Software Deployment

Do you have Enterprise or Professional licensing? If you have Enterprise, you need to create a "Managed" application catalog. If you have Professional you create a "Stand-Alone" catalog.

As far as I know, you have to use Access, Oracle or SQL (7, 2000 or 2005). I don't think they support MySQL. You could always use SQL 2005 Express. It's free. I haven't tried it, but it's supposed to work according to Installshield.

Hey turbokitty,

Thanks for the insite I'll try that today. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi turbokitty,

Well after a irritating [:@] 2 days of trying to install MS SQL 2005 Express, here’s what I found.

First you need to upgrade your .NET from 1.1 to .NET 2.0 then you need to install SP2. On my corporate XP sp1 pc (were also a Novell environment) that had deleted directories (like Outlook express) and locked registry entries I was not able to install SP2 while loged in as Admin. These are dependencies for MS SQL 2005 Express. I am now going to build a XP image from scratch to try to get a ConflictSolver pc up and running. Also I was able to installed .NET 2.0 and SP2 on my MS only VMware (5.0) but after reboot it locks up [&o].

Do you or anyone else know how [:(] to get a Conflict Solver from FLEXnet AdminStudio 7.5= I.S. 11.5 PC up and running with free database and drivers?

Ouch, sorry to hear that Trooper23!

I should have been more clear, my apologies. Your requirements for SQL2005 Express are correct (also keep in mind that SQL2005 Express only supports one processor and 1 GB of memory). There are requirements for the Application Database as well beyond SQL2005's requirements.

IS says you need a server O/S:
http://www.macrovision.com/products/flexnet_adminstudio/adminstudio/resources/tech_specs.shtml

I think if you want a supported setup, you'll need to use SQL 2005 Express or some other such free version of the either SQL, Oracle or Access on Windows 2000 or 2003 Server. You'll also need a big hard drive in the box if you're going to package a lot of applications as the databse gets big pretty quickly.

Hi turbokitty,

OK well I've made some progress. [:)] I created a MS 2003 server, added SP1, .Net 2.0, the SSEUtil (drivers), SQLEXPRE.exe and SQLExpAdm (pack). I created the accounts on the server and within the SQL Ser Mang Studio .msc. Was able to connect from my XP box to the sql server BUT. 1st I was not able to create the DB and 2nd populate it from IS the scripts. [:@]

Now I followed this link from IS to create the DB to no avil.

http://helpnet.installshield.com/Robo/BIN/Robo.dll?mgr=agm&tpc=%2Frobo%2Fprojects%2Fadminstudio60%2FASConceptSQLDBPermissions.htm&wnd=InstallShieldLivingHelp%7CMain&agt=wsm&ctxid=kb%2Fview.asp

Here's from the log.


Do you have any other ideas?

thanks,
Rob

Execution of AS_Schema.SQL complete

Sounds like you're getting closer.

What version of AdminStudio are you running, 6 or 7? Any "Value Packs"?

Do you have Enterprise or Professional licensing for AdminStudio?

This is SQL 2005 Express correct? Just checking.

Was it a clean DB when you ran the script?

Hi Trooper,
I tried this out myself to see if it could be done.
- Built a VMWare session with Windows 2003 STD SP1
- Installed .net 2.0
- Installed SQL2005 Express
- Installed SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP (SSMSECTP)
- Enabled remote connections: LINK
- Opened SSMSECTP and created a DB called "AdminStudio"
- Ran AS_SCHEMA.SQL from SSMSECTP with no errors

Here's where the instructions that IS gave us seem wrong.

- Tried to conenct to the database with AdminStudio (Open AdminStudio main GUI and click Catalog > Connect

It fails with an error "Not a recognized application catalog" or something.

- I then tried to create a new Application Catalog with the AdminStudio GUI by clicking Catalog > New
- Forces me to pick "Stand alone Server" (which is what I want as I don't have WorkFlow Manager - Enterprise licensing)
- Filled in the SQLServer as "computername\SQLEXPRESS"
- Used sa/password (not Windows Authentication)
- Called the catalog "AdminStudio".
- The GUI then runs AS_SYSTEM_SCHEMA.sql

How odd. It says in HelpNet that this script is the second one to be run after AS_SCHEMA.SQL and only if you DO have WorkFlow Manager.

So it seems that you're running the wrong script and HelpNet is wrong. Try running AS_SYSTEM_SCHEMA.sql and see where that gets you.

I can connect to the new catalog no problem. Although it's empty of course and it doesn't let you import the Access database that comes with the product.

Hi turobkitty,

Thank you for trying this yourselves and sticking with me. [:)] I apologize for not getting back to last week (other fires to put out). I too was finally able to get this darn ConflictSolver DB up and running. [:D]

Here’s the skinny;

Installed;
MS Sever 2003
Sever SP1
Go into ARP – add IIS
Windows Installer 3
.Net 2.0
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition - SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE, 240 megs ***Must use SQL Server Authentication***
FlexNet AdminStudio 7.5

On the server, I then fired up FlexNet > ConflictSolver > Create > Create Standalone Catalog> Logged into server. Gave the DB a name and off it went.

The dialog said;
Creating the application catalog.
Executing SQL Script “AS_System_Schema”
SUCCESS! Finished creating the application catalog.

I then went to my XP box, logged in. I imported about 12 MSI’s, imported about 100+ Merge Modules. Then ran the Conflict Wizard.

I found I need to create a ODBC System DSN on my XP box or else I was not be able to run the Conflict Wizard. In the 7th dialog called Target Information, I could not select the group/groups and Next was not an option. When I added the ODBC System DSN back in then I could continue. [&:]

This new version of ConflictSolver still has the same general look but of course they changed it a bit.

Take care and happy resolving,
Rob

Good to hear you got it going. For the sake of completeness, I opened a trouble ticket with Macrovision to get them to fix that KB article.

Hi turbokitty,

Here is a email we received from Macrovision, it took three weeks for this reply. Not good!

Incident Description: "****,

As a result of my research, I have found that MySQL and AdminStudio don't seem to mesh well together. I tried to put some extra effort to see if i could get this to work, but I could not with a managed catalog. MySQL is, at this time, unsupported with AdminStudio and not expected to work correctly.

I apologise for any delays or inconvenience.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or information.

Thanks,

So there you have it IS and Mysql wont work even though there's documentation to support it does, how weak!!!
[&:]

Hmm.. well to be fair, I don't think it says anywhere that MySQL is supported. Just SQL, Oracle and Access. They should add SQL Express to that list now, as we've proven that it works!
