Navigation:  WebOffice > Installation

There are two typical installation scenarios for WebOffice 10 R3:

 

•Single server scenario: All software components are installed on one server

•Distributed server scenario: Software components are distributed on multiple server machines

 

Note: A distributed server scenario is not recommended for WebOffice 10 R3. Because of security checks concerning the DCOM connection (from  WebOffice application server to ArcGIS server) a bit of time is lost during every request. This has negative impact on performance.

 

In the names of all subsequent chapters concerning installation, you will find an indication where the particular software component gets installed. Possible locations for installing a software component in a distributed server scenario are

 

•Application server (where WebOffice 10 R3 resides on)

•GIS Server (where ArcGIS Server SOC processes run on)

•Administrative computer (where ArcView and ArcCatalog as well as WebOffice author are installed for administering and authoring the projects and services)

 

The basic installation process in the distributed server scenario is similar to the single server scenario, it is just the software components that get installed to various different machines.

The main difference between the two scenarios is the post installation and configuration process that needs to be done after installation has finished.

 

At this point the single server scenario is explained in detail.
