Installation Overview

There are four parts to the installation process:

• Install DLL program
• Merge gINT library objects
• Merge gINT project table objects to your project file and your data template
• Activate the product license

The first three steps can be performed in any order and are described below. The activation procedure must be done last and is described in the License System User Guide.

Package Contents

Your software purchase may have come with the following contents:

• ZIP download which normally has the following folders: \gINT Files, \Documentation and \Installation files

Before Installation

A few basic preparations can help ensure an effortless installation.

• Make sure that the computer where you plan to install the program meets the minimum hardware and software requirements.
• Connect your PC to Internet before installation (must have a working Internet connection).

The Monitoring Tool requires that the Microsoft .NET 4.8 framework is installed on the PC prior to the installation of the Tool. If your PC does not have this, then it will be automatically downloaded and installed during the Tool installation process.

Merge gINT Library Objects

If you have purchased the Monitoring Tool gINT Add-In, then you have full access to the library objects, and you may proceed with the following steps to merge the gINT Library components into your Library file.

1. Make a backup copy of your existing library file. By default this is located at:
   C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley\gINTCL\libraries
2. Start gINT and open the library and project file you wish to use with Datgel Monitoring Tool gINT Add-In.
   The opened project and library files are displayed at the top of the gINT Window.
   
3. If you have a merged a previous version of the Monitoring Tool or you are merging into a DGD Tool gINT Files, first delete all object and tables that start with MON_ or DG_MON (includes project tables, user system data and reports) from your library and data template/project.
4. Select UTILITIES | Lib Merge/Copy.
   
5. Check the bullet that reads Merge From.
6. In the Source Library File pane, browse the installation ZIP download for file Datgel Monitoring Tool lib #.##.glb where #.## is the version number.
7. Check the bullet that reads Select All.
8. Check the bullet that reads Always Query.
9. Move all tables that start with DG_MON_* and at least the other tables in the screen shots, from the Available Source Tables pane on the left to the Tables to Merge/Copy pane on the right side.  If you are not using the DGD Tool, you may need to merge almost all tables.
   
   
       
   Overwrite the existing MON User System Data, Discrete Graphics and General Symbols only.
   If you are using the DGD Tool, overwrite the gINT Rules Module if it is newer than the existing one in your gINT Files. 
10. Click Execute. This process may take several minutes to complete.
    Take care to read the overwrite dialog and click Yes if you wish to overwrite the file, ELSE click No.
    
    This will merge in the lookup lists, Add-In menu item, and gINT Rules modules which are all related to the Tool.
11. Click OK to finish the merge.
    
12. Merge Field Units, with select non-duplicate

Merge gINT Project Tables

1. Make a backup copy of your existing project file. By default this is located at:
   C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley\gINTCL\Projects
2. Start gINT and open the library and project file you wish to use with Datgel Monitoring Tool.
3. Select DATA DESIGN | Project Database.
4. Select File > Open File > Current Project… to open your current project file.
5. Select Tables > Import Multiple Tables... then browse the installation ZIP download and select the file Monitoring Tool #.##.gpj

6. As a minimum, select the following tables that start with MON_* and click OK.
   
   When prompted with a dialog box, similar to the one below, click OK. This will import predefined project table data that can be used during data entry. 
   
   

   If you chose to edit the data and/or add to it, you will need to ensure that you update your data template so that any changes/additions are available in all future projects that are cloned from your data template.

   The WATER_STRIKE, PROGRESS and ROTARY_FLUSH tables are associated with the operation of the Monitoring Tool but you may already have similar tables in your project file. However, these tables are referenced in the Log Report Blocks DG MON WELL INSTALLATION and DG FLUSH RETURN 7 MM and if you chose not to merge these tables then you may need to update the field references in these blocks to ensure that the Monitoring Tool works with your custom project database.

Configuring Logos in the Library

Import a new raster file

Logos images are managed from SYMBOL DESIGN | Bitmap Symbols.  You can store many different logos here, each having its own page.  Non logo images can also be stored here.

Make a new Bitmap Symbol

1. Create a new page
2. Enter the Name and Description.
3. Using the Load Raster File browser, select the file you wish to import, and click OK.

Replace existing Bitmap Symbol with a new image

1. Select the item from the object selector list
2. Open Page Properties
3. Using the Load Raster File, browser, select the file you wish to import, and click OK.

How to add a new Office

1. If required, import the raster file as described in section Import a new raster file.
2. Navigate to DATA DESIGN | Library Data, and open table DG_COM_OFFICE.
   
   DG_COM_OFFICE
3. Make a new record and update the Office, Engineer_Logo, Figure_Logo, and Figure_Logo_X_Offset fields.
4. Return to INPUT, and on the Project table select new item in the Office field. If you prefer to use the new office for your projects, set it as the field default, and make a new data template.
5. Move to OUTPUT, and test that log and graph reports present the logo as desired. You might need to adjust the value for Figure_Logo_X_Offset to present the logo cantered in the figure title block box. Keep in mind that by default the logo will be offset by 2 mm.

Activate License

After installation (and before using the Monitoring Tool Add-in), activate the user license as described in License Administration.

gINT*.exe.config edits

The gINT*.exe.config files for gINT versions V8i and 10.# are edited by Datgel software during installation.  When Datgel's software splash screen shows it checks the edits to gINT*.exe.config files are present, and if not it will attempt to apply the changes.  If your user account doesn't have administrator rights you will be prompted to enter administrator credentials.  Installing a new version of gINT will return the gINT*.exe.config file to its virgin state, hence Datgel's software will need to apply the edits again next time your run it.
