Creating Software Manager Databases

Wise Package Studio Getting Started Guide
To change database settings
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Symantec > Wise Package Studio >
Wise Repository Manager.
2. In the Wise Repository Manager, in the left pane, click a database name (in bold
type).
3. Click Settings in the lower right of the right pane.
The Change Database Settings wizard starts.
4. Complete the following dialog boxes:
Database Administrator Logon Information dialog box
Database Service Logon Information dialog box
See Repository Configuration Dialog Boxes
Not available in Standard Edition.
If you plan to import a large number of packages, you might use multiple Software
Manager databases to reduce the size of the individual databases. Use the Wise
Repository Manager to create Software Manager databases.
The ability to create a database is unavailable for the Workbench and Wise Services
databases because a repository can contain only one of each of those databases.
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with creating databases and registering
ODBC data sources. We do not offer technical support for SQL Server or SQL Server
Express. If you need help, ask your database administrator.
To create a Software Manager database
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Symantec > Wise Package Studio >
Wise Repository Manager.
2. In the Wise Repository Manager, in the left pane, right-click the Software Manager
icon and select Create New Database.
The Create New Database wizard starts.
3. Complete the following dialog boxes:
Database Identification dialog box
Database Administrator Logon Information dialog box
Creation Options dialog box
See Repository Configuration Dialog Boxes
4. To make this the default Software Manager database, right-click the database name
in the left pane and select Set as Default. The default database name is displayed in
bold type.
To provide an additional level of security, your database administrator can set
permissions on tables in the new Software Manager database. This is not required, but is
an option if you are concerned about unauthorized users changing database tables
outside Wise Package Studio. For recommendations, see Setting Database Security in
the Wise Package Studio Help.
