Insightful Clinical Graphics Server Installation for Windows

The following instructions assume that all components will be installed on the same server, and that you have already installed and configured the S-PLUS Enterprise Server for Windows (on a separate CD). We recommend that you follow these steps in the order shown to ensure a successful installation. If you encounter problems or need additional information about customizing your Insightful Clinical Graphics Server installation, try one of the following:

Supported Platforms

Insightful Clinical Graphics (iCG) Server is supported on the following versions:

  1. Windows Server 2000 (Server and Advanced Server)
  2. Windows Server 2003 (Standard and Enterprise)

System Requirements

Minimum recommended system requirements:

  1. 555 MB disk space to install the S-PLUS Enterprise Server.
  2. 171 MB disk space to install the Insightful Clinical Graphics Server.
  3. One or more 1 GHz processors

    Note these figures are in addition to the disk space required for Apache Tomcat and the JRE (both are installed as part of the S-PLUS Enterprise Server).

Insightful Clinical Graphics Server Installation

  1. Stop Apache Tomcat

    Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools, select Services. Click Apache Tomcat and change status to Stop.

  2. Install the Insightful Clinical Graphics Server

    Double-click Install_ICG.exe, located at the top level of your Insightful Clinical Graphics CD. This launches an InstallAnywhere wizard that installs the Insightful Clinical Graphics Server.

  3. Run ResignICGClient.bat to re-sign the files

    Note: The ClickOnce installation used in your Windows-based iCG client requires access to a Windows machine with .NET 2.0 SDK installed. To determine the system requirements (e.g., you must install .NET 2.0 Framework or higher before installing the SDK) and install .NET 2.0 SDK, follow this link.

    This Windows machine must have XP, 2003 Server, or Vista installed to re-sign (e.g., Windows 2000 Server does not have a Internet Zone Security setting (reg.exe), and thus cannot be used to re-sign the files).

    Run ICG_HOME\client\tools\ResignICGClient.bat, where ICG_HOME is the location of your iCG installation. This re-signs the files, which is required by the installer.

  4. Modify SplusServer.xml for iCG Support

    Edit CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\SplusServer.xml, where CATALINA_HOME is your Apache Tomcat installation directory. Set the value of splus.init.file to point to ICG_HOME\init-icg.ssc (default is C:\Program Files\Insightful\Insightful Clinical Graphics\init-icg.ssc): 

    <Environment name="splus.init.file"
             value="C:/Program Files/Insightful/Insightful Clinical Graphics/init-icg.ssc"
             type="java.lang.String"
             override="false"/>

    Be sure to adjust any other properties (e.g., splus.verbose.log) to match your configuration .

  5. Start Services

    Start -> Control Panel, select Administrative Services, and then select Services. Right-click Apache Tomcat and select Start. Repeat if you created the FLEXnet license manager service (listed as IFUL in Services).

  6. Update the iCG Server and Client Software

    The following steps are necessary only if you are updating the iCG Server and client:

    1. Stop the following services: Eclipse Infocenter, Apache Tomcat, and IFUL (if installed).
    2. Uninstall iCG Server using Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Insightful Clinical Graphics.
    3. Reboot the server. Stop any services (above) that were set to automatically start upon reboot.
    4. Run the iCG installer by double-clicking Install_ICG.exe.
    5. Resign the files by running ICG_HOME\client\tools\ResignICGClient.bat, where ICG_HOME is the location of your iCG installation. This resigns the files, which is required by the installer.
    6. Start the iCG-related services (Tomcat, Eclipse Infocenter, and IFUL).

    Your iCG Server should now be installed and correctly configured. If you experience difficulties or have any questions, please consult Technical Support (listed above).

    Uninstalling iCG Server

    To uninstall, run ICG_HOME\Uninstall_ICG\Uninstall_ICG.exe.
