SQL/ODBC Details

The SQL/ODBC Details dialog box allows you to configure the ODBC data source that is used to connect to SQL Server through iProcess Engine.

The following table contains detailed information for configuration options available in the SQL/ODBC Details dialog box.

Configuration Options

Description

Default Value

Choose An Existing ODBC Data Source

Select this radio button if you want to use an existing ODBC data source, then select the ODBC data source you want to use from the drop-down list.

Note: When installing the iProcess Engine on a 64-bit Windows system, only ODBC data sources created for 64-bit applications will appear in the drop-down list. See Creating the ODBC Data Source for detailed information.

Cleared

Enter A New ODBC Data Source

Select this radio button if you want to create a new ODBC data source, and then enter a name in the field for the new ODBC data source.

Note: This name must not be the same as any existing ODBC data source name on the computer where you are installing the iProcess Engine.

If you intend to use the TIBCO iProcess Connector for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks with this iProcess Engine, this name must be the same as the name of the database you want to use.

If you are installing the iProcess Engine into a Microsoft Windows Cluster, the msclustercommand automatically creates an ODBC data source with the same name and details on each secondary machine in the cluster. See Configuring the Microsoft Windows Cluster for detailed information.

Note: A 32-bit data source is created with <datasourcename>, <datasourcename>_master because the installer is 32-bit and it requires a 32-bit data source to connect to the database.

The odbc data source <datasourcename>_master is generated temporarily to connect to the master database. Once the installation is complete, this is removed.

Selected

 

SQL Server

Choose The SQL Server To Connect To

Select the name of the SQL Server that you want your new ODBC Data Source to connect to in the drop-down list or enter its name in the field directly.

Note: If the SQL Server you want to connect to is not listed in the drop-down list, make sure that the SQL Server Browser service is running. This service runs automatically, but if it is not running for any reason, the SQL Server will not be shown in this list.

N/A

Use Integrated Windows Authentication

This setting determines the authentication method that the ODBC data source will use when connecting to the SQL Server.

Check this check box if you want the ODBC data source to connect to the SQL Server using Windows authentication.

Uncheck this check box if you want the ODBC data source to connect to the SQL Server using SQL Server authentication (SQL Server login ID and password).

Checked

You Have DBA Privileges

Check this check box if you have the name and password of a SQL Administrator login. This SQL Server login must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Note: You must check this check box if you want the installer to create the iProcess Engine database and iPE DB Owner and iPE DB User logins for you. For detailed information about iPE DB Owner and iPE DB User, see Database Details.

Uncheck this check box if you do not have the name and password of a SQL Administrator login. In this situation, the installer will not be able to create the iProcess Engine database and iPE DB Owner and iPE DB User logins. To continue with the installation, you must have created the iProcess Engine database and iPE DB Owner and iPE DB User logins before running the installer. For detailed information, see Creating the SQL Server Database and Logins.

Note: It is mandatory to enter SQL Administrator login and password for Azure SQL.

Checked

 

SQL Server Login Name

This field is only available if you check the You Have DBA Privileges check box.

Specify the username of the SQL Administrator login that you want the installer to use to connect to this SQL Server.

sa

SQL Server Login Password

This field is only available if you check the You have DBA privileges check box.

Enter the password for the specified SQL Administrator login.
