If you accept drive C: as the location for files and databases, skip this section.
In order to install the Metasys Server application to an alternate disk drive location, use the Custom installation method. You can also install the application databases in a custom location, but to do so, you need to create the Metasys historical databases before you begin the installation by using the SQL Server Management Studio. The Metasys Server setup then detects the presence of the historical databases and installs the databases at that location.
The following table indicates the application and database default locations.
|
Installed Item |
Default Location |
|---|---|
| Metasys Server Application |
C:\Program Files (x86)\Johnson Controls\MetasysIII on a 64-bit system |
| Metasys System Databases1 |
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL<version>.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA |
Follow these steps to create the databases at a custom location. (For more background on changing SQL Server database default locations, browse to this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd206993(v=sql.120).aspx).
- Install the version of SQL Server software that is recommended for your operating system and supported for Metasys software on the alternate disk drive. You can use the SQL Installer tool to specify a custom install path. For details, see SQL Server Software.
- If you installed one of the full versions of SQL Server software, skip to the next step. If you installed a version of SQL Server Express, verify if you also have SQL Server Management Studio under the SQL Server program group. If that application is not on the computer, install the SQL Server Management Studio software on the drive that you just installed SQL Server software. For details, refer to the SQL Server Software Installation and Upgrade Guide (LIT-12012240) .
- Start SQL Server Management Studio. Log in as the SQL Server sa administrator, or with a Windows user account that has administrative rights to SQL Server. The Object Explorer appears.
-
Use Object Explorer to manually create the following system databases on the alternate disk drive one at a time:
JCIAuditTrails, JCIEvents, JCIHistorianDB, JCIItemAnnotation, JCIReportingDB, SpacesAuthorization, and MetasysReporting
- When you define the database,
assign the Owner as <default> and specify a custom location
in the Path field. Use the browse button next to each path field to locate where you wish
to create the database. Figure 1. Example of Defining JCIAuditTrails Database
- Save the new database.
- Repeat for each Metasys system database listed in Step 4.
- Create an empty folder structure for the third-party components under
which you intend to install the Metasys Server software as follows:
<alternate path>\Program Files x86\Johnson Controls\Third Party PackagesFor example:
E:\Program Files x86\Johnson Controls\Third Party Packages - Install the Metasys Server application using the Custom method. In the Install Path field, specify the alternate disk drive in the installation path (for example, E:\Program Files x86). For a unified ADS or ADX, the setup locates, then uses the new databases that you have created. For a split ADX, you select on the installation screens where you placed the databases.
