Upgrade Mobile Server

If you have an ENPS Mobile Server, follow these steps to upgrade it:

  1. Back up the following configuration folder:

    C:\inetpub\wwwroot

  2. Follow the upgrade instructions in the ENPS Mobile Admin Guide on this documentation site.

    If required by the Platform Installer to set a JSON Web Services Backup Address, enter the word NONE.

    Once the upgrade has completed, remove the entry from the backupServiceAddress field in IIS > Default Web Site > ENPSWebAccess3 > Application Settings, leaving it blank.

    Do not enter a service version for the Mobile Server webservice.

Enable Dynamic Compression

The Dynamic Compression feature allows the Internet Information Services (IIS) Webservice to compress data that is being sent to ENPS clients.

Turning on this feature brings a considerable increase in ENPS client performance, particularly for users on a weak connection to ENPS servers. For example, improvements should be noticed with client start time, search time, and general speed when working with rundowns.

To enable dynamic compression for ENPS Mobile and browser clients:

  1. Open Server Manager on the ENPS Mobile server.

  2. Click Add roles and features.

  3. Click Next in the Add Roles and Features Wizard until you reach the Server Roles page, ensuring your server has been selected:

  4. Tick Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Performance > Dynamic Content Compression:

  5. Click Next twice and then click Install.

  6. Click Finish when installation has completed.

  7. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the ENPS Mobile server.

  8. Select the server in the left pane.

  9. Open Management > Configuration Editor in the central pane.

  10. Select Section > system.webServer > httpCompression.

  11. Select the dynamicTypes field and click the ellipses button at the end of the line to open the Collection Editor window:

  12. Click */* to select that item in the Collection Editor.

  13. Change the enabled property to True.

  14. Close the window and click Actions > Apply in the top-right of the Configuration Editor.

  15. At a quiet time, press + R to open the Run prompt and enter the following to restart the webservice on the ENPS Mobile Server:
