Configure the MES database

The MES Database Setup component settings in the Configurator allow you to:

• Create the MES production database, and optionally a restore database, for a new installation.

• Update (overwrite or migrate) an existing MES database to the current MES version.

• Dump the MES database scripts to disk, so they can be customized and used to create a custom MES database

To successfully configure an MES database, SQL Server database server must be available on the network or local node. A Windows or SQL Server user account with access to the server and rights to create a database must also exist.
