  • Local Install – If you’re doing a local installation and there is no domain on your network, you must be logged into the GlobalSearch server as a local Administrator.

  • Domain Install – If you’re installing onto a domain server, you must log on as a Domain Administrator and have permissions to create users on the Active Directory.

  • Local Install on Domain Server – If your machine is connected to a domain even though the installation is local, logging on as a Domain Administrator is still recommended.

 


Info
titleTroubleshooting SQL Server Deployment

Microsoft does not recommend deploying SQL Server on a server configured as a Domain Controller. Since SQL Server is required for the operations of GlobalSearch and GlobalCapture, Square 9 does not recommend this configuration. You can deploy in that fashion if you need to, but if you do so, Square 9 recommends that you first install SQL Server and then install your Square 9 application, following the Square 9 guidelines for deploying to an existing SQL Server instance. Please consult Microsoft article linked here for additional information.

  1. Once the installation media has been downloaded, double-click on it to run the self-extractor.

  2. In the GlobalSearch Self-Extractor window, select the location you want the files to go in Select extraction path.
    The default location is C:\SSMedia\version.

  3. Click OK to proceed with the extraction.
    This may take some time. If the extraction errors out, it is possible that the download has been corrupted or you have run out of disk space. If so, it will need to be downloaded again. Once it has been extracted, proceed to the GlobalSearch installation.

Square 9 Installer

Use the Square 9 Installer to install first GlobalSearch and then GlobalCapture. After these upgrades, install any GlobalSearch clients and GlobalCapture Engines. Note that the process requires one or more system reboots to complete.

  1. In Installation Type, choose the type of installation:

    • Sales Demo – This option is designed for resellers to demonstrate the product and as such, it has a 300-document database limit and no client install directory. It includes sample databases (installed by default), with several typical use situations to help with demonstrations. It assumes that your IP address will change and configuration files will be set to reference your machine as a localhost. 

    • Server Demo – This option is designed for demonstrating and training on the product. It also has a 300-document database limit and sample databases (installed by default). Unlike the Sales Demo, it includes a client install directory. It is configured to use your server’s static IP address or name.

    • Full Product – This installation type configures the full product. It requires a serial number for the product, sent from Square 9 Fulfillment. The Full Product installation has no document database limit and includes a client install directory. Sample databases are installed, if you select them during a custom install.

      Note
      titleInstall for QuickBooks Options

      You must have a desktop version of Intuit™ QuickBooks® installed to use the QuickBill Bundle, QuickScan, QuickLinks, or QuickSync connectors and a license key from Square 9 Fulfillment.

      While QuickBill Bundle, QuickScan, and QuickLinks are designed to work with GlobalSearch, QuickSync may be run with GlobalSearch or with another line-of-business application. It can be run on multiple desktops, although it is not recommended to have users syncing to the same database at the same time. This may result in inconsistent data or duplicate data when syncing.

      After installation, allow time for the initial data exchange to and from QuickBooks, which will vary depending upon your data. Once the initial data exchange has been done, QuickSync will only push the data which has been changed since the last sync command.


      Choose Database

      In Database Type, choose to either create or use an existing SQL database instance for GlobalSearch.

      Database Type

       



      Create a New Database Instance

      By default, GlobalSearch installs with Microsoft SQL 2012 Express® and creates a SQL instance called “GetSmart.”

      1. In Database Type, select Create a new GetSmart database instance and click Next.

      2. To indicate an alternate installation location for SQL Server 2012 Express, in Database Location, click Change.

      3. If updates to SQL Server are desired, enable Allow SQL to install updates after installation and click Next.


        Database Location

      Select an Existing Database Instance

      You can use GlobalSearch with an existing SQL Server database instance (SQL Server 2008 R2 or above).

      1. In Database Type, select Choose an existing SQL instance for use with GlobalSearch and click Next.

      2. In Database Server, in Database server that you are installing to, expand the list and select from a SQL Server instances or browse to a SQL Server instance.

      3. Choose login credentials in the Connect Using section:

        • Select Windows Authentication credentials of current user to use the login credentials of the currently logged in user to create databases in the specified SQL instance.

        • Select Server authentication using the Login ID and password below to enter the System Administrator (SA) user credentials.

      4. Click Next.

         Select Database Server and Authentication Method

      Choose Web Service Location

      By default, GlobalSearch is installed onto port 80. GlobalSearch must be the only application running on a specified port. The availability of the specified port is not validated by the installer; you must ensure the port’s availability prior to beginning the installation. 

      • If you plan on using SSL you shouldn't switch this port to port 443 on install. Use default port 80 then confirm you have a functioning system after install is finished. Then perform an SSL switch over.
      • How To Perform A GlobalSearch SSL Switch-over
      • Port 8080 is necessary for use with 6.1+ Identity Manager services. It is suggested you do not use this port as a custom port.
