To install the IPS Web Tracking API:

  1. Prepare the IPS database for replication, and if the IPS database is on a separate server from the Web Tracking database server, establish a connection between the two servers.
  2. Run IPSWebTrackingSetup.exe to install the Web Tracking database and synchronize with the IPS database.
  3. Prepare a web server with IIS 7 or later.
  4. Create a new website in IIS.
  5. Right-click on the website and create a new application associated with the website application pool.
  6. Remove the default documents from the application node.
  7. Copy the IPS Web Tracking distribution files into the application's virtual directory.
  8. Create a new SQL user corresponding to the application pool with access to the Web Tracking database and create a new role called IPSWebTrackingAPIRole with execute permissions on the SP_GETWEB_MAILITM_EVENTS stored procedure.
  9. Check the ODBC configuration matches the API's web.config file.
