Setting Up SQL Server Express


The following G/Technology products require SQL Server Express (unless the full version of SQL Server is
used instead):
n MobileViewer — Disconnected field users use SQL Server for the subset database.
n MobileViewer Publish Subset — SQL Server is used to create the regional subset databases of feature
attributes and connectivity data that MobileViewer uses in the field.
n NetViewer Server — (unless Oracle is used as the NetViewer Server Web Client Context database) SQL
Server can be used to hold user-specific context information (known as the Web Client Context Database).
SQL Server Express database size limit
The database size limit for SQL Server 2012 SP3, SQL Server 2014, and SQL Server 2016 is 10GB (excluding
log files).

To install SQL Server Express:


1. From the Microsoft® site, select the appropriate SQL Server Express version. If you do not have the
appropriate prerequisites installed, a message to install the missing software and restart the installation
appears. See the G/Technology Supported Environments for more information.

For Publish Subset or SetSubsetRoles.exe, you need to load SQL Server Management Studio.
2. On the SQL Server Installation Center screen, click New installation or add features to an existing
installation.
3. Click Next.
4. Accept the license terms.
5. Click Next.
6. On the Feature Selection screen, check the Database Engine Services feature only. If other boxes are
checked, clear them.
7. Click Next.
8. On the Instance Configuration screen, review the instance name, and change it if necessary.
9. Click Next.

On the Server Configuration screen, review the credentials that are used for the created services. For
the SQL Server Database Engine service, select NT Service\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS from the Account
Name column drop-down list. See the example below:

10. On the Database Engine Configuration screen, do the following:


n Select Mixed Mode (SQL Server authentication and Windows authentication).
n Type a strong password and confirm it in the Specify the password for the SQL Server system
administrator (sa) account fields. For Publish Subset, the sa password cannot contain a semicolon (;).

access to the database engine. Add or remove administrators as needed.

11. Click Next.

13. Click Next.
14. Click Close on the Complete screen.

After completing installation, check the SQL Server Service to verify that the SQL Server service is set to Log
on as Local System account.

Database Upgrade
If you attach a database created from an older supported version of SQL Server Express (for example, a
MobileViewer subset or NetViewer Web Client Context database) it is automatically upgraded to the version on
the machine.
