Springlake BizFiles ProfessionalServer Installation Guide (1)


• Server Installation Guide (1) shows how to install the pre-requisite before installing Springlake BizFiles Professional Server– Install a database (SQL Server) – Setup ODBC data source for SQL Server

It is assumed Springlake BizFiles Professional Edition is being installed for the first time on the server.


Pre-Requisite

Prior to installing/upgrading to Springlake BizFiles Professional Edition, we need to install a database server and setup an ODBC data source.

• Database Server– For Professional Edition, only MS SQL Server 2008 Express is

supported. Can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website.– MS SQL Server 2008 requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

which is already pre-installed on Windows 2008 but not for Windows 2003.

– Note that the MS SQL Server 2008 32-bit installer can only be installed on 32-bit Windows OS and vice versa for 64-bit installer.

• ODBC Data Source– Need to setup after database is installed.

For this training, will be using Windows 2008 64-bit VM and SQL Server 2008 Express 64-bit.


Pre-Requisite

• MS SQL Server 2008 Express is needed to store the users, roles, permissions, content metadata, audit trails and some other system information

• A database user is also needed to access the database.

• In the following slides, we will show how to install and setup SQL Server 2008 Express– For the most part, default SQL Server 2008 settings

will be used during installation. The SQL Server Management Studio tool will also be installed.


Installing SQL 2008 Express

• Start the SQL Server 2008 Express installer (SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)

Choose “New

The newly created database user “sl6”


ODBC Data Source

• Springlake server connects to the database via ODBC

• Therefore, the matching ODBC driver for the database needs to be installed. For SQL Server 2008, it is already pre-installed.

• The ODBC data source needs to be created.


Configure ODBC Data SourceStart the

ODBC Data Source
