  1. Installation
    1. Manual and install instructions. (Danish). Please note that the SQL Server should support Full Text Search.
    2. The latest version (2.4.0.3) of DIR Classic can be found at https://dvisystem.blob.core.windows.net/dir/DIR2.4.0.3.EXE

  2. DIR Classic integration to Persontjansten.
    1. To test the functionality of the integration, we provide a mockup of the service, which can be downloaded at: https://dvisystem.blob.core.windows.net/dir/DirService.exe (selfextracting archive).
      1. To use the mockup, unpack the archive to a folder of your choice E.g C:\DIR\Mockup.
      2. In Internet Information Services (IIS)  Manager, add a new website:

      3. Name the site, point it to the mockup folder and provide a suitable port:


      4. To connect properly to the service from DIR, you have to edit the Dir.exe.config file, which can be found in the DIR install folder. 
        In the <system.serviceModel> section, edit this line:
          <endpoint address="http://pds-sys-akd10:2200/DataService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IDataService" contract="DataService.IDataService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IDataService"/>
        so that the service address corresponds to the one just created.

        Also edit the line    <setting name="UsePersonTjanstTest" serializeAs="String">         <value>False</value>       </setting>
        Set the value to True.
      5. Test data:
        1. The test data provided consists of 7 persons with the following fake Id's:

    2. After installation of DIR and configuration of the config file, start the system and change the language to Swedish:
    3. Restart the program to let the language change take effect.
    4. Open a Disaster (Three demo disasters are provided with the installation)


    5. Initiate creation of a missing person
    6. Enter the id for one of the fake id's:
