Installing the front end and REST service

To install the front end and REST service on an IEE application server:

  1. On the IEE installation package, go to the IEE Install Suite folder, and launch the IEE Install Suite installer.

  2. Double-click IEEInstallSuite.exe to open the file. This will start the extraction process for the contents of the installer. This may take several minutes.

  3. When the extraction process has completed, the User Account Control dialog will appear, select Yes.

    The User Account Control dialog.

  4. On the Itron Software License Agreement screen, read the agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then select Next.

  5. From the IEE CSR UI  dropdown menu, select Install, and then select Next.

  6. Select Proceed to begin the installation. The installation may take several minutes.

  7. When the installer has completed the installation, select Next.

  8. On the Completion screen, select Finish to close the installer.

    Important! ItronEE Application Server does not restart automatically after the installation has completed; you must restart the service manually.

    Note: If the installation failed, select Open Failed Installation Log to view the log file, correct the issue, select Next, and repeat the installation process.

  9. Navigate to the subfolder "MdmWeb" (for example, C:\Program Files\Itron\Enterprise Edition\MdmWeb) and open the Web.config file in a text editor as an administrator (in order to save it). Find the following line:

    <add key="iee:serviceRoot" value="http://localhost:8080/api/"/>

    Change it as follows:

    <add key="iee:serviceRoot" value="http://{server-name}/mmdmwebapi/api/"/>

    Note: Replace {server-name} with the fully qualified domain name of the deployment server.

  10. Add the Google API key.

    1. While still in the MdmWeb folder, and open the index.cshtml file in a text editor as an administrator (in order to save it).

    2. Find line 14:

       <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp"></script>

    3. Replace line 14 with the following, and insert your Google apps API key where it says {YOURAPIKEYHERE}:

      <script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?client={YOURAPIKEYEHERE}&v=quarterly&callback=initMap"></script>

  11. Ensure that there are no errors in the modified line. From a command prompt window launched as an administrator, run the following command:

    iisreset

  12. Return to your workstation and run the application in a browser to test your changes.
