Standalone SQL Server

When you choose the standalone SQL Server option, you will next be prompted for the information needed to connect to the database server and create the adTempus database.

Please review the Using a Standalone SQL Server Instance topic for information about SQL Server requirements and configuration.

The Database Name will default based on the name of the computer where adTempus is running. You may change the database name to something else if you prefer.

• If the database does not already exist, the setup program will create the database.
• If the database already exists, it must be empty (no tables or other schema objects). The setup program will populate the database with the required schema objects and data.
• Each adTempus instance requires its own database, so if you will be hosting data for more than one adTempus instance on a single SQL Server, be sure the database names are unique.

Click Next to continue to the Authentication page, and specify SQL Server login credentials if necessary. These credentials are used only for the database creation and configuration process; adTempus itself will use different credentials as discussed in the Using a Standalone SQL Server Instance topic.

Click Next to continue to the Select Actions page. All actions will be selected on this page, which will be appropriate for most installations.

Click Next, then Next again to begin setup.

At this time, the setup program will connect to the database server, create and initialize the adTempus database, and start the adTempus service using the new database.

If this process fails for any reason, review the error messages for more information, and contact technical support. The adTempus software will remain installed, but you will not be able to start the adTempus service until the database is successfully installed and configured.
