  2. Select the server corresponding to your team login.
  3. Select New Query from the toolbar.
  4. Enter the following command in the Query Tab:

    select @@version

  5. Select Execute from the toolbar and if you see information similar to:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Oct 14 2005 00:33:37
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

Your connection is good.

 

Connect Team To Your SQL Database and Upload Your Data

 

To connect Team to your SQL Database:

  1. Select TEAM Database Utility from the Alexsys Team Program Group or run TeamAdm.exe in the Alexsys Team server directory to open the Alexsys Team Database Utility.
  2. Login using the Team ADMIN User ID and password.
  3. Select the SQL Setup category.
  4. Select the Server Type (i.e. Microsoft SQL via ADO).
  5. Enter the Host Name.
  6. Enter the Server Name.
  7. Enter the User Name.
  8. Enter the Password.
  9. Select the Connect button.
  10. Once connected, select Upload to SQL to upload your existing standard Team database to your SQL database.
  11. Once uploaded, select Close to close the Alexsys Team Database Utility.

Tip: You must be running with the Standard database as the active database in order to upload your database to SQL. You do not want to make SQL your active database at this time.

 

Test Your Connection to SQL

 

Once you have uploaded your SQL database using the SQL Setup Utility, you can perform another test using Team without forcing all users to run SQL:

  1. Alter the  Team shortcut on your desktop by adding an /SQL parameter to the Target in the shortcut properties.  (i.e. "C:\Program Files\Alexsys\Team\Team.exe" /SQL)
  2. Start Team.
  3. Verify that Team is accessing the SQL database by selecting Help | System Information from the TeamView menu and selecting the Database Tab. You should see information for the SQL server you are accessing, similar to the figure below.

    4.  

    System Information - Database Tab - SQL Information Displayed

 

Make SQL the Active Database

 

Once your database has been uploaded to your SQL database and you have tested your connection to your SQL database using Team Pro, you can make SQL the active database to force all users to use Team Pro.

 

To make SQL the active database:

  1. Select TEAM Database Utility from the Alexsys Team Program Group or run TeamAdm.exe in the Alexsys Team server directory to open the Alexsys Team Database Utility.
  2. Login using the Team ADMIN User ID and password.
  3. Select the SQL Setup category.
  4. Connect to the SQL database by selecting the Connect button.
  5. Once connected, select SQL as the Active Database.
  6. Select Close to close the Alexsys Team Database Utility.
  7. Since SQL is now the active database, you can remove the /SQL argument from any Team shortcuts.
