Database Installation Utility Procedures
Attach an SQL Server Desktop Engine Database
Run the Database Installation Utility by doing the following:
1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the B.A.S.I.S. installation directory
(C:\Program Files\B.A.S.I.S. by default), and then double-click on the
DatabaseInstallationUtility.exe file to run it.
2. The Database Installation Utility window is displayed. When the Database
Installation Utility opens, it attempts to connect to the database for the DSN
that is currently specified in the [Database] section in the ACS.INI file. For
example, if the following is specified in the [Database] section:
Connect=“ODBC;DSN=Lenel”
then the Database Installation Utility will attempt to connect to the database
associated with the Lenel DSN.
• If the database connection succeeds, the [Connect] button is grayed out.
Proceed to step 3.
• If the database connection fails, an error message that says, “The DSN
selected in your ACS.INI is invalid. Please check your ODBC
configuration.” is displayed and the [Connect] button is enabled. If this
message is displayed, open the ACS.INI file and specify the correct
DSN, save and close the ACS.INI file, and click the [Connect] button.
