The size of the database directly relates to the amount of data being collected and being queried from the SQL Server. In other words, the size of the database directly relates to the number of rows in the database. Each discovery type stores different amounts of data. Use the Database Estimator tool for further information based on the types of collections being performed.

To create a database and then install a server utilizing that database

Ensure that only the Database Wizard component is selected.

Create the database or connect to an existing database using the wizard. For detailed steps, see Using the Database Wizard to Create or Connect a Database

Ensure that only the Enterprise Reporter Server component is selected as outlined in Installing the Components .

Installing and Configuring IT Security Search

It Security Search is a cross-product searching platform. Once it is configured in your environment, you set up System Configuration to push collected data from Enterprise Reporter to the IT Security Search repository. To be able to push collected data to the repository, the database account must have db-owner rights to the Enterprise Reporter database. For information on installing and configuring IT Security Search, see the IT Security Search documentation in your download package or CD.
