Drew, I'll let you reference the docs provided by other people, but I'll address your questions regarding the DB/Installer
During the install, it should ask you for a DB Server, DB, User, and Password. The defaults for DB, User, Password are ARSystem/ARAdmin/AR#Admin# respectively. If you provide a different value to any of these items, it will try to use it. If however, the installer isn't able to connect to the server in question, to the DB in question, with the ID/PW provided, it will request the SA PW so that it can go in and create what it needs. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Drew Shuller Sent: Monday, October 22, 2012 10:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ARS 8.0 Documentation ** Good morning ARS Listers. I take it that the ARS Server documentation format has changed from pdf files to html. Or are pdf files still available? I'm asking because the html documentation for installing the ARS Server is a bit light, and it's referencing the install spreadsheet, which doesn't seem to be matched up with the installer panels that I'm seeing. The information there is a bit light as well. We're getting hung up on the database panels. Is the installer creating the ARSystem user, called ARAdmin, or am I supposed to create that user beforehand? Furthermore, is there a way to specify that I may have created the ARSystem database beforehand? How would the installer know I've done that? We're also having problems where the installer doesn't seem to recognize anything but the default instance, and only then when the instance name is not included. Anything else, and the installer says that that database is not recognized.
