Preparing the Production Machine (Server) (Magic xpa 3.x)

Here is a summary of the steps that you need to carry out in order for the application to run on the server.

1. Make sure IIS is installed on the production machine.

2. Install Magic xpa on the production machine.

3. Copy the PublishedApplications folder from your development machine to the production machine. This folder contains the files required to install the application on the clients.

4. Copy any other folder that your application uses, such as images from your development machine, to the production machine.

5. Configure the engine and application settings file (Magic.ini).

6. Configure one of the middlewares:

Broker:

1. 1. Make sure that Microsoft® .NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR) 4 or above is installed on the production machine.

   2. Configure the broker setting file (Mgrb.ini).

GigaSpaces:

1. 1. Make sure that Microsoft® .NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR) 4.0 or above is installed on the production machine.

   2. Configure GigaSpaces as defined in the Deploying Applications on GigaSpaces concept paper.

7. Define the MIME types required to run ClickOnce.

8. Make sure that there is Read access to the directory where the Runtime resides.

9. If the environment does not support the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) system, make sure that every workstation has the same drive/directory mapping to the Runtime directory.

10. Make sure that the shortcut to the MgxpaRuntime.exe file's Start in field points to the same directory where the Runtime resides.
