Configure the Stat database

The new Stat® database needs to be configured with basic data before the installation can be verified. For the purposes of an installation, Stat database configuration includes adding the new databases to the Stat INI file and updating the System table with client specific information including the license code. See Edit the INI file.

Edit the INI file

The Stat® INI Editor is a GUI application designed to create new INI files and edit existing ones. The INI Editor displays all the database profile records contained in the Stat.ini file in an easy-to-read format. For more detailed instructions, see the Stat System Administration Guide, Chapter 2, Administrative Utilities.

The Stat.ini file contains the information Stat needs to connect to Stat databases. Stat.ini is located in the Stat version-specific documents folders.

•

The location of the stat.ini file is C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\Stat\7.0.

IMPORTANT: The stat.ini file may be hidden depending on the file security settings on your computer.

The Database tab in the INI Editor lists the database(s) to which Stat can connect. From here you can edit an existing INI file entry or create a new one. The INI Editor helps edit a file by asking for the exact information it needs. For example, if the DSN field is not required for a particular database, that field is grayed out.

To create an INI file entry:

Select File | New.

Select Edit | New Record.

Enter the name of the database, and click OK.

The Stat INI Editor adds a new database profile to the record sheet.

In the DBMS field, select a DBMS.

The default is Microsoft® SQL Server®. Depending on the DBMS you select, the STAT INI Editor prompts you to define different values.

Enter the STATLOGIN password in the Encrypted Login Password field, either by entering an encrypted password from another stat.ini file or by clicking Change Password and entering the STATLOGIN password.

In the remaining fields, specify additional parameters as needed.

Select File | Save as, and specify a name for the INI file.

Click Save.

The following table contains general database connection settings for the Stat INI Editor. Each record in the Stat INI Editor represents a database in the INI file. For more general information on available DBMS settings, see any of the Environment Connection Maintenance sections in the Stat System Administration Guide, Chapter 4, General Maintenance Tables.

Table 1. General database connection settings for the Stat INI Editor

Value	Description
DBMS	Database interface identifier. This identifier is DBMS and DBMS release specific.
Server Name (SQL Server)	The name of the database server that houses the Stat Repository.
NET_SERVICE_NAME (Oracle)	TNS entry name (NET_SERVICE_NAME)
Database (SQL Server)	Database name
Loginid	The login ID used for the Stat first-pass login. Not used by all DBMS. This entry should always be STATLOGIN.
Encrypted Login Password	The encrypted password of STATLOGIN. This value can be changed, as described below.
Connect Time Out Secs	Number of seconds to wait for a connection to the database before timing out. Not supported by all RDBMS.
OtherDbParm	Additional database connection parameters, if needed. For Oracle databases that use a comma rather than a period as a decimal separator, enter the value: DecimalSeparator=','.
Unicode (SQL Server)	Type Y if you are running Stat on a Unicode database (in order to support PeopleSoft Unicode databases) and the DBMS is SQL Server. Otherwise leave blank.
Enable DB Trace	Configures Stat to write a trace log of all commands. Selecting this option impacts the client application’s processing speed and should only be selected if directed to by Support.

Update the System Maintenance table

After configuring the Stat® database, the next step is to login to Stat for the first time using the special SYSTEM user account and to update the System Maintenance table. The System Maintenance table is where you define global operating parameters for your installed copy of Stat and verify your license. For more information, see the Stat System Administration Guide, Chapter 4, General Maintenance Tables.

To update the System Maintenance table:

When prompted, enter a password that is easily remembered.

CAUTION: The SYSTEM account is the only way to log into the Stat Client until other users are defined. When prompted for the initial password, enter a password that is easily remembered. A more secure password can be defined later.

Full access to Stat 7.0 requires a license key. Until the license key is entered, you can only access the System Maintenance window in the client application.

Select Maintenance | General | System Maintenance.

In the General tab, enter the site name, address, phone number, etc.

In the License tab, do the following to enter the Stat license key:

Enter the License Key and Site Message.

Test the key by clicking Verify.

A valid key will include the following License Properties:

•

The type of license. Options include Commercial (permanent), Trial (temporary) and Term (a temporary enhancement of licensing rights for commercial users)

•

Number of Technical Licenses

•
