Install and Register DataSight Administrator

DataSight Administrator assists with the support of DataSight databases created on a Microsoft SQL Server instance. DataSight is a client/server application interfaced with Microsoft SQL Server that can be easily deployed by direct or remote methods.

Users and IT Administrators should refer to Server and User requirements to ensure that there is appropriate IT infrastructure to support the installation of DataSight. In most cases, Microsoft SQL Server is installed on a server farm that is supported by the appropriate IT infrastructure in a controlled environment. The servers are supported by suitably qualified IT professionals who should maintain strict policies that ensure disaster recovery and redundancy in the system.

 

Prior to the installation of DataSight Administrator:

  • Consult with your IT administrator to determine the server details and a suitable database location.
  • Ensure Microsoft SQL Server is installed on the computer/server (or accessible on the network).
  • A username and password with administrative rights on the Microsoft SQL Server must be available. This administrative user can then create DataSight databases and users, set permissions etc. These privileges can also be extended to a Windows user account with administrative rights on the Microsoft SQL Server (Refer to Modes of User Authentication).
