Upload Your Existing Team Database to SQL

 

When you are ready to run Team using your SQL database, you must connect Team to the SQL server and upload your database to SQL. Once this is done and you do one final test to check your connection to SQL using Team, you can force all users to run Team Pro by switching the active database to SQL.

 

To connect to the SQL database and upload your existing data:

  1. Select Admin | Database Utility from the TeamView or Work Request menus or start TEAM Database Utility from the Alexsys Team Program Group to open the Alexsys Team Database Utility. Remember to log off of Team after you open the Database Utility.
  2. Select the SQL Setup category from the Alexsys Team Database Utility window.
  3. Select the Connect button.
  4. Once connected, select the Upload to SQL button to upload your existing standard Team database to your SQL database.
      
    5. 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.

      

  5. Once uploaded, select Cancel to close the Alexsys Team Database Utility.

 

Test Your Connection to Team Pro

 

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 (see figure below). You should see information for the SQL server you are accessing.

    4.

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 Admin | Database Utility from the TeamView or Work Request menus or start TEAM Database Utility from the Alexsys Team Program Group to open the Alexsys Team Database Utility.  Remember to log off of Team after you open the Database Utility.
  2. Select the SQL Setup category from the Alexsys Team Database Utility window.
  3. Connect to the SQL database by selecting the Connect button.
  4. Once connected, select SQL as the Active Database (see figure below).
