Database Setup for SQL Server

Overview

Run the Database Setup utility for SQL Server (mss_setup) on a Microsoft SQL Server system to establish SharePlex as a SQL Server database user.

This utility creates the following:

A SharePlex user account with the db_owner role
Tables and indexes for use by SharePlex and owned by the SharePlex user in a database of your choosing
A default database connection.

Supported databases

For supported SQL Server platforms and versions, see the SharePlex Release Notes.

Guidelines for use

A system DSN (data source name) must exist for the SQL Server database. SharePlex Post uses the DSN to connect to the database through ODBC.
Run the Database Setup utility on all SQL Server instances in the SharePlex replication configuration.
Within a cluster, run the Database Setup utility on the node to which the shared disk that contains the variable-data directory is mounted.
For consolidated replication, run the Database Setup utility for each variable-data directory.

Required privileges

Review the following requirements to ensure that the setup succeeds.

The Database Setup utility must be run as a SQL Server System Administrator in order to grant SharePlex the required privileges to operate on the database and to create the SharePlex database account and objects.
The sysadmin role is required to run mss_setup, but it is not required by the SharePlex database account used to run SharePlex replication (the SharePlex User). The db_owner role is required by the SharePlex User account and it is granted by mss_setup (for source and target).
(Cloud installations) Common restrictions on privileges in cloud-hosted database services make it difficult for the setup utility to succeed in every possible type of scenario. To ensure that the database setup succeeds, only use the setup utility for the following purposes: To do a first-time database setup with a new SharePlex user, or, to modify an existing SharePlex user that either owns the database or has access to it. (Cloud installation is not supported while replicating data from PostgreSQL to SQL Server)

Run database setup for SQL server

Perform the following steps to run database setup for SQL server:

Shut down any running SharePlex processes and sp_cop on the SQL Server system.

Run the mss_setup program from the bin subdirectory of the SharePlex product directory.

Important! If you installed the SharePlex instance on any port other than the default of 2100, use the -p option to specify the port number. For example, in the following command the port number is 9400.

C:\users\splex\bin>mss_setup-p9400

Table 8: Setup prompts and responses

Prompt	Response
Enter the Microsoft SQL Server DSN name [] :	Enter the data source name (DSN) that connects to SQL Server. Make certain the DSN is a system DSN, not a user DSN.
Enter the Microsoft SQL Server Administrator name :	Enter the name of the SQL Server Administrator. This user will perform the setup work on the SharePlex account and schema.
Enter the password for the Administrator account :	Enter the password of the Administrator.
Enter the database name:	Enter the name of the database where you want to install the SharePlex objects.
Database name database does not exist. Would you like to create it? [y] :	If this prompt is displayed, the specified database does not exist. Press Enter to have the setup utility create it for you.
Would you like to create a new SharePlex login [y]:	Press Enter to accept the default to create a new SharePlex database user account, or enter n to use an existing account as the SharePlex database user.
Enter the name of the existing SharePlex login: Enter the name of the new SharePlex login:	One of these prompts is displayed depending on whether you elected to create a new user or use an existing user. Enter the name of the SharePlex user.
Enter the password for login:	Enter the password of the SharePlex user account.
Re-enter the password for login :	Enter the SharePlex password again.
Will this database be used as a source?	Accept the default of n if the database will only be a target. Enter y if this database will be a source database for SharePlex. A response of y prompts the setup to prepare the database for data capture and installs the SharePlex account and objects.

A successful setup terminates with a message similar to the following:

Completed SharePlex for Microsoft SQL Server database configuration

SharePlex User name: splex

Database name: db1

Target specification in SharePlex configuration: r.db1

Configure Remote Posting from a Linux to a SQL Server Database

To replicate data from a Linux server to a SQL server database, follow the steps below:

Install the latest SQL Server ODBC drivers on Linux.

By default, the ODBC drivers will be installed at /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql18/lib64.
Modify the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files in the <var_dir>/odbc directory.
Run the mss_setup program from the bin subdirectory of the SharePlex product directory.
Provide other details when it prompts you, like the database name, username, password, etc. For more information, see Run Database Setup for SQL Server.
