The Example Projects database is installed automatically as part of a Full installation or Typical Server and Clients installation.
The Example Projects database is automatically imported into your installation if there is no existing database present.
If an existing database is present, then the Example Project database files are copied to your system, but are not imported. You can import the Example Project database at a later date if required.
UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR OF APPLICATION
The Example Projects database can only be installed at Root Group level within a database. It contains security settings, which might affect the configuration of an existing database.
We recommend that the Examples Project database be installed as a standalone server and used only for training and in conjunction with the Tutorial material.
If your installation choice for Geo SCADA Expert does NOT include the Examples Projects database as part of the installation you need to select a Custom installation (see Choose Setup Type) or import the Example Project database when your installation is complete. When you choose Custom on the Choose Setup Type ‘page’, the Custom Setup ‘page’ is displayed.
Use the ‘tree’ on the left-hand side of the ‘page’ to choose and expand the Server branch and locate the Configuration Samples component.
Right-click on the branch and select the Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive option. The selected component and all of its sub-components will be installed.
