Installing components on a SharePoint server

Some components of the Publisher must be installed on the SharePoint server from which documents will be published to the destination system. The components are provided as a solution package that is installed using a Windows PowerShell script. Therefore, PowerShell must be installed if it is not included with the installed version of Windows.

Note    After installation, the solution package will be visible on all sites of the same SharePoint farm but will only work on the site that is specified in the deploy script or typed manually during deployment.

Before you begin

Install the Microsoft SharePoint solution component as described in Installing components on the Publisher computer.

To install components on a SharePoint server:

1. Copy the following files from the Publisher computer to the SharePoint server:

C:\Program Files\BlueCielo Publisher\BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI.wsp
C:\Program Files\BlueCielo Publisher\BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Deploy.ps1
C:\Program Files\BlueCielo Publisher\BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Remove.ps1

2. By default, when the solution package is deployed, you will be prompted for the name of the SharePoint site collection where you want to deploy it.

Alternatively, you can modify the script to specify the site collection URL instead:

1. Open BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Deploy.ps1 in any text editor.
2. Find the definition of the $webapplication variable and edit its value to the URL of the SharePoint site collection where you want to deploy the solution package.
3. Save your changes and close the script.
4. The script BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Remove.ps1 can be used to remove the solution package. Repeat steps a to c with the script to specify the SharePoint site collection.

3. Open the SharePoint Management Shell and change the working path to the location of the script file.
4. Deploy the solution package by running the deploy script using the following command:

.\BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Deploy.ps1.

5. Open the SharePoint site where you deployed the solution package. The Home page appears.

6. On the Site Actions menu, select Site Settings. The Site Settings page appears.

7. In the Site Collection Administration column, click Site collection features . The Site Collection Features page appears.

8. Confirm that BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePoint01 is listed.

9. If the Status column does not contain Active, click Activate.

10. Continue by configuring the system link as described in Configuring a SharePoint server.

To remove the components from a SharePoint server:

1. Open the SharePoint Management Shell and change the working path to the location of the script BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Deploy.ps1.
2. Remove the solution package by running the remove script using the following command:

.\BlueCieloECM.Publisher.SharePointUI_Remove.ps1.
