The DcnmDatabaseConsole tool also uses the environment variables to create the database.
So, after setting the environment variables and opening the console window, the remote
database is created using "DcnmDatabaseConsole -n"
Note: When using the DcnmDatabaseConsole.exe the user credentials must have the rights
required to create the database.
The environment variables can be overruled by passing arguments to the
DcnmDatabaseConsole.exe (For help on the command-line syntax and the available options,
