Before initializing a domain, familiarize yourself with the following prerequisites:
General Prerequisites for Initializing a Domain Using Another Domain as a Source
-
When initializing a domain using another domain as a source, run the DB Checker Utility for the source domain.
-
Make sure the database type and version of the source domain is the same as the database type and version where you want to initialize a new domain. If not, you must upgrade the source domain, or the target Admin schema to the same version of your Smart Instrumentation® software.
-
When initializing a domain using another domain as a source, in the source domain, make a list of all user-defined database views that are used in the source domain. You need to log on as Domain Administrator to add user-defined database views in the list. When initializing a domain, the software only creates those user-defined views that the Domain Administrator added in the list.
-
When initializing a domain in Windows Vista and Windows 7, you might need to temporarily turn off the User Account Control in Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10. For details, see Workaround for an Initialization Problem in Windows 7 and 10.
Domain Initialization in Oracle
-
If your Oracle client language environment is other than English, Far Eastern, Middle Eastern, or Spanish (Latin American), you must configure the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the client registry prior to initializing a domain in Oracle. For details, see Numeric Character Settings for Oracle.
Domain Initialization in SQL Server
-
Regardless of the source domain platform, make sure that in the INtools.ini file, the [Database] section has the following statement:
AutoCommit=TRUE
