Beacon Script: This should be Beacon URL appended by "/arc-eum.js"

Profile applications running with classic mode in IIS AppPool

Since IIS can manage only native modules in classic apppools, we need to manually add Applicare module in the application web.config file.

Add the below lines in web.config file inside <system.web> and recycle the appropriate apppool.

<httpModules>
<add name="ApplicareAgentProxy"
type="Arcturus.Applicare.DotNetAgent.WebProxy.HttpModule, Arcturus.Applicare.DotNetAgent.WebProxy, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92605d16e632d5c4"/>
</httpModules>
