A dedicated SQL Server 2012 (or higher) machine will need to be setup and configured to store the Enterprise Commander data. The server will need to be configured with:
- Mixed mode authentication
- Local account with privileges to create a DB and read and write to that DB
SQL Server Schema set up
Follow the steps below to configure the schema for Enterprise Commander:
- Create a SQL Server account (not a Windows or Active Directory account) which will be used to login to the server called ER_USER.
- Create a new Database called ER_COMMANDER and leave the Owner as <default>.
- Create a schema called 'ENGINEROOM'.
- In the ER_COMMANDER database create a new user for the database called ER_USER (note: this user is different to the ER_USER created to log into the SQL server).
- Map the Database user ER_USER to the SQL login user ER_USER and assign the default schema as 'ENGINEROOM'. On the Membership view, select dbo_owner.
Now that the pre-requisite services and SQL server have been set up, you are now ready to install Enterprise Commander.
