Remove all old MATCH IT! DNA short-cuts associated

with the previous MATCH IT! version prior to upgrading. Shortcuts should be manually deleted from the desktop

and Start menu.

If multiple client computers are connected to the same MATCH IT! database, make sure users on all clients computers close the MATCH IT! DNA software prior to doing any upgrades.

(Optional) Create a backup of the MATCH IT! DNA

database if this is an upgrade installation. This can be done through Database Management.

4. Decide which database configuration is required. Refer to Appendix B.

i. Server based – pg37 ii. Dedicated workstation – pg39 iii. Luminex system – pg41

5. Decide whether the Autobatch setup feature is going to be used in MATCH

IT!? If yes, please see instructions LC1509 LIFECODES Services Installation. Navigate to WWW.IMMUCOR.COM/LIFECODES for download.

7. Database Management- Choosing a SQL Instance fails

When attempting to choose a SQL Instance (server name or computer name), the instance does not appear in the dropdown do the following:

a. Database on Server (Client Install) 1. Type in the name of the SQL instance or machine name, if the

instance is valid and Match IT! can connect, the databases it

holds will be listed. 2. Select the appropriate database.

Click Connect to establish the connection to the database. Select OK.

3. If the SQL instance appears but Database Management can not connect:

Check to see if a port for the instance has been specified.

Ask the database administrator to check the port settings in SQL Server Configuration Manager. If a port has been specified then add the port number to the

SQL instance in the dropdown. Example:

<Computer name>, <port number>

MatchITserver,1500

b. Database on a Dedicated computer (Client Install)

Check setting on the dedicated computer that holds the database. Verify the following:

1. Checking the SQL Browser state: Open SQL Server Configuration Manager: Start menu | All

Programs | Microsoft SQL Server | Configuration Tools Click SQL Server Services.

Check that the SQL Server Browser is stopped. If it is not then, right click the service and choose stop.

2. Check TCP/IP protocol: Open SQL Server Configuration Manager: Start menu | All Programs | Microsoft SQL Server | Configuration Tools

Click SQL Server Network Configuration. Click the correct protocol. This will be the name of the

instance that holds the database. (usually Evolution) Verify the status of TCP/IP. It should be enabled. If it is not

then, right click on TCP/IP and choose Enable. 3. In Database Management, type in the name of the SQL

instance, if the instance is valid and Match IT! can connect, the databases it holds will be listed.

4. Select the appropriate database.

Click SQL Server Network Configuration. Click the correct protocol. This will be the name of the

instance that holds the database. Double click TCP/IP. Choose the IP Addresses tab.

Scroll to the bottom to find IPAll. Check the TCP Port field. If a port has been specified

then add the port number to the SQL instance in the dropdown.

Example:

<Computer name>, <port number>

7.0 Appendix B - Database Configuration Options

Immucor‟s MATCH IT! product supports a number of different network topologies allowing it to be configured to meet the needs of the network and IT

policies.

1. Server Based Installation - Recommended

The configuration assumes that the IT department has a dedicated server

running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard edition or above.

Immucor will provide the database administrator a database as an .mdf file for attachment and instructions for setup of the database user.

Pros for this configuration Database Server will be more efficient in processing data compared to a

standard desktop database. IT typically backs up their database systems nightly.

More stable configuration for the system as a whole. Database size is only limited by the amount of space available on

hardware.

Cons for this configuration

Additional cost for Microsoft SQL Server if IT does not already have a dedicated Server.

Note: MATCH IT! requires a evosa login which is the dbowner for the

MATCH IT! database. MATCH IT! uses lifematch#1 as the default password for evosa.

The password can be changed and after connecting to Database Management, there will be a prompt to enter the evosa password.

of 42 LC1491.1 (02/15)

Figure 1:

Server Based Installation – Recommended

Figure 1: Server Based Installation

Dedicated Database Server – MATCH IT! database is created on server using a script provided to IT department. Lab PC 1, 2, N - Only the MATCH IT! client is required on Lab PCs. Each

PC connects to the MATCH IT! database on dedicated server. Luminex System(s) – LIFECODES Services is required for auto batch

processing. The MATCH IT! client is optional on this machine.

Notes: Connection between Lab PC(s) and Luminex System is over TCP/IP.

If the Luminex System has a firewall running, port 7575 must be opened for communication between Lab PC(s) and the Luminex system(s).

of 42 LC1491.1 (02/15)

2. Dedicated Desktop PC Installation

The configuration assumes the Lab has a dedicated Desktop machine that will be used as the main SQL Server 2008 Express server.

Pros for this configuration

Less cost than a dedicated database server (SQL Server 2008 R2 is free from Microsoft)

Better option than using Luminex system as the database server if a

dedicated database server is not available.

Cons for this configuration System does not function optimally when a database has grown to 6GB

Limited Database size of 10 GB. SQL Server 2008 R2 would require intervention to create nightly backups

System performance could degrade as the system is database dependent

Note: Software does not function optimally when a database has grown to 6GB. It is recommended that a new database is created.

of 42 LC1491.1 (02/15)

Figure 2:

Dedicated Desktop PC Installation

Figure 2: Dedicated Workstation Database

Dedicated PC Workstation – Full database installation of MATCH IT! is required.

Lab PC 1, 2, N - Only the MATCH IT! client is required on Lab PCs. Each PC connects to the MATCH IT! database on dedicated PC workstation.

Luminex System(s) - LIFECODES Services is required for auto batch processing. The MATCH IT! client is optional on this machine.

Notes:

Connection between Lab PC(s) and Luminex System is over TCP/IP. If the Luminex System has a firewall running, port 7575 must be opened for communication between Lab PC(s) and the Luminex system(s).

of 42 LC1491.1 (02/15)

3. Luminex System with MATCH IT! Database (Not recommended for

high volume)

The configuration assumes the Lab is using the Luminex System or another client system to house their main MATCH IT! database.

This installation requires the full MATCH IT! database for the Luminex system. This will be accomplished in Step 5 of Section 6.

Pros for this configuration

no cost as Luminex system is already available

Cons for this configuration System performance could degrade as now both the MATCH IT!

Database and the Luminex Database are both on the same system contend for resources. User intervention required for nightly backups.

Note: Software does not function optimally when a database has grown to

6GB. It is recommended that a new database is created.
