Webcon Installation & existing SQL Databases

0

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)

Thanks a lot for the helpful answer to Pawel and Ralph.

I was expecting Webcon to throw an error during installation, if a database exists.

But if it allows empty databases the question is resolved for me.

We will take care of necessary permissions then.
