Configuration Files
After installing Scotland Yard there are two (2) configuration files that must be modified for Scotland Yard to work in your environment.
How to change the configuration files is documented later on this installation page.
| File Name |
Description |
| web.config |
.Net configuration file for the web services |
| config.xml |
Configuration file for the client web software |
Running the setup.exe
After downloading and unzipping the syweb.zip file, run the setup.exe file ON THE SERVER to install Scotland Yard.
Below are some of the screen shots that will be displayed:
Change the Virtual Directory from "Setup Project" to "ScotlandYard" (no spaces). If you want to use another name for the virual directory,
it is recommended that the virtual directory does not include spaces. The virual directory will be part of the URL for employees to access the software.
Please read the read me file for the overview of the installation steps. The read me file will also be installed in the virtual folder under the name
SCOTLAND YARD WEB EDITION.rtf
Modifying the configuration files
After Scotland Yard Web Edition is installed into the Virtual Directory, there are two configuration files that need to be modified.
Step 1: Modify the web.config configuration file.
In the folder where Scotland Yard Web Edition was installed, modify the "connectionString" in the web.config file. The web.config file will looks like this:
Use WordPad or an XML editor to edit the file. Change the SERVERNAME to the name of your server that is running SQL Server. Most of the time this may be the same server name as the name of the server where Scotland Yard is installed.
If needed, modify the Integrated Security section to meet your server requirements, including changing it to user name / password.
Step 2: Modify the config.xml configuration file
In the folder where Scotland Yard Web Edition was installed, modify the config.xml file.
The config.xml file will looks like this:
Use WordPad or an XML editor to edit the file. Change the "http://192.168.200.104/sy.asmx?WDSL" to the URL of your server that the employee's will be accessing. Do not make the URL "localhost" as this will not work from employee's workstations.
Examples:
webServiceURL value="http://intranet.mycompany.com/scotlandyard/sy.asmx?WSDL"
webServiceURL value="http://192.168.100.101/sy.asmx?WSDL"
After you make the change to the config.xml, cut and paste the value settings (i.e. http://192.168.100.101/sy.asmx?WSDL) into a browser window.
If the Scotland Yard web service page is displayed, you will know that the config.xml file should be setup correctly.
Step 3: Install the Scotland Yard database
The Scotland Yard SQL database was included in the setup package and is located in the same folder where the Scotland Yard files were installed.
The file name is ScotlandYard.bak
Run Micrsoft SQL Management Studio (or the Express version) and create a new database name ScotlandYard. Then select the menu choices Tasks, Restore, Database....
On the restore form, select "To Database: Scotland Yard". Select "from device" and then browse to the ScotlandYard.bak file.
The Scotland Yard file will then loaded with the database schema and sample database.
Additional notes
The ScotlandYard database is pre-populated with a sample set of employees.
To run Scotland Yard, run your browser application, then select the IP Address or URL with "scotlandyard.html".
Examples:
http://intranet.mycompany.com/scotlandyard/scotlandyard.html
http://sy.company.com/scotlandyard.html
To login, use the demo employee account information:
Login email: demo@demo.com
password: demo

Be sure to add additional users with Employee Administration rights before deleting the demo@demo.com user.
