between the data stored in the ServiceWise Database Server and the clients and services that access that data. ServiceWise Document Server The ServiceWise Document Server enables organizations to attach files to support tickets and to upload and download files from the knowledge base. Both the ServiceWise client and ServiceWise Web Server use the ServiceWise Document Server to access files including file attachments, attachments, and knowledge items. ServiceWise Web Service The ServiceWise Web Service connects to the ServiceWise Application Server and the database server directly, and manages requests from the ServiceWise Administration Console and Windows Clients. ServiceWise Administration Console The ServiceWise Administration Console connects to the ServiceWise Application Server and database server through the ServiceWise Web Service. Using the ServiceWise Administration Console, system and project administrators may configure, customize, and manage multiple ServiceWise projects. ServiceWise Windows Client for Team The ServiceWise Windows Client for team connects to the ServiceWise Application Server and data store through the ServiceWise Web Service. ServiceWise Web Server for Team The ServiceWise Web Server enables project members to access and manage project data over the Internet. The ServiceWise Web Server accepts Internet sessions from any standard web browser and ServiceWise Wireless. The ServiceWise Web Server filters requests through the ServiceWise Application Server and then connects to the ServiceWise Database Server. ServiceWise Employee Web Portal As part of the installation process of the ServiceWise Web Server, the ServiceWise Employee Web Portal is a secure, interactive web site that provides employees with controlled access to a centralized communication hub. The Employee Web Portal enables employees to track their tickets, communicate with support engineers, and view or update their personal data. Optional Components and Modules In addition to the six core ServiceWise components, TechExcel offers many optional components, modules, and application integrations that enhance the power of a ServiceWise site. All optional ServiceWise components and modules are installed after the installation and configuration of the ServiceWise Application Server.

6 Optional ServiceWise components and modules include: ServiceWise Notification Service System administrators may install the ServiceWise Services on any Windows server machine. Once installed, the ServiceWise Mail services are shown running as the Windows services. The ServiceWise Notification Service is implemented using SMTP or IMAP protocol. It communicates with the ServiceWise Database Server and sends messages through an SMTP or IMAP mail server. The ServiceWise notification engine sends notification and escalation messages to project members and employees. ServiceWise Retrieval Service The retrieval engine retrieves supporting s and creates tickets and events in the ServiceWise tracking system. TechExcel AssetWise AssetWise aids enterprises in the process of monitoring, controlling and accounting for assets throughout their lifecycle. A single and centralized location enables businesses to monitor all assets important to their mission including company IT assets, managing asset inventories, and tracking customer-owned assets. All asset changes, including maintenance information, trouble ticket data, status inventory, utilization metrics and usage, are recorded in the central repository and linked to other Service and Support tasks. As part of the TechExcel Service Suite, AssetWise can be accessed by members of the ServiceWise service team and provides a single version of asset truth for sales, service, help desk, IT, and other teams. The integrated asset management capabilities of AssetWise helps optimize all assetrelated processes during an assets lifetime, from purchasing through implementation to service upgrades and returns. And since AssetWise uses the same central database as TechExcel Service Suite (considered a CMDB), all asset activities can be related to sales opportunities, service incidents, problems, and change records providing a complete view of all company assets. TechExcel ProjectPlan TechExcel ProjectPlan provides businesses with collaborative environment that facilitates strategic IT planning and project management throughout the IT project life cycle. ProjectPlan enables IT decision makers to effectively communicate project strategy, define business requirements, and manage the implementation of that strategy in long term IT initiatives and projects, large and small.
