RPS
NOTICE!
Networking protocols are disabled by default in SQL Server Express. If someone simply
installs SQL Server Express and chooses all the defaults, SQL Server Express can only have
connections originating on the local machine where SQL Server is installed.
To enable SQL Server Express to accept remote connections, configure SQL Server Express to
listen on TCP/IP:

Using a Networked Drive to Store Database Files
Use the following to ensure that all your workstations operate correctly with RPS if you are
using a networked drive to store your database files:

Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Launch the SQL Server Configuration Manager from the Microsoft SQL Server 2005
program menu.
Click the Protocols for SQLEXPRESS node.
Right-click on TCP/IP in the list of protocols, then select Enable.
In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, click the SQL Server 2005 Services node.
Right-click on SQL Server Browser and select Properties.
Click the Start button to start the SQL Server Browser.
Select the Service tab, and set Sart Mode to Automatic.
Refresh any List view they are using to see changes that are being made by other
workstations in the network.
Back up the network drive's database files frequently so that possible errors made by
other users, or hardware problems on the network can be easily corrected.
Two users cannot create accounts with the same name. If a user creates an account
named "Big Mall Store," for example, and saves it to the Panel List, a second user trying
to create an account with this same name will get an error message. The user must
choose a different account name to correct this problem.
Only one user at a time may make changes to an account once it is created. However, a
user with an authority level of 15 can overwrite changes being made by a user with a
lower authority level. Ensure that no other operators are using the account at the same
time. An account that is already in use by another operator generates a "Panel Already
Open" message.
The Panel Already Open window has three option buttons:
–
Yes: Click Yes to try to override the lock and save changes made by the operator
who currently has the account open.
–
No: Click No to try to override the lock and ignore changes made by the operator
who currently has the account open.
–
Cancel: Click Cancel to close the Panel Already Open dialog without attempting to
override a locked account. The account opens in View Only mode.
If you wish to override the locked account by clicking Yes or No, a progress indicator
appears while RPS attempts to override the locked account.
–
If the lock override succeeds, a message appears telling the operator with the
account currently open that the account was taken over. The account is then put into
View Only mode. Only the operator who initiated the lock override can modify the
account from this point on.
–
If the lock override fails, a different dialog appears indicating the failure.
