Salesware Installation Guide : Installation overview : Installing Pool Service : Running an EZ using either the old Pool or the new Pool Service Running an EZ using either the old Pool or the new Pool Service
It’s possible to install Pool Service on any Middleware computer and run an EZ using either the old Pool or the new service. Doing a side-by-side install of PoolService allows you to fire up the old Pool Service OR the service (both can't be running at the same time).
1. Create a directory in Program Files\siriusware\poolservice. Put the following files in it:
poolservice.exe
servicemonitor.exe
Pool_system.INI
[Optionally for the fancy UI]
sirius-service.css
calldetail.html
main.html
serverdetail.html
back.jpg
corner-star.jpg
2. From a command prompt, you need to install the service.
"Siriusware poolservice tallyez" binpath= "C:\Program Files\Siriusware\PoolService\poolservice.exe TallyEZ41"
3. Set up a shortcut to servicemonitor.exe like this:
"C:\Program Files\Siriusware\PoolService\servicemonitor.exe" "[service]Siriusware PoolService TallyEZ[/service][port]10007[/port]"
Note: ServiceMonitor can run without the [port]....[/port] part of the argument passed to it. (This is usually part of the shortcut.) By default, it starts at 10006 and scan ports until it finds one that it can use to communicate with the service. If a port is passed as an argument, that is where it begins scanning. After 100 ports, it gives up. Also, in the About box, it shows what port it is using (in addition to the version information and physical location of the service it is monitoring which is already there).
