dlg_app_wiz_db_loc

Global Database Location Page Options

Item

Description

Local Machine

The default location is c:\users\public\WireCAD\WireCADx\WireCADGlobalEquipment.vdb3. You may rename the file in order to better organize your global data by client. See this topic on the Global Database Location.

Remote Network Storage

This is not recommended but is possible. Why do we do this? Well we hate to limit you. Here are the ramifications of using file based storage over a network:

•	The file is not network fault tolerant like SQL Server.

•	Data can become locked and in some cases corrupt.

•	You may find yourself having to Pack (compact and repair) the database if you get locked out of it.

SQL Server

This is the best option for shared storage, but you lose portability.

dlg_app_wiz_db_wc_security

Explanation

WireCAD Security is used to resrict user access to key application sections and functions. If enabled, the user launching WireCAD will be subject to the rules of the group to which they belong. The user that initiates WireCAD security will be the only Administrator and will need to assign all other user permissions. This is managed through the Manage Security dialog.

Use WireCAD Security Setting Page Options

Item	Description

Database Type	VISTADB - while you can use VISTADB as the security database it is only application to this machine. SQL - we will create the permissions database on your SQL Server using the SQL host and login information.

dlg_app_wiz_db_previous_version

Explanation

We found a WireCAD previous version. In order to use the work that you have already done you will need to synchronize with the previous version Global Database. There are many variables that can be configured to locate the Global Database elsewhere. When you finish the Application Setup Wizard restart WireCAD then launch the Database >Sync Global Database tool and set the remote database to look at your previous instance.
