Data Installation

1. Make sure you are logged onto Windows as an administrator.

2. Run the Velocity_Installer_3.8.4(build-3.8.4.xxx).exe file for the Velocity installation:

   • If you have a Velocity 3.8.4 installation DVD, insert it into your DVD drive, and the auto-start feature should automatically start the Velocity Installer.

   • If you downloaded the file to install Velocity 3.8.4, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder containing the file, and double-click on Velocity_Installer_3.8.4(build-3.8.4.xxx).exe.

3. After the Velocity Installer’s Welcome (or splash) screen appears, click Next.

4. On the resulting End-User License Agreement page, select the “I agree to the terms in the License Agreement” option to continue or “I do not accept the License Agreement” to exit setup. If you would like to print the EULA press the Print button when finished click Next.

5. At the Install Options screen, select the Data option, then click Next.

   

6. At the resulting Welcome page of the Attach Database wizard, click Next.
   The Attach Database wizard is tightly integrated with the Velocity Installer, so its pages appear within the Velocity Installer window.

7. Select the I Agree... option, then click Next in the End User License Agreement page of the Attach Database wizard.

8. Click Next in the System Inspection screen.

9. At the resulting SQL Server Options screen, select the existing SQL Server instance that you will use to manage the Velocity database, then click Next.

   

10. At the resulting Application Network and Security screen, the Velocity Installer detects whether this computer is a member of an Active Directory domain or is a local server, and selects the correct authentication option:

    

    • If the Local machine accounts option is selected, go to Step 11.

    • If the Active Directory option is selected, select the Domain or Organization Unit (OU) whose accounts Velocity can use.

    • You can select the Advanced Authentication option to designate that instead of using Velocity’s default user groups and user names for authentication, you will be using custom ones. (Some government agencies are required to do this, as an additional security measure.) Before selecting this option, be sure to read the “Custom Active Directory User and Group Names Setup” section of the Velocity Installation Guide.

11. Enter a password in the first 'Password' field and confirm it in the first 'Confirm' field.

12. Unless you require a different SQL Server password, accept the [Default] password in the second 'Password' and 'Confirm' fields.
    If you change this password, all Velocity clients connecting to this server will be prompted for the password to access the Velocity database.

13. The Velocity Installer detects whether this computer has multiple network interface cards:

    • If there is only one network interface card, go to Step 14.

    • If there are multiple network interface cards, select the network you will use from the 'Device Network' drop-down list.

14. Click Next.

15. When the Prerequisite Gathering Complete screen appears, review the displayed information about the various program components that either will be installed or are already installed, then click Next.
    

    

16. If necessary, the Installing Prerequisites screen appears, and the installation of the required database software proceeds. Follow the onscreen prompts.

17. After all the prerequisites are installed, the Installation Complete screen appears like in this example:

    

18. Click Close.
    The Velocity Data server installation is now complete, so you can proceed to install the Velocity Server and then install the Velocity clients.

Note: Make sure that the SQL Server Browser Service is running on the SQL Database Server, so the Velocity Server and Velocity Client installations can locate the separate database server.
