Notes on Installing V-Modeler

When you first run Visio after installing the Quest software, the V-Modeler add-in prompts you to install some additional files. You must shut down Visio and restart it to complete this installation and be able to use V-Modeler.

When you try to use V-Modeler you are prompted to connect to the Evolve Repository. In order to do this you must enter the necessary connection details. We therefore recommend you acquire these details from your Evolve Suite administrator before trying to run the software.

Create a Connection To The Evolve Repository

This section is only relevant to users who want to connect to an existing networked Evolve Repository. If you are only using Evolve Suite with the stand-alone database, please go straight to What Next?

 

 To connect to the repository, you will need the connection details which the database administrator who created your repository should be able to provide.

 

To connect to your Evolve Repository:

          1. Start any program in Evolve Suite

The Evolve Suite Logon dialog opens

          2. Click Edit

The Database Connection dialog opens

          3. Click Add and select one of the following:

SQL Server

The Configure Database dialog opens

 

 If For this user is selected, the connection is only available for the specific Windows user who created it.

If For this computer is selected, the connection is available to anyone who uses the computer. We recommend using this option if you are creating the connection on Citrix/Terminal Server, or for Evolve use on the Evolve web server.

To see the For this computer option, you must run the application as administrator (right-click and Run as administrator) which can only be done from Windows Explorer, or the Program search results.

 

 

 

          4. Complete all fields in the Configure Database dialog as appropriate

All the required details should be passed to you by the individual who set up and configured your Evolve Repository.

This is the name that you assign to this connection. It will be shown in the database drop-down list on the Evolve Suite Logon dialog.

          5. Click OK.

The database connection is created. If the connection test fails, please review the details you have entered and confirm them with your database administrator.

WHAT NEXT?

Now you have installed Evolve Suite and created a connection to a shared Evolve Database, if you are using one, you can proceed to use the software as required - see how to log on using the instructions below.

If this is a completely new installation of Evolve Suite with a new shared database, then a nominated user must complete the database creation by loading the Evolve Data and

sample models. To do this see Appendix A - Load Models into the Evolve Repository  for instructions.
