SDW Installation V1.5

Prerequisites

  1. iShare installers, iShare3rdPartySetup and iShareSetup
  2. SDW scripts, available from https://bitbucket.org/astuntech/spatial_data_warehouse

Installation of PostgreSQL 9.0 and Studio

Studio is the recommended tool for managing the SDW. User administration tasks and data transfers are handled through Studio's Workflow module so it's a common requirement to have Studio on the same server as SDW. If Studio is installed elsewhere on the network then this section can be skipped. 

If Studio is being installed just for SDW then consider reducing Studio's modules to just Data Share Connections and Workflow.

To install follow these /wiki/spaces/ISHAREHELPSTAGING/pages/53215260 but with the following amendments

  • Include Postgres when running the Astun 3rd Party Installer.
  • SSL enabled OGR libraries will not be necessary unless using SSL connections are required for external connections
