Install Toad Data Point and ODBC Drivers

When Toad Data Point is used to publish objects and Automation scripts to Toad Intelligence Central, ensure the following requirement is met.

Install Toad Data Point on the same host computer as Toad Intelligence Central.

Beginning with Intelligence Central 3.0, if the Toad Intelligence Central Server Installer is used, Toad Data Point and applicable ODBC drivers are automatically installed immediately following the Intelligence Central installation. This ensures compatibility of features and drivers for objects published through Toad Data Point and is required in order for Toad Data Point Automation Scripts to execute on Toad Intelligence Central.

Note: Following installation of Toad Data Point on the Toad Intelligence Central host computer, start the Toad Data Point application and add your Toad Data Point Professional license key. Adding your license key to Toad Data Point is required, however Toad Data Point installed via the Toad Intelligence Central installer is not counted in the Toad Data Point license count.

In addition, if Toad Data Point is used to publish Automation scripts to Intelligence Central, ensure the following requirements are met (if applicable).

Does the Toad Intelligence Central server have access to an email SMTP port?

If an Automation Script scheduled to execute on the Toad Intelligence Central server includes an instruction to send an email then in order for that email to be sent, the Toad Intelligence Central server must have access to an email SMTP port.

Is Microsoft® Excel® installed on the Toad Intelligence Central host computer?

If an Automation Script scheduled to execute on the Toad Intelligence Central server includes an instruction to run a macro in an Excel spreadsheet, then Microsoft Excel must be installed on the Toad Intelligence Central host computer. Other Automation script uses of Excel do not have this requirement. For example, Excel is not required to execute an Automation script that exports to Excel.

Authenticated Proxy Server Connections

The following is required if the host on which the Toad Intelligence Central server is installed connects to the Internet via a proxy server and the proxy server is authenticated. Execute this SQL statement after the Toad Intelligence Central server is installed.

INSERT INTO hub_information_schema.hub_proxies VALUES ('http', 'http://proxyAddress:proxyPort/', 'username', 'password');

Variable Value
http The protocol under which the proxy server operates. The protocol may be http or https or both http and https. If both http and https are used then execute the SQL statement twice, once per protocol.
proxyAddress The IP address of the proxy server.
proxyPort The port on which the proxy server operates.
username The username to the proxy server.
password The password to the proxy server.

Use Virtual Disk in VM Installation

If you plan to install Toad Intelligence Central in a virtual machine (VM) environment, and you require more space than is available, you might choose to utilize a virtual disk (VMDK) to store the Toad Intelligence Central Data Files Folder.

Create the virtual disk and mount a drive on the VM to the virtual disk (if remote) prior to installing Toad Intelligence Central. Then during installation, specify the virtual disk as the location for the Data Files Folder.

The following procedure describes how to add a virtual disk for a VMware® virtual machine.

  1. Open the VMware virtual machine.
  2. Select the virtual machine and select VM | Settings.
  3. Select the Hardware tab.
  4. Click Add.
  5. In the Add Hardware Wizard, select Hard Disk and click Next.
  6. On the Select a Disk page, select Create a new virtual disk. Click Next.
  7. On the Select a Disk Type page, use the defaults. Click Next.
  8. On the Specify Disk Capacity page, enter a value for the disk size. Select Store virtual disk as a single file. Click Next.
  9. On the Specify Disk File page, specify a location for the virtual disk file. Click Browse.
    1. Specify the remote server address, if creating the disk on a remote server.
    2. Enter a file name.
    3. Click Open.
  10. After adding the virtual disk, you must initialize it.
    1. In the VMware virtual machine, go to Computer Management | Storage | Disk Management.
    2. Initialize the uninitialized virtual disk.
    3. After it is initialized, right-click the disk and select New Simple Volume.
  11. The new virtual disk should now be listed under Drives on the computer where it is located.
