Workflow Administration Version 9

asked on February 13, 2014

 

Hello all,

 

Is the MSMQ HTTP Support component of Microsoft Message Queue required for Laserfiche 9.1 on Windows 2003 SP2?

 

I think the answer is "yes" but I need solid confirmation before recommending a change to the customer's server.

 

Regards,

 

Ben

MSMQ HTTP Support is not required. Just the "Common" or "Core" feature of MSMQ (depending on the version of Win 2003) is required for Workflow.

 

As for the link to the webhelp above, WF 9.1 uses .Net 4.5, which is not supported on Windows 2003. Workflow 9.0 and lower use .Net 4, so Windows 2003 SP2 is supported with those versions of Workflow.

 

No MSMQ is required for Laserfiche Server/Client.

It is if you have workflow installed. 

 

Workflow is what requires it, not the server product. The actual "tasks" in workflow is passed between the subscriber service and the workflow service using MSMQ, the SQL server is actually there just to store the workflows and as a location to store information about completed workflows. 

 

what I'm not sure about is if it is supported fully on Windows 2003. From this page it doesn't look like it is:  http://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/workflow/9.1/en-US/LFWorkflow.htm#Resources/Configuration/Installation and Migration/System Requirements.htm%3FTocPath%3DInstallation%7CPreinstallation%7C_____1

Yep, I'm referring specifically to Workflow and a the base component of MSMQ is installed. If IIS is installed, installing MSMQ automatically includes the HTTP component of MSMQ, otherwise selecting the component causes Windows to flag IIS as a pre-requisite.

 

Yep, that link you provided may be cause for concern and then there's this, which only goes up to 9.0.3...

https://support.laserfiche.com/KB/1013137

 

This one states that the HTTP component is a requirement, at least in Windows 8

http://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/workflow/9.0/en-US/LFWorkflow.htm#cshid=Resources/Configuration/Installation%20and%20Migration/MSMQ%20Windows%208.htm

 

I'm 99% sure I'll need to get IIS to get the additional HTTP component of MSMQ installed, but given the server is mission critical and in production, was just looking for the extra 1% of assurance!

On Windows Vista, 7 and 8, the component installation for MSMQ is somewhat weird because if you just selected the main MSMQ node and no components underneath, nothing gets installed. So it really doesn't matter which component you pick. On server OSs, MSMQ actually has a "Core" feature that allows you to install the basic functionality.

"Workflow is what requires it, not the server product."

Yep, I know... That's why I had the question tagged with Workflow, not Laserfiche ;)
