Question
Compass is already installed. How can I setup a new Database for Compass?
Answer
Step 1
Create a new SQL Instance on your SQL Server in case you do not have one.
Step 2
Run the Compass_SQLServerSetup.exe as administrator. It can be found in the on the installer CD under Setup\SQLServerSetup.
Step 3
In the pop-up click on Next, enter the name of the SQL Server Instance you created in Step 1.
Click Next and Install.
Step 4
The setup will install the four Compass databases in the SQL Server Instance mentioned above.
Step 5
In order to connect Compass to the new DB please run the Compass_Setup.exe. Click next - Modify-next until you reach the SQL Server Setup page. Choose the SQL Server Instance you have created in Step 1 and click set, then next. The setup will now connect Compass to the new DB created in Step 3.
Step 6
In order to check whether Compass is now connected to the new database go to C:\Program Files\IBADosimetry\COMPASS 2018 and open the file dbConnectionIBA.config in the notepad. Here the connection to the SQL Server Instance and DB is written down.
