FastStats system SQL databases
Note: The Q2 2015 release introduced a Database Update Wizard process for use in systems where both the WebService & FastStats Service configurations are stored in a configuration database (typically named ‘FS_Config’). The following steps assume this is the case.
To update any FastStats System SQL databases:
-
Launch the FastStats Configurator running on the FastStats Server, then click Database Management.
-
Select the Database Update Wizard, then click Start Wizard.
The Update Database Wizard opens.
-
Click Edit and define a connection string to connect to your Configuration database (usually named ‘FS_Config’).
Note: If you are using a SQL Server Express edition, you probably need “\SQLEXPRESS” on the SQL Server name. The default ‘faststats_service’ account typically used for the FastStats Service and FastStats Web Service is not sufficient for this as the script includes system level changes (e.g. to alter database recovery settings).
-
Click Browse.
-
Highlight the configuration you wish to update, then click OK.
This returns you to the Update Database Wizard.
-
Click Next.
-
Select the database(s) to update, then click Next.
-
Click Run Scripts.
Note: Clicking View Notes gives you the ability to copy the script to view its contents. Each Update Database script is then run, with a progress bar showing completion status. A View Log button becomes available for each script as it is run.
-
If errors have occurred, then this is reported in the same column as ‘Complete’ and ‘Running’ in the screenshot below.
Important: Use the Restart button to restart the wizard for each configuration you have defined in your configuration database.
-
Click Finish when you have updated each configuration you have defined in the configuration database.
