5 On ITA_STATION, attach the database file, ITAssist_Data.mdf located
in DB_PATH to the local SQL Server. This can be done by executing the
following SQL statement against the local master database:
exec sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname=’ITAssist’,
@physname=’DB_PATH\ITAssist_Data.mdf’
NOTE: Ensure that there are no ITAssist_Data and ITAssist_Log files on the
ITA_STATION system.
First argument @dbname specifies the name of the database and must be
kept as
ITAssist . Second argument @physname specifies where the
database file is located. You should customize it to reflect the correct
location of
ITAssist_Data.mdf . Ensure that there is no ITAssist_log.ldf
file in the same path. If a file of the same name exists, delete it before
executing this command.
