Info
In choosing to manage an on-premise installation of Gold-Vision, you are accepting responsibility for a range of tasks and services which are normally provided as part of our hosting environment. Although Gold-Vision uses industry-standard technologies, it is a comprehensive product and very likely to contain business-critical information. In the technical area, this would include
- Installing, running and monitoring the 3 main elements of a GV installation
- An IIS/.Net web application
- A SQL/Server database
- A Windows file system document store
- Security
- Managing user access rights to the system (In conjunction with a GV administrator)
- Managing administration access rights for the initial installation and subsequent updates
- Managing External access & SSL Certificates
- Windows, SQL, and Gold-Vision patching and updating
- Backups
- Ensure that SQL/Server backups are correctly configured and monitored in line with the chosen transaction logging strategy
- Ensure that other elements of the system and backed up and monitored
- Capacity Planning
- Monitor usage levels and space utilisation for SQL/Server
- Monitor disk space usage for the attachment/document storage (Which is expected to grow over time)
- Disaster Recovery
- Ensure appropriate resources are available off-site in line with the company Disaster Recovery plan
File API Document Storage
Please follow the below recommendations if you require to capture files for the following:
- Gold-Vision Portal
- Aster API end points
Info
NOTE The File Api currently only supports windows file system based document stores. SharePoint is NOT supported.
Requirements
- Setup an additional active directory user to act as the application pool user for the File Api. Capture the full username (domain\user) and password for later steps.
- Create an additional document store which will be used for storing any files committed to the file ap. This document store should be separate from the primary document store. Ensure a UNC share is setup for this location and capture this for later.
- Setup a Webdav in IIS to point at the file Api’s document store
- Setup permissions for the document store. Recommendations for these are:
- Primary Gold-Vision application pool user – Modify permission
- File Api application pool user – Modify permission
- All Gold-Vision users (or a group they all belong to) – read permission
