Manually start SQL Server

The Operations Control Management Console, used to start the AVEVA Historian, also starts the Microsoft SQL Server.

Alternatively, you can manually start the Microsoft SQL Server with the SQL Server Configuration Manager. This application is loaded as part of the Microsoft SQL Server installation.

To start SQL Server with Configuration Manager

1. On the Start menu, point to the Microsoft SQL Server program group, then open the Configuration Tools folder, and click SQL Server Configuration Manager. The SQL Server Configuration Manager window appears.

2. In the Server list, click the default server name for Microsoft SQL Server. The services appear in the details pane.

3. Right-click the service you want to start and select Start to start the service. The status of the service appears at the bottom of the window.
