ODBC Data Source Configuration

The MSSQL data source should be configured:

• Go to the Control Panel under Administrative Tools / Data Sources (ODBC). In the System DSN tab
• Click Add, select SQL Native Client from the list, and, then, click Finish.
• On a first page: specify name of data source and select appropriate database engine from the list. Click Next.
• On a second page: select With Integrated Windows Authentication and click Next
• On a third page: leave default settings and click Next
• On a forth page: again leave default settings and click finish.

ZEUS should be set to use configured data source:

• Go to the directory where the ZEUS is installed. Normally, it is C:\Program Files\ZEUS (C:\Programme\ZEUS if the German version of Windows is installed)
• Go to the subdirectory called db.lib and double-click on file named db.udl. The ODBC connection dialog will be opened.
• Under Connection tab:
  • Check 'Use data source name' and select appropriate ODBC data source.
  • Leave user and password information blank
  • Select any initial catalog from the list
  • Test connection and click OK

Creating ZEUS Database

• Start ZEUS Configurator
• Click Configure Databases
• Click Create new ZEUS Database, give a database name, and click OK
• If program have not reported any errors the database is created successful and the default password is set to zeus
• Now go back to the db.udl (from previous step) and under Enter the initial catalog to use select newly created database.
• Click OK

Configuring Data Sources, Alarms, and Logging Groups

• Just use ZEUS Configurator to accomplish this task
• Try consulting [downloader:4 documentation]. It is a little bit outdated, but most of the things are still valid.
