Configuration Assistant

Navigation: Management Console / Utilities >

The configuration assistant is new to v2.93 and replaces the Database Setup Wizard while at the same time adding additional functionality. The utility will perform one or more of the following tasks, depending on the current configuration and install services:

•	Configure a new SMTP action if no SMTP action is current setup

•	Update all databases which are referenced through an action to the latest schema

•	Setup a new database, including action, if no database actions are currently configured

•	Setup and configure an individual database if launched from within the management console

•	Install & configure the heartbeat agent if requested and not already installed

•	Install & configure the network services if requested and not already installed

The configuration assistant is automatically launched after every installation / upgrade.

Prerequisites

The configuration assistant requires the following files to run:

•	es_config_assistant.exe

•	QtCore4.dll

•	QtGui4.dll

•	QtXml4.dll

•	schema.xml

If the VC runtime is not installed, then you will need to run vcredist_x86.exe which is located in the "resources" sub directory of the main installation directory. The EventSentry installer automatically installs this runtime.

Command-Line Parameters

The utility supports a single command line parameter, "/initdb", which needs to be followed by the name of a database action. For example:

es_config_assistant.exe /initdb "Primary Database"

This will either initialize the database pointed to by the "Primary Database" action, or update the existing database to the latest schema.
