IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server installation information
Note
: When selecting a non-default web site location on a 64-bit server, you cannot select a web
fi
les location under
C:\Program Files
in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Con
fi
guration
dialog. For example, if you de
fi
ned a non-default web site named
myWebSite
, and its local path
is
C:\Program Files\myWebSite
, you must select a web
fi
les location that is not located under
C:\Program Files
when you select
myWebSite
for the Data Collection folders and applications
(you can instead select the location
C:\Program Files (x86)
).
The
Advanced
button is available for advanced con
fi
guration of your chosen web site. This allows
you to place Interviewer Server Administration in its own application pool so each process can be
split across multiple application pools The operating system places a 2 GB restriction on processes
in IIS. Put simply, splitting a process across application pools means it is possible to run larger
processes. Refer to your IIS documentation for general information about application pools. If
you want to use application pools, proceed as follows:
Click
Advanced
.
This opens the Advanced IIS Con
fi
guration screen.
To place Interviewer Server Administration in its own application pool, select
Use
“SPSSDimensionNetPool” application pool
. If you want processes to recycle and/or shut down
after speci
fi
c number of minutes, select the appropriate option and enter the number of minutes
elapse time required. Selecting this option means that if the Interviewer Server Administration
process is recycled or shut down, anyone using Interviewer Server Administration activities at
that time will have to restart their session in order to continue working.
To place Interviewer Server in its own application pool, select
Use “SPSSmrInterviewPool”
application pool
. If you want processes to recycle and/or shut down after so many minutes,
select the appropriate option and enter the number of minutes elapse time required. Selecting
this option means that if the application process is recycled or shut down, anyone using
Interviewer Server activities at that time will have to restart their session in order to continue
working.

On the Internet Information Services (IIS) Con
fi
guration screen, click
Next
when you are ready to
continue.

On the Choose Destination Location page, choose the folder in which you want to install
Interviewer Server. The default is [INSTALL_FOLDER]\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\6\. Click
Next
.
E
On the File Management Folder page, choose the location of the File Management root folder
(FMRoot). This is the folder in which the master copies of project
fi
les created using Interviewer
Server Administration or the Scriptwriter desktop activities will be stored, and it is from here that
the interviewing machines will make local copies of these
fi
les.
The File Management root folder must be shared so that it is accessible by other machines. If
you choose a folder on your current machine, the installation procedure will create the share for
you. If you choose a folder with a UNC pathname (that is, one that starts \\machine_name\...) this
will be used as the shared folder. Click
Next
