Preparing the database server
Follow these instructions to prepare the database server.
Before you begin, run or verify that you have a valid and up-to-date backup of the current Discover databases.
Before you upgrade the databases, verify the following:
- If you are upgrading on a remote server, you must create the filegroup paths on the remote SQL Server before you upgrade.
- If you are not logged in as a user with admin privileges on the database, make the following
entries or selections in the Authentication box:
- Manual Authentication
- User name:
<SQL Server login>
- Password:
<password>
Note: Do not use Discover authentication during an upgrade. - The user that installs the databases must have access to a user account that has permissions to
create databases on the remote SQL Server. You must be logged in as a trusted user that has admin
privileges, or you must have the user name and password for an authorized SQL Server login. Note: To upgrade the databases, the database user account must have SA privileges.
