Notes on Eclipse API Installer

1. Double-Click the Eclips.msi installer and click on next.

2. Accept the EULA and click next.

3. Choose the folder where you want to install the API

4. Set the Application name to “Eclipse” or any other that you want. Set the Host IP address to the

IP of the machine on which your Eclipse is running and the Port no. through which you’re

exposing it to the API. For help with this check with your Network Administrator.

5. Click Install

6. Click on Finish to complete installation

7. Change the permission of the folder where the application was installed – Right click on the

parent directory of the application, which in this case is C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Epicor\EclipseApi.

8. Right click and open Properties > click on the Security tab. Click on ‘Add’

9. Click on ‘Locations’

10. Enter the Object name as ‘IIS AppPool\Eclipse’.

11. Click ‘Check Names’ and the system will pick the API Application name correctly.

12. Select Eclipse and allow “Full Control”

13. Now, Open your IIS Manager and you should be able to view Eclipse under site drop-down. Also,

when you select Application Pool, you’ll find “Eclipse” under the list of applications running.

N.B: If you do get a WAS error like below, then follow the steps given below :

To Enable WAS (Windows Activation Services) – Go to Control Panel > Turn Windows feature

on or off > select Windows Process Activation Services > select all the 3 options, .NET

Environment, Configuration API, Process Model. Click ‘OK’ and restart the system

14. You also need to be sure that you’ve the version 4.5.2 or a later version of .Net framework

installed. If you’re not sure, please check under your Add/Remove program list from the control

panel

15. Testing – Enter the URL http://localhost/Eclipse/Api/v1/swagger/ui/index in a bowser and the

following page should load, which indicates that the API installed correctly.

16. If your ECC was configured correctly to point to the API then you may login to ECC Admin panel

and test your connection from ECC to Eclipse from the Quick Start menu.

If your connection is successful then the “Networking Settings” panel will turn green.

Congratulations! You’re all set
