1.Select Server Installation and click [Next].

NOTE: The install may require one or more restarts of the computer from which the install is performed.

2.You must now choose where you want the PMXpert application files to be installed on the server.  This folder must be accessible to all users running PMXpert.  Make your selection and click [Next] to continue.

3.The setup program now has all the information it needs to begin the installation of PMXpert.  Verify that the installation folder is correct and click [Next] to begin the installation.

4.Once all files have been copied to the server, the setup program will prompt for the SQL Server Options.  You must provide the following information to allow the setup program to create all the required MS-SQL databases on your MS-SQL Server:

a.SQL Server: This is the name or IP of the MS-SQL server where you want to create the PMXpert databases.

b.Admin Username: This must be an administrator account on the MS-SQL server.

c.Password: This is the password of the administrator account.

d.Database: This is the name you want to give the PMXpert database on the MS-SQL server.  

5.Three other databases will be created on the server: PMXpertSystem, PMXpertReports and PMXpertSample.  

a.The PMXpertSample database contains sample data that can be used for testing the operation of the software prior to entering your live data.  This database can be deleted if it is not required.  

b.The PMXpertSystem and PMXpertReports must not be deleted or renamed.

6.Once this data has been entered, click [OK] to continue.

7.The setup program will perform a connection test to the MS-SQL server specified and ensure that the username and password are valid.  It will also ensure that the username is a valid system administrator account.  If this test fails, you will have to re-enter the information and try again.

8.If the test succeeds, the setup program will proceed with the creation of all required databases.

9.PMXpert Enterprise allows logging in to the MS-SQL server database using Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication.

a.Individual user accounts can be granted READ/WRITE access to the databases.

b.The simplest method is a Windows Authentication, whereby you can grant a Windows group containing all PMXpert users READ/WRITE access to the databases.

c.This makes login to PMXpert simpler, as the user does not have to enter any SQL server login information.

10.Once installation is complete, click [Finish] and you are ready to install to the workstations.

1.Re-run the setup program, but select the Workstation Installation option this time.  Click [Next] to continue.

2.You must now choose where you want the local (workstation) PMXpert files to be installed.  It will default to C:\Program Files\PMXpert.  

3.In addition, you must specify the location of the PMXpert application files on the server so that the local PMXpert loader application knows where to get the required application files.  

4.Make your selections and click [Next] to continue.

5.The setup program now has all the information it needs to complete the workstation installation of PMXpert.  Verify that the installation folders are correct and click [Next] to begin the installation.

6.Once this is complete, click [Finish].

7.You can now perform the workstation installation on all other workstations as required.
