Choose Database

Aug 14, 2017

In the Choose Database step in the Configure AppDNA Environment wizard, you select the database that you want to use.

Database – From the drop-down list, select the database that you want to use. The list shows all of the databases for which the AppDNA web site has references. If you cannot see the database that you want to use in this list, you need to add the database to your AppDNA web site. See Add Existing Database for more information.

Backup (recommended) – (Upgrades only.) Select this check box (the default) if you want the wizard to automatically perform a backup of the database before upgrading it. Clear this check box if you have already performed a backup in SQL Server.

Error: The wizard cannot detect any AppDNA databases – What you need to do if the wizard displays this message depends on whether you have used AppDNA before and already have an AppDNA database:

  • If you already have one or more AppDNA databases, click Close to exit the wizard. Then run the wizard again to add the database(s) to the web site. See Add Existing Database for step-by-step instructions.
  • If you do not have an AppDNA database, click Close to exit the wizard. Then start the wizard again, and choose the Configure new installation option. This creates a new database.
