2. Select the I accept the terms of this license agreement option, and click Next.
3. We strongly recommend to use the default installation path for IMSMA^NG. Click Next.

If you are upgrading from version 5.x or re-installing 6.0, it is important that you uninstalled the previous IMSMANG installation and deleted the C:\IMSMAng folder.

4. If the target folder does not already exist a message will be shown, click OK.

Part 5 Type of configuration

IMSMA^NG is a application that consists of two layers; client and server, and may be configured in two different ways:

• stand-alone - both server and client parts are on the same computer (incl. database)
• client/server - server and client(s) parts are on different computers

You may read more about application layers and configuration here.

Stand-alone configuration

Client/server configuration

For both client/server and stand-alone installations there might be a need to configure allocated memory.

Part 5A Stand-alone

If so desired set SystemName by:

1. Start the IMSMA Control Centre by clicking on the IMSMA TrayLauncher shortcut.

2. Select the IMSMA Client Configuration Tool option.

Go to Part 6, do not change the configurations as outlined in Part 5B Client/server since they are configuration for another type of installation than what you have.

Part 5B Client/server

To configure the server in a client/server installation:

1. Navigate to the c:\imsmang\server\imsmaserver\conf folder.
2. Open the GisService.properties file.
3. Set the fileserverURI.base property to http://localhost:8080 where localhost is the name or IP address of the IMSMA^NG server.
4. Save the changes to the file.

To configure the client in a client/server installation:

1. Start the IMSMA Control Centre by clicking on the IMSMA TrayLauncher shortcut.

2. Select the IMSMA Client Configuration Tool option.
3. Select the value for the java.naming.provider.url property.
1. Set the java.naming.provider.url value to hostname.domain replacing hostname and domain with the appropriate values, or to the IP address of the server.

Part 6. Verify installation

The IMSMA^NG installation is now complete. After installation it is important to start the IMSMA^NG client in order to verify that the installation is complete and working. This is especially important if the user that did the installation, e.g. an IT administrator, is not the same local user that will use IMSMA^NG.

If you do not know how to start the IMSMA^NG server, click here for instructions, and here for instructions on how to start the client.

Part 6A How to solve ArcEngine problems

If the ArcEngine license is not registered and activated you will not be able to use IMSMA^NG. Below you will find steps on how to solve it.

ArcEngine license error message

If this error message is received then start the ArcGIS administrator in Start menu > ArcGIS.

Select ArcEngine (Single Use) and click on OK.

Select Availability in the tree structure and verify that you have Expires set for ArcGIS Engine and Spatial Analyst.

If Expires is not set then right-click on IMSMA Control Centre icon in the taskbar and select IMSMA Client Configuration Tool.

Click on Install license button, OK, Save and Exit.

Open the ArcGIS administrator and verify that Expires are set. If not, restart the computer and repeat the steps above until Expires are set.

Part 6B How to solve font problems

When you have been able to start the IMSMA^NG server and client, in the Navigation window, choose Map display in the Map menu and expand Land by Type. If the symbols looks like the symbols in the picture below, the font installation has worked.

If the font installation did not worked:

1. Go to C:\IMSMAng\trayLauncher\exe\FONTSInstaller.
2. Copy the files manually to C:\Windows\Fonts.
3. In most cases it is enough to get the symbols refreshed to restart the IMSMA client.
4. If not, restart the computer.
5. Start the IMSMA server and client.
6. If the symbols in the map still do not look OK then
   Go File menu and import the map again.
