Purpose Introduction This document is intended to facilitate the deployment of ARGUS Enterprise by providing the following: An overview of the Windows component service and other components used by ARGUS Enterprise Application Server Step-by-step instructions for installing each of these components, regardless of deployment scale Directions for configuring each of the Windows services Before You Begin Before starting to install ARGUS Enterprise, please take a moment to make sure that you have fulfilled the following prerequisites. Desktop Requirements Note: Pay particular attention to the SQL server requirements if you are performing an upgrade to an existing database. Modifications to the database structure will cause the upgrade process to take much longer than normal, especially on large databases. 1. Confirm that your system meets the requirements outlined in the appropriate Small, Medium, or Large Enterprise Planning guide. 2. You need to have administrator rights to proceed with the installation. Application Server Requirements 1. Confirm that your server meets the requirements outlined in the appropriate Small, Medium, or Large Enterprise Planning guide. 2. Make sure you have fully downloaded the ARGUS Enterprise installation program. 1 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.

Services Account Setup for Application and Processing Servers. The configuration will default to NT Authority\Local Service account on install. This will only work for AE services installed on the same machine as the SQL Server database. For most scenarios other than trial systems, this is not the recommended server setup. See Planning guides for more information. For most server deployment scenarios the following is recommended. 1. Create a Domain Service Account to run the core ARGUS Enterprise services (Application and Processing Services). It is good practice to set the following: Password never expires User cannot change password 2. For added security, optionally remove the service account from the domain users group by performing the following steps: Create a domain group (e.g., AE Service Accounts). Assign this group to the primary group of the service account. Change the service accounts primary group to the new domain group that you created. Remove the service account from domain users. This limits the security footprint of the account by limiting access to other machines in the domain. Thus, if this account becomes compromised, the exposure is limited. Add this new group to the users local group of the service machines. Note: This account will also be used to run the ARGUS Enterprise SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) component and additional permissions may need to be applied. (See the Reporting section.) In all cases, the selected service account or service accounts group will need to be added to the AE Users role in the ARGUS Enterprise database order to limit access rights to just those needed by the service. Service Account Special Considerations Set up your service account according to the following recommendations: 1. TCP/IP protocol only: Note: If you are running windows firewall, ensure that the TCP/IP service ports are opened on the firewall. You may also need to check any virus scanning software you have installed as some of them have firewalls as well. Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of ARGUS Enterprise, it should be noted that the Service Account is no longer required to be part of the Local Admin Group. 2 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.

2. HTTP/HTTPS protocol: Either: For http run netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8103/ user="domain\username", or for https run netsh http add urlacl url=https://+:8103/ user="domain\username" from an administrator command line. Change the parts in red to match your installation port and service account username minus the outside quotes. Or: Add the service account to the local administrators. Although this is a simpler solution, consult your security guidelines before implementing this as this increases the security footprint. 3. If the system is required to Import/Export DCF files: Either: Add the argus.exe and reaplengine32.exe files in the Shared Components folder of the installation path into DEP if they are not there already. Grant the service account launch for the following two components in Component Services : APLW, and 56388E5E-9217-4EB6-808C-6E27579862C6. Contact support for help configuring if errors occur. Or: Add the service account to the local administrators. Although this is a simpler solution, consult your security guidelines before implementing this as this increases the security footprint SQL Server Database Upgrade Requirements Note: The upgrade of a database to ARGUS Enterprise version 10.5 and subsequent versions from a pre-10.5 database will require a significantly longer time to accomplish than previous versions due to some underlying technical changes. Please expect upgrade times that may last up to several hours for very large databases. Ensure that you have a current backup before proceeding with an upgrade. Before executing the database upgrade through the configuration utility or by manually running the upgrade scripts (See Appendix), ensure that the following steps are taken to prepare and secure the database from unintended access during the upgrade process. Ensure that a database backup has been taken so that the log file is truncated as the log file can grow very large during the database upgrade. Also, in the unlikely event that a problem is encountered with the upgrade that cannot be rectified without starting over, the original database can be restored and the process repeated. In order to reduce the size the log file can grow to and potentially fail the upgrade due to disk space issues, it is recommended you switch the database recovery model from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged as per the advice in the Configuration Utility Database Upgrade Wizard. For an upgrade of a pre-10.5 database, it is recommended you pre-grow the database and log files prior to the upgrade as the database can grow by as much as 60% due to the need to move data when making structural changes to the Results Tables necessary in order to enhance performance. Pre-sizing the files will ensure that there is sufficient disk space and also will be less time consuming 3 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.

than repeated auto grow extensions of the database. Leave Auto Grow enabled in case the estimated growth is insufficient. Pre-10.5 Database SQL Server Database Interface/Report Customization Requirements By far the biggest change a to pre-10.5 database was the addition of the ScenarioId column as part of the primary key for all results tables. This change was carried out to improve the performance of scenario/portfolio level reporting within ARGUS Enterprise.

Those queries are now liable to cause table scans which will perform poorly on large databases where results records can run into the tens of millions. It is recommended that custom reports and data extracts be modified to include the Scenario Id as part of the filter criteria of queries to these tables. If this is not immediately possible, ARGUS Support can provide an optional script that will create indexes to replicate the old indexes and give similar read performance to that prior to 10.5, with two significant warnings: This may degrade write performance and will have a big impact on the space taken up by the database, increasing the size of the data files by as much as 20%. For these reasons, it is recommended that queries be modified to include ScenarioId rather than apply this script. If it proves necessary to apply the indexes as an interim fix to the system, ARGUS Support can also provide a script to remove the indexes once all custom modifications have been made. 4 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.

SQL Server Requirements 1. Confirm that your server meets the requirements in the Small, Medium, or Large Enterprise Planning guides. 2. Confirm that SQL Server is installed and functional. 3. Associate the service account created for the application service with the AE User role in order to limit access rights to just those needed by the service. This can be done after the ARGUS Enterprise database has been created. SQL Server Reporting Services configuration 1. Utilize the AE Service Account for accessing SSRS Report content via the Connection String. 2. Define an AD group containing each user, who will be accessing the content defined in SSRS, as a BROWSER role. Network Connectivity Requirements 1. Note that the Application Server Endpoint makes use of the Net TCP, or HTTP protocols. By default, our application uses the Net TCP port number 8102. 2. Add port number 8102 to any firewall exceptions. 3. Add default SQL Server port to any firewall exceptions. 4. Make sure that SQL Server services are running. 5. Enable TCP/IP connection. Note: If your enterprise will be exporting and importing models to and from ARGUS Valuation DCF, additional security might need to be granted to the APLW com object in the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) Config section of Component Services. If the service account used as the login for the Application and Process services is not a local administrator on the server, then that account needs to be granted Launch and Activation permissions and Access permissions. Note: When importing a.sf file on a machine that contains the Application Service and/or the Process Service and the database, the service(s) will need to logon using a local machine account or a domain account (recommended.) Be aware that the use of NT Authority\Local Service will not work in this scenario. 5 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.

Enterprise Services Overview of ARGUS Application Server The ARGUS Server component consists principally of the three Windows services described below. A Windows service is a long-running executable that performs specific functions and does not require user intervention. Windows services can be configured to start when the operating system is booted and to run in the background as long as Windows is running. Application Services Application services represent the principal business logic layer for the ARGUS Enterprise Solution. Requests from the ARGUS Enterprise client application and Excel Add-in component are handled by the application service. Typically, a single application service is deployed, but the solution can be scaled by deploying multiple application services behind a load balancer. The subject of load balancing is outside the scope of this document. Process Service The ARGUS Enterprise Process Service operates as the bulk data management and manipulation component of the application. The process service manages communication between the business logic layer and the database. The solution can be scaled by deploying multiple process services, each requiring its own server. Data Service (Optional) The Data Service provides specialized data integration facilities. It is an optional part of ARGUS Enterprise 11.0 and should only be installed and configured if data integration is required. Database Server Components The ARGUS Database Server comprises two components: the ARGUS Data Warehouse (ADW) and the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) for Repertoire Reporting. These components store all data for the entire ARGUS Enterprise Application Suite and provide report generation services via a separate, secure server. The ARGUS Database Server may follow two paths for installation: Standalone or Cluster. The appropriate path for your installation varies based on your organization s needs and the scale of your deployment. See the three documents for Large, Medium, and Small Enterprise Planning for more information on how to select the most appropriate installation path for your deployment of ARGUS Enterprise. System Requirements Before installing the ARGUS Enterprise core business services, the installation of the ARGUS Enterprise Database Server should be completed and verified. Please refer to the ARGUS Enterprise Server System Requirements to determine the hardware and software requirements that match the scale of your deployment. Installed Components Upon successful completion of the tasks described in this document, the following components will be installed: ARGUS Enterprise 11.0 database SSRS for Repertoire Reporting Application Service Process Services (Optional) Data Service 7 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.

Enterprise Server Installation Installation of Business Services ARGUS Enterprise core and optional business services are installed by a standard SETUP.EXE executable program. All services can be installed on a single server (i.e., single-server installation). However, it is recommended that each service be individually installed on different servers for medium or large deployments (i.e., multiple-server installation, see below). In either case, it is recommended that SQL Server be installed on a separate server. Single Server Installation The single server installation process will: Install the business service software.

Reporting The Reporting option allows you to deploy your reports according to the parameters set in the Report Mode and Report Location fields. Deploy to SSRS You can choose to deploy your reports to an existing Microsoft SSRS instance. SQL Server Setup ARGUS Enterprise uses Microsoft SSRS to generate reports within the ARGUS Enterprise Client. The presentation of these SSRS reports in the ARGUS Enterprise solution is referred to as Repertoire Reporting. It is assumed that SSRS 2008 (required) or SSRS 2008 R2 (recommended) installation has been completed and verified. To best support Repertoire Reporting, SSRS security should be configured in the following manner: Prerequisites Use the ARGUS Enterprise Service Account for accessing SSRS Report content via the Connection String. Define an AD group containing all users that will be accessing the content defined in SSRS as a BROWSER role. Before beginning the installation, ensure MS SQL Server 2008 R2 has been installed. If the database server is shared with other applications, database backups should be performed prior to installing. If SSRS is installed on the same cluster as ADW, the SSRS Reports for Repertoire Reporting installation must be run on each node of the cluster even though SSRS is not cluster-aware. If SSRS is running on a remote-hosted instance of SQL Server (different from the instance where ADW is installed) the SSRS Reports for Repertoire Reporting should be installed on the server hosting SSRS. 32 2015 ARGUS Software, Inc.
