Commandline: showappsettings
This wizard runs once at the start of WireCAD. You can always run it again to change the settings, but most of the settings in the wizard are contained in the Settings dialog.
•Navigate Forward, Navigate Backward
•Show This Again - Show this dialog again.
•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.
•Path to Shared Global Database - Show if the first selection is Remote Network Storage. Enter the Path to the WireCADGlobalEquipment.vdb3
Show only if the initial selection is SQL Server.
•Create stand-alone database - Use this option if you are installing on an internal network.
•Use existing database. Create global db using schema name. - Use this option if you are installing on a SQL Azure database. The schema name is use to separate different data structures on the same database.
•Host - The hostname\instance name or IP address\instance name.
•Global Database Name - Either the name of the existing global database or the name of the SQL Azure database on which we will create our global database schema.
•Schema Name - Name this something like WireCADGlobalData.
•Use Windows Security - Not available on SQL Azure.
•User Name, Password -
•Test - See if we can connect.
Shown only if the SQL Server Option is selected.
•Add default global data - Create the database on the host and add the selected default data.
•Create empty database - Create the database on the host with no data.
•Create Database and Add Data - Do it!
•Yes I want to contribute
•Yes but wait until I check the Approved field
•No Thanks - You can still manually upload from the Equipment Library in this mode.
WireCAD Security is used to restrict 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 Security -
•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.
Create SQL Permissions Database - Do It!
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.
