 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

1 Overview

This document describes the configuration information you should

pay attention to during and after database installation when iMC is
used together with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The document is
applicable to both the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition and the
SQL Server 2005 Express edition. The document also describes the
configuration information specific to each edition. In the end, the
document describes some problems you may encounter in
uninstalling SQL Server 2005 and the countermeasures.
The database versions used in the documentation are SQL Server
2005 Workstation and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, which may
differ a little bit from other versions.
Before installing iMC, install SQL Server 2005 first. After installing
SQL Server 2005, restart the operating system and then proceed to
install iMC.
Currently, you can install the database on a separate database
server and save the iMC data on the database server. To install the
database on a separate database server, follow these guidelines:
z On the iMC server, install an SQL Server client with the same
version as the database.
z Create a data file folder on the database server, and input the
path when deploying the iMC components.

5 Installing the Embedded Database

To simplify the installation and maintenance, the standard and Lite

Editions support automatic installation and configuration of the
embedded database. Thus, you can directly install and deploy iMC
on a Windows-based machine without a database system.

Requirements for Installing the Embedded

Database
The embedded databases used by the standard and Lite Editions are
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express. iMC standard edition does not
provide an embedded database. This database supports only limited
data space, so you are recommended to use its business Edition.
When using this embedded database, limit the number of iMC
managed devices to 50 to ensure stable performance.
Before installing SQL Server 2005 Express, you need to install the
following software:
z Windows Installer 3.1
z Net Framework 2.0
z MDAC 2.8 SP1
z Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or higher
If you wish to download these add-ons, visit the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

5-1
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express can be installed only in the

partition where Windows is installed and it requires about 400 MB of
free disk space.

Preparations for Installing the Embedded

Database
Before installing the embedded database to a server, make sure that
the server does not have SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005.
If the server has SQL Server 2000, delete the following registry
entries before installing the embedded database:
z HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur
rentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft SQL Server 2000
z HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SQL Server\80\Tools
If the server has SQL Server 2005, delete the following registry
entries before installing the embedded database:
z HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur
rentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft SQL Server 2005
z HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SQL Server\90\Tools

5-2
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

With the above-mentioned registry entries, you cannot install the

embedded database normally.

Installing the Embedded Database

You can install the embedded database when deploying iMC
components.
In the deployment of the Mini iMC and Standard Editions, if the
component being deployed needs database support while SQL
Server is not present on the server, a message will appear in the
Data Configuration Info window of the deployment wizard, asking
you to install the embedded database.
If the requirements for installing SQL Server 2005 Express are met,
perform the following steps:
1) In the Data Configuration Info window of the deployment wizard,
select the Install embedded database checkbox.
2) Click Next to enter the Configure Web Service Port window.
3) Click Deploy.
Then, iMC will automatically install SQL Server 2005 Express. After
the installation finishes, you can deploy the components.
If the requirements for installing SQL Server 2005 Express are not
met, a message will appear in the Data Configuration Info window
telling you that the requirements are not met. You can install the
database and deploy components only when the requirements are
met.

5-3
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

z The same procedure is used for the installation of the embedded

database on the master and slave servers.
z SQL Server 2005 Express will be automatically installed in the
partition where Windows is installed. The login password for the
sa user is iMC-Install2005.

Requirements for Removing the Embedded

Database
Removing iMC will not remove the embedded database. You can
remove the embedded database only by selecting Control Panel >
Add or Remove Programs.

In some operating systems, you cannot remove SQL Server 2005

Express by clicking Remove in the Add or Remove Programs
dialog box. In this case, click Change.

6 FAQs

Will Changing the Computer Name Affect the

Database? How to Restore the Database?
Changing the name of a computer running SQL Server 2005 may
cause some database operation failures.
In this case, perform the following operations to update the computer
name saved in the database:
Suppose the old computer name is SERVER_1 and the new one is
SERVER_2. Open cmd.exe of Windows and execute the following
scripts (assuming that the login user name is sa and the password is
iMC-Install2005):
osql -Usa -PiMC-Install2005
select @@SERVERNAME
go

The old computer name SERVER_1 is displayed on the interface.

Continue to execute the following commands to modify the computer
name saved in the database:
sp_dropserver @server='SERVER_1', @droplogins=NULL
go
sp_addserver @server='SERVER_2', @local='local',
@duplicate_ok= 'duplicate_OK'
go
exit

The commands above first delete the old computer name

6-1
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

SERVER_1 and then add a new one SERVER_2.

After the modification above, you must restart the SQL Server
service in the Windows Service Manager to restore the database.

During the iMC Installation, "MS SQLServer Is not

Installed Correctly, MSSOLSERVER Service Does
not Exist" Is Displayed. What Shall I Do?
MSSQLSERVER is the default instance name of the Microsoft SQL
Server used by iMC to connect with the SQL Server database. The
default instance name needs to be selected when you install the
database. For detailed configurations, refer to the configuration of
the Instance Name dialogue box in Making Configuration During
Installation. After creating a database, you cannot change its name. If
you did not select Default Instance in the Instance Name dialogue
box, you need to re-install the database. For the procedure of
uninstalling the database, refer to Uninstalling SQL Server Database.

During the iMC Installation, "Database Service

MSSQLSERVER Is not Configured to Be Started
with LocalSystem" Is Displayed. What Shall I Do?
During the installation, iMC needs to create its own database file. If
the MSSQLSERVER service is not configured to run as the
LocalSystem user, iMC will fail to be installed because of the disc
access restriction. To solve the problem, do as follows:
Select Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 >
Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager as
shown in Figure 6-1.

Configuration Manager window. After that, configurations take
effect.

During the iMC installation, "The ADO1.5

Component Is not Found in Current System" Is
Displayed. What Shall I Do?
iMC uses ADO 1.5 to connect the database. ADO 1.5 is provided by
the operating system. This error indicates that ADO 1.5 is corrupted.
To solve the problem, you can re-install ADO.

6-4
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

During the iMC Installation, "Provider Cannot Be

Found" Is Displayed. What Shall I Do?
This error indicates that MDAC is not installed on the server or that
your MDAC installation is corrupted. MDAC corruption usually occurs
when some application programs erroneously attempt to install a
partial version of MDAC. To solve the problem, you can re-install
MDAC. You can download the installation program mdac_typ.exe
from Microsoft's website. If MDAC installation fails, you can do as
follows:
1) In Windows Explorer, open the C:\WINDOWS\inf folder. Note
that the folder may be hidden.
2) Right-click the mdac.inf file in the folder and choose Install.
During the installation, multiple files need to be located. You can
select each file from Service Pack CD-ROM, or from the current
operating system.
z If you want to select files from Service Pack CD-ROM, locate the
i386 directory from the CD-ROM drive. For example, if the
CD-ROM drive is D:, you need to select the D:\i386 directory.
z If you want to select files from the current operating system, click
Browse to select files. Select a file and click Retry.
3) MDAC is installed successfully if no error is displayed after you
complete the installation.
Files to be located during the installation and their locations are as
follows:
z File name: adcjavas.inc
z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\msadc

z File name: adojavas.inc

z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado

6-5
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

z File name: msdadc.dll

z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ole db

z File name: dao360.dll

z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\dao

z File name: handler.reg

z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\msadc

z File name: oledbjvs.inc

z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ole db

z File name: MDACRdMe.htm

z Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado. If you
cannot find the MDACRdMe.htm, change the name of the file
MDACReadme.htm to MDACRdMe.htm.
After the installation, you need to reboot the operating system. If the
problem is not solved, you can use the MDAC Component Checker
provided by Microsoft to locate MDAC installation problems.
Download a free MDAC Component Checker, cc_pkg.exe from the
Microsoft website, decompress it to the C:\ComponentChecker
directory, click on the first radio button in the window as shown in
Figure 6-4, and click OK.

6-6
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

Figure 6-4 Component Checker window

After a short time analysis, useful information is displayed, as shown

in Figure 6-5. Pay attention to the information about MISMATCH
under File Details. The MISMATCH information indicates the
potential problems of the MDAC installation.
Figure 6-5 Information about MISMATCH under File Details

6-7
 SQL Server 2005 Installation and Configuration Guide

Click MISMATCH and view files in the right window. These file
versions are different from the MDAC version. The Mismatch Field
column displays expected file versions. The File Version column
displays actual file versions.
When version mismatch cannot be solved through MDAC installation,
you need to copy files to the corresponding directories. Locate the
mdacxpak.cab file from the depressed path of MDAC_TYPE.exe
and use WinZip to decompress the mdacxpak.cab file. The file
contains most of the important MDAC files. Copy the depressed files
to corresponding paths shown in MISMATCH. Reboot the operating
system.
If you still cannot solve the problem, you are recommended to
re-install your operating system and databases, or contact the
technical support department.

6.6 In the iMC installation procedure, the system

prompts “Failed to run bcp.exe, Datatbase tools
not installed or Windows not restarted after MS
SQLServer installed”. How to solve this problem?
When you select to use a remote database server, a server which the
business components are not on, iMC needs to use a tool such as
bcp.exe to access the database. You should manually install
Connectivity Components client tools on the iMC server. For the
detailed installation procedures, refer to the Feature Selection
dialog box in Figure 2-6 or Figure 2-7. Additionally, after installing the
Connectivity Components, you should restart the Windows to make
the client software bcp.exe take effect.
