By default, the Open Database dialog only offers the SQL Server that is installed on the computer with the Engineering Base Application Server. You can manually add SQL-Servers from remote computers. However, since this increases network traffic unnecessarily, we do not recommend doing this in a larger network.
To add a SQL Server
Quit Engineering Base.
Start Registry Editor.
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AUCOTEC\Engineering Base\<EB version>\Server\Database.
Double click ServerNameList.
Add the remote SQL Server to the list.
You need administrator rights to change this registry setting.
If you have Engineering Base installed on a 32-Bit Windows system, the registry entries shown on this page may be displayed differently. Please read the details in the topic about system registration in 32-Bit Windows versions.
