Multi Database
244
To Set a Multi Db for View
1. Start View.
2. Set the database. Either:
• The PC can only run View. Select the database engine and type or browse for the
name of the database file. For SQL Server or MSDE databases, indicate the
server and database.
• The PC can run Admin or View. View’s Log On window automatically displays the
database selected to run Admin.
3. Leave a checkmark in the checkbox next to The Central database is accessible from this
PC. You should uncheck this box after one successful logon only if a PC is stand alone
or mobile. Leave or type your user account name in the User ID box.
4. Type your password in the Password box.
5. Click OK.
For routine use of View
Unless another Multi db is set, View continues to use the same Multi db, every time that someone
logs on.
Tip
For PCs running Admin and View, View’s Log On window automatically displays the
database selected using Admin.
The User ID and Password are authenticated once in the Multi db; afterwards, the local database
is used.
Local Multi database
The local db contains a subset of the Central db data: the information for sites that the user is
authorized to use.
Refreshing a Local Database
Purpose
If changes are made to the Central Multi database, and it is accessible from the PC running View,
the local database is refreshed automatically when you login to View. Security and site information
is updated.
The local database can be refreshed by View Operators, at the request of a Multi SA, for:
• PCs that run View 24/7
- or -
• PCs that are stand-alone and only occasionally connected to a Multi Central database.
