Installing the database server
This chapter guides you through the database server installation process.
Installing the Gupta SQLBase database server
If you already have the Gupta SQLBase database server version 9.0.1 or later installed and
you have checked the version number to make sure it is compatible with Emonitor, you
can skip this section. Gupta SQLBase is the new name for the Centura database software.
If you do not already have a Gupta SQLBase database server, you must install it. See the
Gupta SQLBase documentation for hardware and software requirements for the database
server. After installing the database server software, you can install the Gupta SQLBase
database client on the computer running Emonitor. See Installing the SQLBase client on
page 10.

Installing the Gupta SQLBase database server
Install the SQLBase database server software by following the SQLBase software
installation instructions that came with your SQLBase multi-user software.
Creating the Emonitor database structure
The Emonitor Install DVD contains the database files for use with Emonitor.
1. Create a directory in your SQLBase folder with the name for your database. Create a
different directory for each of your databases. The default Emonitor database
directories are \Program Files\Gupta\SQLbase901\Econfig and \Program
Files\Gupta\SQLbase901\Entek.
2. Copy entek.dbs from the product directory (\extras\emonitor) on the Emonitor DVD
into the new directory. The product directories are located in the Extras folder on the
DVD.
The SQLBase multi-user software is not included with your Emonitor Installation DVD. If you do
not have the Gupta SQLBase software 9.0.1 or later installed, you must contact Gupta Software
to purchase the version 9.0.1 multi-user software.
