Setting Up the Database on Windows

When you install NerveCenter for the first time or move the NerveCenter database to a new location, you must either set up a new NerveCenter database or reconnect to an existing NerveCenter version 3.7 database. (If you are upgrading, refer to Upgrading to NerveCenter 3.7.)

If you instructed NerveCenter Setup to set up your NerveCenter database, then DBWizard is automatically launched for you after NerveCenter Setup is done.

If you create a new database, you can use either a Microsoft Access database or a Microsoft SQL Server database. As part of the creation process, a serialized database file is imported into the database. The serialized file contains the base set of NerveCenter objects, including polls, masks, alarms, and so on.

This chapter includes the following sections:
