2 Add a user for this database that has permission to create tables, views, and, in the case of Oracle,
triggers and sequences, as well as permission to read from and write to these objects.
For a Microsoft SQL Server database, do not use the Integrated Windows Authentication security
model method of authentication. Be sure to use the SQL Server Authentication method of
authentication.
The database is created, but the schema is not installed until you configure the database in View
Administrator.
What to do next
Follow the instructions in “Configure the Event Database,” on page 109.
Prepare an SQL Server Database for Event Reporting
Before you can use View Administrator to configure an event database on Microsoft SQL Server, you must
configure the correct TCP/IP properties and verify that the server uses SQL Server Authentication.
Prerequisites
n
Create an SQL Server database for event reporting. See “Add a Database and Database User for View
Events,” on page 107.
n
Verify that you have the required database privileges to configure the database.
n
Verify that the database server uses the SQL Server Authentication method of authentication. Do not
use Windows Authentication.
Procedure
1 Open SQL Server Configuration Manager and expand SQL Server YYYY Network Configuration.
2 Select Protocols for server_name.
3 In the list of protocols, right-click TCP/IP and select Properties.
4 Set the Enabled property to Yes.
5 Verify that a port is assigned or, if necessary, assign one.
For information on the static and dynamic ports and how to assign them, see the online help for the
SQL Server Configuration manager.
6 Verify that this port is not blocked by a firewall.
What to do next
Use View Administrator to connect the database to View Connection Server. Follow the instructions in
“Configure the Event Database,” on page 109.
