Verifying the XMS’s database settings
Verifying the SQL Server database settings
The Vertigo Suite uses a Microsoft SQL Server database to store and manage asset details,
categories, work order processing data, publish processing data, and other relational
information and data. The following instructions describe how to verify the MS SQL S
ERVER
SETTINGS on the Xmedia Server Control Panel’s Database page (figure 5-1 )
Figure 5-1. The MS SQL Server settings
To verify the MS SQL Server settings:
1.
Select the D ATABASE tab on the Xmedia Server Control Panel.
2. Verify that MS SQL S ERVER is displayed in the D ATABASE T YPE field.
3. Click the T EST C ONNECTION button to verify the connection to the database.
The connection test validates the current MS SQL SETTINGS values. If the T EST
DATABASE CONNECTION pop-up window reports a successful connection (figure 5-2 ),
this indicates that all of the current settings are valid and you do not need to continue
the verification procedure.
If the T
EST DATABASE CONNECTION pop-up window reports a failed connection (figure 5-2 ),
the current MS SQL S ERVER SETTINGS are invalid and you must continue with this
procedure to verify these settings.
Figure 5-2. Testing the database connection is a quick way to verify the validity of the SQL Server settings
4. Verify that the S ERVER N AME and the D ATABASE NAME fields are accurate on the
Xmedia Server Control Panel’s Database settings page.
