Similar to the Personify360 Home Pages delivered with 7.3.1, the Unified Search functionality was created as an ASPX page. To install Unified Search and integrate it with your application, you need to host the Unified Search ASPX page on your web server and apply that ASPX page’s URL into your Application Parameters. The instructions for doing so appear in this section.
To install and integrate Unified Search into Personify360:
1. Using IIS Manager, make sure your Application Pool is under the .Net 4.0 Framework in Integrated Mode.
2. Navigate to your release package and copy the UnifiedSearch folder to your Web Server.
This folder contains a script that, when ran, creates a website named “PersonifyUnifiedSearch” on your Web Server that hosts the Personify360 ASPX Home Pages.
· If you want to modify this website and folder name, open Personify.UnifiedSearch.SetParameters.xml in a text editor and modify the red text below in the code:
<setParameter name="IIS Web Application Name" value="Default Web Site/PersonifyUnifiedSearch " />
· Save and close the file.
If you decide to modify the website and folder name, make sure you do not modify it to a name that already exists in your . . . /innetpub/wwwroot folder.
Also, if you have previously tried to apply the Personify360 Unified Search and therefore already have a Personify360 Unified Search folder that exists in your . . . /innetpub/wwwroot folder, make sure to delete this folder before proceeding.
3. Using MSDeploy, run the Personify.UnifiedSearch.deploy script.
If you do not have MSDeploy installed on your computer, please see the following website for instructions on Web Deploy installation: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9278654.
If you are unfamiliar with running command scripts with MSDeploy, please see Running the Command Script section below.
4. When complete, the script should have created the PersonifyHomePage folder.
Navigate to the following file path on your Web Server and verify the website and folder creation:
.../innetpub/wwwroot/PersonifyUnifiedSearch
If you modified the website and folder name, it should appear with your changes.
5. Make sure your IIS User has FULL privileges to this folder.
6. Record the URL for this newly created website.
For example, http://[your web server name]/PersonifyUnifiedSearch/
7. In Personify360, open the Application Parameters (APP008) screen.
8. Search for the UNIFIED_SEARCH_URL parameter.
9. Enter the recorded URL for where you hosted the ASPX files for step 6 in the UNIFIED_SEARCH_URL parameter value.
You are now able to use the Unified Search functionality.
If you are unfamiliar with running command scripts with MSDeploy, you can follow the instructions below.
To run the command script in MSDeploy:
1. Make sure you completed steps 1-3 of the previous section.
2. Open the Command Prompt with Administration privileges.
3. Access the Package folder located on your server.
4. Type the following command into the prompt and click Enter.
Personify.UnifiedSearch.deploy.cmd /t
Doing so will simulate the installation, but not actually deploy it. If your application pool is not currently configured for .Net 4.0, you will receive the following error message:
Error: The application pool that you are trying to use has the ‘managedRuntimeVersion’ property set to ‘v2.0. This application requires ‘v4.0’.
Error count: 1.
5. If you did not receive this error message, please proceed to step 6. If you did receive the error message above, follow these steps to reconfigure your application pool for .Net 4.0.
a. Open the IIS Manager.
b. From the IIS Manager, under Actions > Edit Site, click Basic Settings.
The Edit Site screen displays.
c. Click Select and select "ASP.NET v4.0" from the list.
d. Click OK to complete the configuration change.
e. Back in the Command Prompt, re-simulate the installation by typing the same code in as in Step 4:
Personify.UnifiedSearch.deploy.cmd /t
If no errors occur, you can proceed to the next step.
If errors do occur, determine the error code and contact your Customer Service Representative.
f. Open the Command Prompt again and navigate back to the UnifiedSearch package folder on your server.
g. Type the following command into the prompt and click Enter.
This command performs the PersonifyUnifiedSearch installation.
Personify.UnifiedSearch.deploy.cmd /y
h. Refresh your IIS Websites list.
The PersonifyUnifiedSearch website, or whatever name you gave your website, appears on the Websites list.
