Start FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Database Update Utility

FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
 Database Update Utility is automatically installed along with
FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
 when you install
FactoryTalk View SE
.
To start
FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
 Database Update Utility
  1. Select
    Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Alarms and Events > FTAE Database Update Utility
    .
  2. In the
    Connect to Server
     dialog box, enter the following information:
    • Server name
      The name of the
      Microsoft
      SQL Server
       instance. It must be the name of a server on the network, an IP address, or the name of the
      SQL Server
       Configuration Manger alias.
    • User name
      A valid
      SQL Server
       account.
      TIP:
      Make sure to log on with an existing database user name that associated with the database whose tables you want to merge.
    • Password
      The password of the account.
  3. (optional) Configure sign-in options.
    Encrypt connection
    Forces encryption of the connection.
    Trust server certificate
    • If
      Encrypt connection
       is selected:
      • When
        Trust server certificate
         is cleared, the HMI server or alarms and events server starts the certificate handshake process to validate the certificate on the SQL Server computer. If the certificate is not present or if the validation of the certificate fails, the connection is closed.
        Important
        : In cases where the
        Trust server certificate
         setting is cleared, if SQL Server is used for FactoryTalk View SE data grids, you must configure the certificate for the HMI server. If SQL Server is used for alarms and events, you must configure the certificate for the alarms and events server.
         For more information, see Configure the certificate for encrypted connection to the database.
      • When
        Trust server certificate
         is selected, the HMI server or alarms and events server does not validate the certificate on the SQL Server computer.
    • If
      Encrypt connection
       is cleared, the
      Trust server certificate
       setting is ignored.
