Installing the Frac Data Web Service

The Frac Data Web Service is available for download from the Kingdom Download page at https://kingdomdownloads.enr.ihsenergy.com/.

You need to download both the Frac Data Web Service and the database backup file: Frac_Explorer_Database.bak.

Note

Before installing the web service, see Server Details for supported server operating systems and details of features enabled by the installer during installation of the Frac Data Web Service.

To install the Frac Data Web Service:

  1. Double-click on the IHS Markit Frac Data Web Service 2017.exe file.

  • User name and password for the database
  • Name of the actual database. The default name when the backup database is restored is Frac_Explorer_Database, but your database administrator can rename it.
