Gathering Information about the Site Database

To integrate Vector Inventory with Vector HelpDesk, you need the following information:

    The details of the database used by the Vector Site:

    For a Microsoft Access database, you need the name and location of the Microsoft Access .mdb file

    For a SQL Server or MSDE database, you need the names of the server and the database (the name of server is usually the name of the computer on which SQL Server/MSDE is installed).

    The details of a user account that can be used to log on to the Site database?

To use the Vector Asset Management Console to check the database type, name, and location:

1    In the Console tree, expand the site, and then click Site Management.

2    In the Details area, click Database and Licensing.

The Database Location box specifies the type, name, and location of the database. For example:

ACCESS MySiteDB \\server\share\MySiteDB.mdb

-or-

SQL SERVER MySite MySQLServer MySiteDB

To use the Vector Asset Management Console to check the logon information:

1    In the Console tree, click Enterprise Management.

2    In the right pane, click Logon Information.
