When you start an Administrator Session, the SQL Login page displays (see Figure 15 (page 24) ),
allowing you to specify credentials and log in to SQL Server and Analysis Services instances.
When you log in to instances, you can use the full functionality of HP ESO pages. If you are not
logged in, use of HP ESO pages is limited to viewing.
IMPORTANT: HP highly recommends that you start data collection as soon as possible. Data
collection enables HP ESO to capture and analyze real SQL Server workload patterns in the system
and to give the best optimization recommendations, based on the observed workload patterns.
For more information, see
“Collecting data for analysis and optimization
recommendations” (page 31) .
If you do not have credentials for logging in to any SQL instances, you can initiate data collection,
but you cannot view or apply optimization recommendation. Database administrators (users with
credentials) can log in to view or apply optimization recommendations.
HP ESO SQL Login page
The HP ESO SQL Login page (titled SQL Server and Analysis Services Login, as shown in Figure 15
(page 24) ) allows you to set credentials and log in to SQL Server and Analysis Services instances,
as described in “Quick start: Tasks performed in a typical HP ESO user session” (page 24) .
