Webcon Installation & existing SQL Databases
0

Hi all!

We have a new customer who has a central IT service department. As for the database, we can just order a certain amount of databases, which we then have access to.

The question is, is it even possible to install Webcon into existing databases (e.g. Config, Content, Att,...) or do we need a fresh SQL instance from the customer and an admin account with db_creator or sysadmin rights (as described in the installation manual)?

Sorry for the somehow unclear question...

Thanks in advance & best regards, Nik

Hi,

As far as I know, you can specify an existing database network when reinstalling the WEBCON server. However, this would have to be generated in advance and transferred to the actual target server. So you first have to create a server including the databases (on a temporary, local SQL server) and then transfer the databases to the target server. The connection to the actual SQL server can then be switched using the admin tool in the WENCON setup.

Hi

The procedure described by Ralph will work but you can do it easier.
You (IT Team) can create empty databases on the SQL Server, (no WEBCON BPS Schema, no WEBCON BPS tables... - empty) and use the names of created databases during WEBCON BPS installation. WEBCON BPS Installer will do the rest.

Remember to grant permissions (dbo) no that databases (depending on the type of authentication: SQL Login or Windows Authentication)
