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>.
- In the ER_COMMANDER database create a schema called 'ENGINEROOM'.
- In the ER_COMMANDER database create a new user for the database (note: this user is different to the ER_USER created to log into the SQL server) with all the settins below:
- User type: SQL user with login
- User name: ER_USER
- Login Name: ER_USER
- Default schema: ENGINEROOM
- In the Membership page select db_owner
Now that the pre-requisite services and SQL server have been set up, you are now ready to install Enterprise Commander.
