Installing the BankPost Agent

To install the BankPost agent

1. Install Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) on a Microsoft® Exchange Server computer.
2. In the online Help for MTS, locate the example called Validating Setup with a SQL Server Transactional Component. Follow the steps of this example, which helps you install Microsoft® SQL Server version 6.5 and the "Sample Bank," both of which are needed to run the BankPost agent. Be sure to complete all the setup procedures in this example.
3. Create a mailbox (suggested name: "Bank Teller") on the Microsoft Exchange Server computer.
4. Using the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, grant the Bank Teller's mailbox the permission needed to install scripts—for example, Author permission. For more information, see "Granting Permissions" in the Microsoft Exchange Server Programmer's Reference in the Microsoft® Platform SDK documentation.
5. Give yourself a "Manager" role for the Sample Bank. To do this, open the Microsoft Transaction Server Explorer; then, in the hierarchy under My Computer/Packages Installed/Sample Bank/Roles/Managers/Users, right-click and add your own Microsoft® Windows NT® account name. If you are a "Manager," you can add $500 or more in a single transaction using this sample application. If you are not a "Manager," this sample application displays an error message for transactions of $500 or more.

   Alternatively, find this location in the hierarchy, click File on the Users menu, click New, and then add your Windows NT account name.

6. Start Microsoft Outlook and locate the mailbox for the Bank Teller whose events you want the BankPost script to monitor.
7. Right-click this mailbox, or click Folder on the File menu.
8. Click Properties for that folder.
9. Click the Agents tab to display the Agents property page. (This tab is not displayed unless the Microsoft Exchange Event Service is installed properly).
10. Click New. This displays the New Agent dialog box.
11. To enable monitoring of new messages, select the check box A new item is posted in this folder.
12. Click Edit Script.
13. Paste the BankPost script code, which you can find in BankPost Files.
14. Close all dialog boxes by clicking OK in each. The BankPost agent is now installed.
