Overview and installation options

Before installing RPS, review the list of installation types, select the one that best meets your
needs, and then read the corresponding instructions. For all installations, follow the
instructions in Get started, page 8 before following the steps for the specific installation
type.

Notice!

To install or upgrade RPS, the RPS operator must have administrative rights on the target

computer. Once RPS is installed or upgraded, the RPS operator does not need administrative

rights to use RPS on the target computer.

If you are using an unreleased version of RPS, such as an alpha or beta version, you must

uninstall (remove) RPS before installing a released version.

Typical installation types

Get started

This section provides steps for accessing the RPS documentation and starting the installation
process.
To start the installation process:

1. Insert the RPS DVD into your CD/DVD drive. The RPS startup program automatically
starts.

Notice!

If the startup program does not automatically start, select Start > Run… and at the prompt,

type: X:\setup.exe. "X" = the drive letter assigned to your DVD drive.

2. When the startup window opens, select a language from the list provided. An instruction
window opens in the selected language.

3. From the instruction window, you can open the RPS documentation and install RPS.

4. Click Install.

RPS automatically checks for .NET 2.0 or later, and installs it if necessary. Move to the steps in
New RPS installations, page 9 or RPS upgrades, page 15.

New RPS installations

Once you complete the instructions in Get started, page 8, make SQL database installation and
RPS installation decisions.

Install RPS

Choosing a local or network database installation:

1. If prompted for a setup language, select your language and then click Next. The Database
Location window opens.

2. Select Local to install the SQL database on the same computer as RPS or select Network
to install the SQL database on a network. Click Next. The SQL Instance window opens.

3. Continue to the steps in either existing SQL or new SQL instance.

Use an existing SQL instance

1. On the SQL Instance window, click the SQL Instances menu and select the appropriate
SQL instance. Authentication of the selected SQL instance starts.

2. By default, Windows Authentication is used. If the authentication fails, you are prompted
to use SQL Authentication.

3. To use SQL Authentication, check the SQL Authentication box, then enter your SQL user
name (sa is the default) and password (RPSsql12345 is the default) in the respective
fields. Click Next. The RPS Database window opens.

4. Select an existing RPS database, or create a new RPS database.

5. Continue to Installation Summary.

Create and use a new SQL instance

1. Select Local from the Select SQL Instance window. RPS creates a new SQL instance on
the local computer that contains the following information:
SQL Instance Name: BOSCHSQL
If BOSCHSQL is already used, the new instance is named BOSCHSQLn, where n = a
number. For example, BOSCHSQL1.

Authentication: SQL Server Authentication
User Name: sa
Password: RPSsql12345
RPS Database Name: RPSDB

If RPSDB is already used, the new database is named RPSDBn, where n = a number. For
example, RPSDB1.

2. Click the Share Database checkbox in order to share the new SQL instance with other
computers on the network. When the Share Database checkbox is selected, the SQL
browser service automatically starts. This service is required to allow other computers to
access the local SQL instance.
