Discovering Applications, Backup Servers and Hosts226
NOTE: You can use a remote SQL Server isql to run this script.
4. Type the SQL Server instance name, which must be visible to the client, as the first input when
running the script. The script prompts you for the name of the SQL Server on which to create
user for SQL Server management packages and the password of the SA account.
This script does the following in order:
• Creates the APPIQ_USER account.
• Grant create session and select on dictionary tables privileges to APPIQ_USER enabling
management server to view statistics for the SQL Server.
5. To determine if the appiq_user user was added correctly to your SQL server:
a. Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
b. Expand the user interface for SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Then, expand the specific
SQL Server and select Security.
c. Double-click Logins and view the list of users authorized to access the SQL Server.
d. If appiq_user is not listed, the management server is not able to discover the database.
6. To determine if the SQL Server is ready to accept connections from the management server:
a. Connect to the SQL Server installation through Query Analyzer using the account
“appiq_user” and the password “password.”
b. Create a sample ODBC datasource for the SQL Server installation using the appiq_user
account.
c. Click the Test button to test the datasource.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each SQL Server you want to manage.
Step B - Provide the Microsoft SQL Server Name and Port Number
The server name for the Microsoft SQL server and port number for managing a SQL database must
be provided in the following steps:
IMPORTANT: You must provide the host name in the Host IP/DNS Name field. You cannot use
localhost or parenthesis.
If you have name resolutions issues, your server may be discovered; however, your applications
will not be discovered. You can addressed the name resolution issues by adding entries within the
hosts file on the management server for the systems in question.
When configuring the System Application Discovery Settings for SQL servers, the following needs
to be specified as described in the steps within this section:
• Host IP/DNS Name: <IP Address>
• Database Server: <SQL Server Name>
• Port Number: <SQL Port #>
• Database Type: SQLSERVER
