Server Name
The server name should be the name of the server where the EGS database
is saved (for example, “NEWSQL\EGS”). It consists of the computer name
and instance name. If you are using a different data server other than the
current PC you are using, you should choose the name of that server. It
should be listed in the combo box when you click the drop down arrow. But
if it is not listed you can just type it manually.
When you click the drop down arrow, you will see all other Server Names
and double check which one you need to connect to.
Make sure also that the other computer or data server is turned on and is
logged to the network before you connect. Otherwise you will not be able to
continue.
Database
This is the name of the database that you are trying to attach.
Username and
Password
Type the Username and Password of your server.
Language
Select the operating system’s language used by the computer that you are
working on.
Please note that this is not the language that you want to use when running
the program. For example your computer’s operating system is using
German, but you want the program to run in English. You should choose
German and not English. If you choose English instead of German you will
encounter error in date formats while running the program.
MDF and LDF
EgsAdmin usually provides the default path of the database. But if the
default database is different from the one you are trying to connect, click on
the browse button
to search for the database that you want to use.
Open the folder where the database was saved then highlight the .mdf file
of the database you need then click OK. Follow same procedure for the .ldf
file.
Check

workstation is
standalone
check box
Select this check box so that the setup would be configured for standalone
specifications.
5. Finally, click on OK. The EgsAdmin automatically attaches the database and creates a
special login once the user or the program creates a new connection.
You should receive a message that a new connection has been successfully created.
Note: You will have Egs.zrn on the C:\Program Files\Egs\ folder after attaching the database.
