The Configuration Wizard

ClosedTo start the configuration wizard:

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the XBOUND installation folder and double-click the Start Configuration Assistant link.

Alternatively, right-click the xboundConfigurationWizard.exe file and select Run As Administrator.

After installation, the Configuration Wizard is available. This wizard is intended for the smallest XBOUND installations, including those to be used for testing or demonstration purposes. The wizard is not recommended for larger installations.

After you start the wizard, it first checks whether XBOUND is installed.

Then it checks whether XBOUND is already configured. In that case you can select whether to continue and replace the existing configuration. If you confirm, XBOUND services will be stopped and all existing XBOUND settings and data will be overwritten.

Warning: In some cases—for example if XBOUND privileges are already set up and the user lacks a privilege such as "Log On to XBOUND"—the wizard cannot recognize a configured XBOUND system. If you run the wizard on such a system, it will overwrite the local XBOUND settings. It is your responsibility to ensure that no existing XBOUND system is overwritten.

Databases

Set the database settings. Ensure that Create databases is selected, if they do not yet exist and are to be created automatically.

Note: If you deselect this option, then the schemas, tables, etc. are created in the existing databases.

If you activate Extended Settings, you can configure a separate database server for each XBOUND database.
