Installation steps
-
Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
-
By default, an application pool for web applications is set to DefaultAppPool. You must create a new application pool for SDBMerge during the first-time installation.
Use the command below to create the new application pool:
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD add apppool /name:SDBMerge
-
Run the following command to replace SDBInstallDirectory with your installation path:
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD add app /site.name:"Default Web Site" /path:"/SDBMerge" /physicalPath:"<SDBInstallDirectory>\SDBMerge" /applicationPool:SDBMerge
To delete the SDBMerge application from IIS, run the following command:
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD delete app "Default Web Site/SDBMerge"
-
Ensure you have the Read and Write permissions for IIS_IUSRS in the Exports folder under <SDBInstallDirectory>\SDBMerge.
-
Ensure you have the Read and Write permissions for IIS_IUSRS in the Logs folder under <SDBInstallDirectory>\SDBMerge.
The SDB Merge Tool is a web-based tool, and it can be accessed using the web URL
after hosting successfully.
Default URL: http://<servername>/SDBMerge/Index.html. The servername specifies the computer on which the web application is hosted.
