Logging and Reporting setup

All machines running IPFusion will require the Logging and Reporting installation.

The Logging and Reporting software requires both MSMQ and MSDTC services to be available.
  • The SQL Server the database is hosted on requires MSDTC with remote connections allowed. This can be turned on in the Component Services under MSDTC properties (context menu).
  • Microsoft Message Queueing is also required by the Logging Software to provide guaranteed delivery. This Windows Feature is enabled by the Logging and Reporting software installer.
  1. If the service is running, take the following steps:
    1. Go to Allow an app through Windows Firewall via the Windows start menu.
    2. Find Distributed Transaction Coordinator. Enable it. Enable the Private and Public check boxes.
  2. Go to Windows Start Menu > Component Services
  3. Component Services > My Computer > Distributed Transaction Coordinator > Local DTC > Right-click Properties
  4. Enable the following options in Properties > Security:
    • Network DTC Access
    • Allow Inbound
    • Allow Outbound
    • No Authentication Required
  5. Press Apply > OK. A message will say Distributed Transaction Coordinator service will need to be restarted.
