Internet Information Service
The Moveware server needs to be setup such that it can host a website. For servers running a Microsoft Operating System, a program called Internet Information Service (IIS) is available to allow the server to host a website. IIS is a Microsoft product available as an additional program with Windows. The following details how to setup IIS for the effective operation of Waybill Transfer. Ensure the order is followed:
1. Check if IIS is installed. To do this go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools and look for Internet Information Services. If it cannot be found then IIS is not installed. To install IIS see you network administrator or see the Microsoft website for instructions.
2. Set the default website to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ (this should be set to the default website when IIS is installed). This is not mandatory however it easy if all Moveware companies are running out of the same directory.
3. Once IIS is setup on the server, copy mwsoapserver.asp into the default website folder (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ or the folder setup in step 2). This file is located in C:\Removals\Setup\mwsoapserver.asp
4. Run setup.exe located in C:\Removals\Setup\Update\Required\mwcdlls\setup.exe
5. Run mwcserviceinstall.bat located in C:\Removals\Setup\Update\Required\mwcservice\mwcserviceinstall.bat
6. Add a folder named xml to the default website (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ or the folder setup in step 2)
7. Allow network users to change my files.
- Share this folder on the network
- Share name: xml
- Allow network users to change my files.
8. In IIS (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Service) expand the folders until the created xml folder can be seen under the Default Web Site. View the Properties of the xml folder (right-click then go to properties) and in the Default tab of the Properties window set the xml folder to have at least the following:
- Read
- Log Visits
- Index this Resource.
9. Start the website (Click the play button in IIS).
10. If the Moveware server is running a firewall then IIS needs to be given access the Internet. The firewall should allow exceptions to be given to programs to allow them to access the Internet. If the Moveware server is running the Windows firewall (Control Panel > Windows Firewall), IIS should be available to be selected from the list of programs in the Exceptions tab. If a non Windows firewall is running then access to the Internet needs to be given to the port IIS is setup on. This port can be found in the properties of the Default Web Site within IIS. See the manufactures manual to find out how to do this.
Moveware Code Information
Moveware Codes should contain the following code types and entries:
XML System
Within the codes table there needs to be a code type called XML Type. This lists the systems supported by Moveware that generate XML files for data transfer. Within this list there needs to be an XML System call Moveware Connect. It requires the following information: Code Value: MWConnect Description: Moveware Connect Short Cut: MWC Status: Active XML Type Within the codes table there needs to be a code type called XML Type. It lists the types of XML files produced by Moveware for data transfer. Within this list there needs to be an XML Type call Waybill Transfer.

This type lists all of the Web IDs that have been allocated to each of Moveware’s clients along with the IP address of the client’s website. These values will be administrated by Moveware. The values will already setup on upgraded systems. The detail of each client’s website is located in the comments field of the codes table. This website information needs to be accurate as it determines the success of the sending and receiving of XML files through Moveware Connect.
