Installing and setting up GetX Search for Sage 100 ERP is a very straight forward process and can be performed successfully by anyone familiar with typical Sage 100 ERP installation procedures. Allow just 15-20 minutes to complete all the steps.
Prerequisites to installing GetX:
- Get administrative access to the server where Sage 100 ERP is installed.
- Obtain a network login and password and a Sage 100 ERP login and password. You need both of these logins to set up the indexing engine post-install. Make sure they have passwords that do not change frequently. Also, both logins should have administrative rights.
- Ensure your server meets the requirements of Microsoft .NET 2.0 or higher. Most servers current with MS service updates will already satisfy this need.

Recap
Keys to a successful installation of GetX:
- Download the appropriate version from www.xkzero.com/ERP_search. (It supports Sage 100 ERP Versions 2017 back to 4.5 and the installer will work with Sage 100c, including Standard, Advanced and Premium versions)
- Install GetX like any other Sage 100 ERP module. (This must be performed on the Sage 100 ERP server.)
- Activate the GetX Module in Company Maintenance for each company for which you wish to perform data searches.
- Visit Role Maintenance and make appropriate settings for user role groups.
- Visit Modules/GetX /Setup/System Settings. Make any changes to the defaults, as appropriate, and click on āRegisterā to obtain your initial 30-day free license.
- Visit Modules/GetX/Setup/GetX Setup Wizard. Make any changes to the defaults as appropriate.
- Browse the ..\MAS90\GX folder and run GetXIndexService.exe. Right-click and select āRun as administrator.ā Enter valid network login and password.
- Set the timer to indicate how frequently you wish to index data. Run the initial indexing.
Note: The initial indexing may take some time, potentially an hour or more, depending on the size of your database and the caliber of your server. Subsequent indexing will take place silently, behind the scenes by setting up the timer during the installation process.
