Adding an SQL Server

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

  1. Quit Engineering Base.

  2. Start Registry Editor.

  3. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AUCOTEC\Engineering Base\<EB version>\Server\Database.

  4. Double click ServerNameList.

  5. 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.
