Updating the SQL Database

Notice

Besides running the Engine Pack installation to install the CxEngine, or CxAudit, or both, on a host or multiple hosts in a distributed environment, you must also run the Engine Pack installation on the CxManager host to update the SQL database. If there are more than one CxManager hosts in the distributed environment, only run the Engine Pack setup on one of the CxManager hosts.

To update the SQL database, do the following:

  1. Since the CxManager component is already installed, the screen displays a check mark that cannot be edited, indicating that running the Engine Pack installation will update the engine data in the database.

  4. Select the server from the SQL Server Instance list. If using a non-standard database port, provide the server name with a comma followed by the port number (e.g., LOCALHOST\SQLEXPRESS,25).

    NOTE:For upgrades, previously defined SQL Server instance settings are loaded from the existing configuration and cannot be changed.

  5. For CxSAST, define a connection to the installed SQL Server or to any other SQL server on your network, by selecting one of the following:

    o Connect using Integrated Windows Authentication (login not required).

    o Connect using SQL Server Authentication (provide SQL user name and password for login with SA permissions).

  6. Click <Test Connection>. A message appears that the connection was successful.

  7. Click <OK>, and then click <NEXT> to continue. The Setup Summary appears.
