Configure the MineMarket Client

Use this activity to configure the MineMarket Client to point to the configured MineMarket Service.

This activity updates the BulkTrak.exe.config file containing the configuration information for the MineMarket Client and specifies how to enable the Net.TCP Port Sharing Service on the client machine if object change notification is enabled on the MineMarket Server.

Activity Steps

  1. On the machine where the MineMarket Client is installed, navigate to the MineMarket installation folder and double-click AppConfig.exe.

    The Application Configuration Editor opens.

  2. In the Client Application category, update the following connection details:
    • MineMarket Service Hostname—Name or IP address of the server on which the MineMarket Service runs. Default: localhost.
    • MineMarket Service Port—TCP port that the MineMarket Marketing Service uses to communicate with the MineMarket Service. This port number must match the TCP port specified in the MineMarket Service configuration.
  3. Modify the Secure Tcp setting only if required. If True, the security mode for all TCP bindings is Transport. If False, the security mode for all TCP bindings is None. Default: True.

    Important: If this setting is changed, the security mode for all related TCP bindings must be changed to match. That is, the security mode of all related bindings must either be Transport or None. Changing this setting also affects any TCP bindings that have been added to the configuration file for custom integrations.

  4. Select whether to Use SSL. This setting must match the setting for the MineMarket Service. See Certificate Management and Configure the MineMarket Service.
  5. If Use SSL is True:
    1. Enter the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) specified in the server certificate as the SSL Target Name Override only if DNS cannot be used to resolve the address of the MineMarket Server machine using the server certificate SAN. For example, this field may be required if the MineMarket Server is installed on a virtual machine without access to a shared DNS.
    2. Enter the Keystore folder name where certificates are stored.
  6. Leave gRPC Tracers with its default setting of -all (with a prefixed hyphen) unless you need to debug the gPRC communication layer.
  7. Select whether to Use Remoting. This setting must match the setting for the MineMarket Service. See Configure the MineMarket Service.
  8. Click OK.

    The Application Configuration Editor closes and updates the BulkTrak.exe.config file.

  9. If object change notification has been enabled on the server, to enable the Net.TCP Port Sharing Service on the client machine:
    1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
    2. Select Administrative Tools.
    3. Double-click Services.

      The Services screen opens.

    4. Locate the Net.TCP Port Sharing Service.
    5. If the Status of the service is not Started, right-click the row containing the service and select Start from the menu to start the service.
    6. To set the service to start automatically when the computer is started:
      1. Right-click the row containing the service and select Properties from the menu.
      2. Select Startup type to be Automatic.
      3. Click OK.
      4. Close the Services screen.
      5. Close the Control Panel.
