Setting Up the Lab Environment

The Nsure Resources laboratory environment can include the following systems:

  • One PeopleSoft or SAP HR application

  • One GroupWise, Lotus Notes, or Exchange messaging application

  • Any combination of account systems and directories, including eDirectory, Active Directory, or NT4

A typical laboratory environment.

Figure 2: A typical laboratory environment.

The installation process varies somewhat depending which systems are included in the laboratory environment. In general, setting up the laboratory environment involves the following steps:

  1. Install the HR application, messaging application, and account systems and directories or make the necessary preparations to access such systems in a development environment. When installing these systems, certain specific information must be gathered about these applications. This information is used later when setting up the DirXML drivers. The DirXML drivers use this information to access the applications.

  2. Install Novell eDirectory and create the Workforce Tree on a separate server.

  3. Install the DirXML Engine on the same server as the Workforce Tree.

  4. Install Novell iManager and Novell eGuide on a Web server.

  5. Install the DirXML plug-ins and preconfigured DirXML drivers on the Web server.

  6. Install the DirXML Remote Loader service and install the driver shims to the HR system, messaging system, and account systems and directories that are included in the laboratory setup.

  7. Install the preconfigured files for deployment of the default configured Nsure Resources into the Workforce Tree. In the set-up process (when importing the driver configuration files to create the preconfigured DirXML drivers), the Import Drivers task prompts for the system information gathered earlier.

  8. Install and run a sample project on the HR system for PeopleSoft or configure ALE for an SAP HR system.
