Requirements for Standalone Product
Standalone installation of PackBench requires that the port 23624 is opened. The port is used for a local TCP/IP communication between client UI part and a local proxy to access the SQL server.
The following executable files are concerned (they can both be found located in the root installation folder, by default C:\Program Files (x86)\RayPack\PackBench\):
•Client executable is PackBench.exe
•Local proxy is PackBenchService.exe
|
Be aware: PackBenchService.exe is not meant to be started manually. By doing so, a warning message will be shown instead. PackBench.exe should always be used as the application entry point. |
Requirements for Server Components
Server installation of PackBench requires the port 23624 is opened. The installation deploys a Windows Service which listens on this port to handle incoming and outgoing communication with clients.
|
Be aware: The default port 23624 can be changed during the installation. |
The name of the Windows Service installed by PackBench is PackBenchService and it is started from PackBenchService.exe from the main installation folder, by default C:\Program Files (x86)\RayPack\PackBench\. The service is by default set to auto-start mode, disabling or stopping the service causes that the incoming requests are not processed, and as such clients cannot communicate and work at all. The service runs by default as user Network Service.
When using integrated Windows Authentication, the service has to be allowed to read and write into the database created by PackBench installation. This is a checklist of things that have to be verified::
1.The Network Service user has to exist as a SQL Server login.
2.The login has to use PackBench as default database.
3.The login has a user mapping to the PackBench database.
4.The login has to be member of the db_datareader and db_datawriter for PackBench database.
Requirements for Client Components
Client installation deploys a thin client PackBench.exe to the main installation folder, by default C:\Program Files (x86)\RayPack\PackBench\). This executable has to be able to access the URL of PackBench service via the port number 23624.

Be aware: The default port 23624 can be changed during the installation. |
