FTView SE V10 Alarming Issues

[MorphuisOGrady]

Hi there,

I've spent over a day now struggling with setting up an alarm and event server for FTView10. Poor documentation tells me they have moved to a localdb install of SQL Express.

I cannot install another instance of SQL express as it keeps giving me an error on SQL Native client 2012.

Is there anyway I can connect to this Localdb in FTView ?

- Create a new database
Definition: FTAE
Computername: xxx\MSSQLLOCALDB
Database Username: WindowsLogin
Database Password: Windows password
Databasename: Alarms_DB

A dialog box "SQL Server Log on" prompts me for a username and password which I key in my Windows Authentication and it fails.

How on earth do I log my alarms?

I don't have a direct answer, but the localdb is intended strictly for FT View to use.

I have in the past installed another instance of SQL Server Express without issue. I think that is the problem you need to troubleshoot.

Yes I accept that but I was hoping to use the localdb just for testing and install another SQL instance when deploying it on site.

Maybe it cant be done?

Rockwell recommends to not use that instance, but to install another one.
