We will cover these topics:
 Client Server Architecture
 Web Server - IIS
 Web Application
 Database Server
 Fusiontec Software
Architecture

SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1 10

 Client Server Architecture
 Client – The client is
the mobile or
computer which sends
requests to SERVER
connected in the
network – Internet
(Cloud) / Intranet /
Self Hosted.
 The Client requests
can be sent thru
Applications like
Browsers or Directly
from Device Port to
Server Port access.
SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1
 E.g. 1. A Mail client
requests for latest
mails received in the
inbox to MAIL SERVER.
 E.g 2. A Web Browser
request will be sent to
WEB SERVER and the
server process the
request and sends
back the RESPONSE to
the requested client.
 E.g.3. Same Machine
has application /
database / usage.
11
 Web Server
 IIS – Internet Information Service - Server

 The Service used to process and respond for http, ftp applications related requests. [Web Server Requests]

 Purpose of IIS: When any user sends the request thru browser by opening some URL (eg. 45.35.169.89/finfusion) then
the server (45.35.169.89) accepts the requests in the default port 80 and process the client’s request and returns the
RESPONSE to the client.

 Enabling IIS – We can enable IIS in any Windows PC / Server by using “Turn Windows Features on / off” option.

 Our Web Servers are deployed in cloud with the vendor – Databasemart.com

 45.35.169.89 – Test Environment / Live Environment

 38.17.50.19 – Live Environment

 Internal Web Servers @ Client Premises – e.g. PHC, Sanco

SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1 12

 Web Application
 A Web Application is a software application deployed in Web Server to provide services thru
internet / intranet.

 Steps to Deploy a Web Application:

 The web application can be deployed @ Root (C:\inetpub\wwwroot folder) or @ virtual directory (D:\
Fusiontec\FinFusion) level

 First the published folders and files are to be copied and pasted to respective root or virtual directory folder.

 Open IIS Manager

 Right click the default web site and click Add Virtual Directory  Select the path of the published files
copied folder

 Set the Application Pool [if required enable ASP.NET from Turn Windows Features on or off - within WWW
Services]

 Set Security rights to IUSR – “Full control” to respective Virtual Directory / root folder.

 Convert the virtual directory to “Application” to access thru URL. Eg: http://45.35.169.89/finfusion

 Change the mandatory things in web.config – Connectionstring, BaseURL, ReportURL, QRCodeURL, etc.

SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1 13

 Database Server
 DBMS – Database Management System – Server – e.g. [SQL Server / Oracle / MySQL / PostgreSQL/etc.,].

 A database server is a server which uses a database application that provides database services

to other computer programs or to computers, as defined by the client–server model
 Database: A Database is an organized collection of data stored and accessed electronically. Small
databases can be stored on a file system [MS Access], while large databases are hosted on
computer or cloud storage. e.g. FinFusion / SCFS_ERP/ TIBC
 Security Vs. User :

 A “Security” in SQL Server is the login credentials managed @ Server level. Eg. Ftec

 A “User” in SQL Server is the user linked to respective database and mapped to respective login and managed @ Database level.

 Whenever any database is restored, if application throws error while logging in then we need to remove the user from database
by dropping the user and re-map the login to the data base with required roles[db_owner,etc.,].

 SQL Server - Services
 An instance is a name of the SQL Server which is used in the application to
connect using login credentials to Store / Retrieve data in / from database.

 SQLSERVER Service: The Main service used to run the SQL Server instance.

 SQL Server Agent: The service used to execute jobs at scheduled intervals.

 E.g. SQL Database Backup @ regular intervals.

 Note: It is not available in Express edition.

 The services can be start “by Automatic” or “by Manual” by using

“Services.Msc”

 To use the SQL Server Configuration Manager, select the appropriate file for
your SQL Server version and Run as Administrator:
SQL Server 2016 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager13.msc
SQL Server 2012 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager11.msc
SQL Server 2008 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager10.msc
SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1 29
 Accessing SQL Server
 We need to use SQL Server Management Studio – [SSMS] / Query
Analyzer tool to connect the SQL Server and access to sql server.

 Instance Name: The default computer name / IP address can be

used to access the SQL Server.

 Using “.” we can access the sql server of localhost.

 Port: The port [e.g. 1092] allocated to SQL Server service.

 Login: Username to connect the SQL Server.

 Password: Password to connect the SQL Server.

SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1 30

 Executing Queries in SSMS / isqlw
 Using SQL Server Management Studio – [SSMS] / Query Analyzer
tool we can read data from database / write to database.

 Query Window: “New Query” button can be used to open a “Query

Editor” where the sql queries can be typed or copied.

 Database: We can directly select the database which is to be used for

the query. [USE <db> command also can be used]

 Execute: After selection of one or multiple queries, we can click the

“Execute” button to execute [“F5” key can also be used].

 Results: The output of the query executed will be shown in “Results”

window [Grid/ Text / File – Modes].

 “Go”: GO is not a SQL keyword. It's a batch separator used by the SQL
Server Management Studio code editor tool for when more than one
SQL Statement is entered in the Query window. Then Go separates
the SQL statements. We can say that Go is used as a separator
between transact SQL Statements.
SUPPORT TEAM SKILLS TRAINING - PART 1 31
 SQL STATEMENT TYPES
• Data Definition Language - changes the structure of the table like creating a table, deleting a table, altering

DDL a table, etc.

• All the command of DDL are auto-committed that means it permanently save all the changes in the
database.

• Data Manipulation Language - commands are used to modify the database. It is responsible for all form of

DML changes in the database.

• The command of DML is not auto-committed that means it can't permanently save all the changes in the
database. They can be rollback.

DCL • Data Control Language - commands are used to grant and take back authority from any database user.

• Transaction Control Language - commands can only use with DML commands like INSERT, DELETE and

TCL UPDATE only.

• These operations are automatically committed in the database that's why they cannot be used while
creating tables or dropping them.

DQL • Data Query Language - is used to fetch the data from the database.
