| New Database
|
Displays the Project Database Utility dialog where
the user can either create a new project database, or upgrade an existing one.
|
| Server Name
|
User can install an instance of SQL Server 2008 on
the local machine. The Server name field displays the default local server name
(local)\BENTLEYECAD. The
parameter (local) is a special variable that automatically matches the name of
your computer so it is not necessary to enter your computer name if you use
this parameter.
If you wish to configure the software to look at a
different database server then you must enter the appropriate server and
instance name. The format should be as follows:
YourServerName\Instance
Example: MyServer\BENTLEYECAD
|
| Separate Database Per Project
|
This forces the user to create a separate database
per project.
|
| Dyamically switch databases in project manager
|
This option determines how the software behaves in
the multiple database strategy. If you have two projects created in two
different databases and select Project 1, it will switch the database
connection to the database that Project 1 was created in. If you now select
Project 2 it will switch the database connection to Project 2's database and
allow you to open it.
When this option is disabled, the default database
called out in this same setup dialog is the only database you can connect to.
Any project that belongs to a different database is marked with a red circle on
the project folder indicating it is inaccessible.
|
| Default database name
|
Enter the name of the
Bentley Substation
database to which you wish to connect. By default, the
software creates a database named
Substation.
Note: If you install
the software again without deleting the original database, the installation
will connect to your existing database provided that the new version of
Bentley Substation
does not require a newer version of the database. If the
installation does require a newer version of the database, it will create a new
database named "promise1" so that it does not overwrite your previous database.
|
| Windows authentication
|
Windows Authentication will use the user's Windows
login name to determine what security rights they have to the database.
|
| SQL server authentication
|
The database administrator will have to create a
login and password for the user in SQL server. Enter this login and password in
the login and password fields.
Note: The Login name
and Password fields are only enabled when this option is selected.
|
Lets you create a new database or
select an existing database for a new project.
