Data Folders and Settings

Copy the Data API runtime files that have been provided to you from your Reseller and copy them to a folder on the same PC as the IIS installation. It is advised to copy the files into a folder under your "C:\" drive.

From this location open apssettings.json and enter the correct data for your domain, tenant id, client id and user id. A demo example is attached below:

The fields that will be populated are:

• PtxlDatabase: this is the connection string to your database (more info in database setup section)
• Domain: your company's domain
• TenantId: your Azure tenant ID
• ClientId: this is the ID of the Perceptor Desktop app registration
• PTXLUserId: this is the ID of the user's group registered in your Entra ID

Register the website in your IIS

Right click “Sites”.

Click the 3 dots next to the Physical Path and browse to the folder you copied the runtime files to:
