Preparing SQL Server databases

Make sure that the following requirements are met:

  • The Scout Server machines must be provided with suitable ODBC drivers to connect to the SQL database. For further information, see System requirements.

  • We recommend that you create the required databases in Microsoft SQL Server before you install the Scout Enterprise Management Suite. Alternatively, new Scout databases can be created in Microsoft SQL Server during the installation, relevant rights provided.

    Note:

    For all databases, the database tables are created automatically by the Scout installer.

    For further information, see Database support.

  • SQL or AD users (SQL serverInstance> / Security / Logins) with relevant permissions for all databases

    For further information, see SQL Server users and application roles.

  • The Browser service on the SQL server must be started.
