- Run the Carousel Server software installer on your application server with the REMOTE_SQL=1 flag, typically via Command Prompt.
- This will tell the installer to skip over installing SQL Express, as well as trying to run the SQL scripts.
- Once the installer runs, copy the TRMS\DATABASE\SCRIPTS folder to your SQL server
- Create two new databases on the SQL server, Name one Carousel50 and the other FrontDoor50
- Run the following command in command prompt on the SQL server:"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regsql.exe -E -d FrontDoor50 -A mrp"
- Using a management console or oSql command run the FrontDoor50-PopulateDB.sql script.
- Using a management console or oSql command run the Carousel.sql script.
- Make sure you have a login for the web server that can access the SQL server and both the FrontDoor50 and Carousel50 databases as DBOs.
- Modify the C:\TRMS\Configuration\connectionStrings.config file.
- Reboot the Carousel Server.
- Continue with the Licensing portion of the Carousel Server Installation process.
Example Connection String:<add name="CarouselConnectionString" connectionString="data source=127.0.01;User=myuser;Password=mypassword;initial catalog=Carousel50;" />
Additional Information
Your drive letter may be different depending on the directory chose when installing Carousel.
For information about running the aspnet_regsql.exe command remotely, see this Microsoft ASP.NET article.
If you have a specific instance hosting the Carousel50 and Frontdoor50 databases, make sure to specify the instance name in the connection string. For example: data source=MySQLServerName\CarouselInstanceName
