+The link above is the document outlined by John Ray for WebAPI Setup & Configuration along with the troubleshooting steps for “Common Issues” at the bottom part.
+This additional note highlights the entire procedure + extra points.
+<note important>Correction to what was originally stated, WebAPI files (.INI. EXE &. BAT) files must all be on the same version as SystemFive.exe.</note>
+  - Separate directory / folder for the Training WebAPI
+<note>This is to avoid getting it over-written during CopyOver or regular Training upgrades. It is imperative that the training webapi environment is left alone while the customer's programmer is doing his test.</note>
+  - Create a New DSN Database and enable via “Pervasive.SQL Database”.
+<note>They might already be using DSN Database for other Windward Modules, so do take the time to double-check. The point here is that you need to have a "valid" DSN Database for WebAPI. And although "Pervasive.SQL DSN-less Connection is known to work, it is suggested to use "Pervasive.SQL Database" for stability.</note>
+  - Enable the “Use Record-State Tracking” via Setup Wizard / Miscellaneous menu
+<note>Enabling this feature will load a bit, depending on the size of the dataset.</note>
+  - “S5WebAPIService” service must be or ideal to be restarted every day.
+<note>The restart can be done via Windows Task Scheduler, the steps is provided on the setup document above. Also the restart needs to happen during off hours, after midnight.</note>
+  - WebAPI ports: plan ahead and request both live & training ports to be open by the IT Guy.
+<note>This will save us a lot of time and potential problems.</note>
