    Capture2853.jpg

    The License Terms

    The first step in installing up SQL Server 2014 is the licence agreement. All the licence details for SQL Server 2014 can be read, copied and printed from the main section of the SQL Server 2014 Setup License Terms window.

    • To read the entire license information, drag the scroll bar at the right side of the main section of the SQL Server 2014 Setup License Terms window.

    • To copy the license terms displayed in the top part of the main section, click on the Copy button located on the right side, below the license terms.

    • To print the license information, click on the Print button located on the right side, below the license terms, next to the Copy button.

    The SQL Server 2014 Setup License Terms window displays two options at the bottom of the main section:

    • I accept the license terms option confirms that you have read and agreed all the license terms displayed above.

    • Send feature usage data to Microsoft option enables your machine to automatically send feedback to Microsoft. The information send by your machine regards only the hardware configuration and the usage of SQL Server 2014 and its components. Click on the link below this option for more information about the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Privacy Statement.

  7. Wait for the Setup Support Files to be installed. After the installation of the Setup Support Files is complete, the Feature Selection window will open.

    Capture2855.jpg

    Feature Selection window

    The Feature Selection window allows the user to select which of the SQL Server 2014 features are installed. By default, all the features are selected.

    The features are listed in the left side of the main section and can be selected or deselected for installation by checking the corresponding boxes. SQL Server 2014 provides three types of features:

    • Instance Features (Database Engine Services, Reporting Services).

    • Shared Features (Business Intelligence Development Studio Management Tools - Basic, SQL Client Connectivity SDK, Microsoft Sync Framework).

    • Redistributable Features.

    A short description of each feature is available on the right side of the main section. Select a feature by clicking on it and the corresponding description will be displayed on the right side of the main window.

    Select all and Unselect All options are available in the bottom-left side of the main section, below the features.

    • Clicking on the Select All button will automatically select all the features available.

    • Clicking on the Unselect All button will automatically unselect all the features available.

    The Shared Feature Directory option at the bottom of the main section allows the user to select the folder in which the shared features of SQL Server 2014 will be installed. This is helpful when more SQL Server distributions on the local machine have the same shared features. By default, the shared features will be installed in the Microsoft SQL Server directory.

    • Select the folder for Shared Features by typing the complete path into the text field or by clicking the … (browse) button next to the text field.

    Remember that you can always check the progress of SQL Server 2014 installation in the status section, in the left side of the setup window.

  8. Select the desired features and click Next to proceed.

    Minimal SQL Server 2014 feature installation

    If desired, a minimal features installation of the SQL Server 2014 can be achieved by marking for installation only the Database Engine Services feature, which is absolutely required by WEBfactory 2010. The SQL Client Connectivity SDK is also required but this feature is installed by default and cannot be left out of the initial installation.

    Feature Selection

  9. The next step of the installation of SQL Server 2014 is the Instance Configuration.

    Capture2856.jpg

    Instance Configuration window

    The Instance Configuration window allows the user to create an instance of SQL Server 2014 deployment.

    This options should not be changed, as WEBfactory 2010 Setup already configured this SQL Server 2014 instance.

    The instance options can be selected in the main section of the setup window:

    • Default instance - installs SQL Server 2014 with the default names and locations.

    • Named instance - allows the user to create a new instance name. This option is important when setting up SQL Server 2014 to interact with other software. This option should not be changed!

    • Instance ID - allows the user to assign and id to the named instance. This option should not be changed!

    • Instance root directory - allows the user to select the directory in which the instance will be deployed. This option should not be changed!

    • SQL Server directory - displays the directory of the SQL Server for this instance setup.

    • Reporting Services directory - displays the directory of the Reporting Services for this instance setup.

    • Installed instances - displays the instances that are already installed on the machine.

    Capture2862.jpg

    Database Engine Configuration - User Instances

    The User Instances tab allows the user to select whether the users are or not allowed to run separate instances of the Database Engine.

  12. Set up the SQL Server authentication and password and click Next to continue. The next step in installing SQL Server 2014 is the Reporting Services Configuration.

    Capture2863.jpg

    Reporting Services Configuration

    The Reporting Services Configuration window allows the user to setup the reporting services of SQL Server 2014. There are three options for configuring the reporting services:

    • Install the native mode default configuration - the report server will be configured in the Native mode, using default values. This native report server is usable without further setup.

    • Install the SharePoint integrated mode default configuration - created the report server database in SharePoint and configure the report server with the default values. By choosing this method, the reporting server will not be available until SharePoint is installed on the machine, and the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Technologies is installed and configured in SharePoint.

    • Install but not configure the report server - the report server will be available only after the user sets the options for the reporting server using the Reporting Services Configuration tool.

  13. Select the desired option and click Next to continue.

  14. Wait for the SQL Server 2014 Setup to run the SQL Server 2014 installation. You can check the progress in the main section of the window.

Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2016 for WEBfactory 2010
Abstract

Read these articles and learn how to install the SQL Server 2014 in order to start using WEBfactory 2010.

This article explains how to install and configure Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Express edition and WEBfactory 2010 version 3.6.0 with the latest Service Pack.

The Microsoft SQL Server 2016 is supported starting with WEBfactory 2010 version 3.6.0 with Service Pack 10 and above. Since the 2016 version of the SQL Server is not included in the WEBfactory 2010 setup, it must be installed individually, as a standalone software, and configured properly.

  1. Launch the SQL Server 2016 setup as Administrator. Select the Custom installation type.

    Capture1154.jpg
  2. Confirm the location for downloading the installation package and wait until the download is complete.

    Capture1156.jpg
  3. Once the installation package is downloaded, it will be automatically executed. Select the New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation.

    Capture1157.jpg
  4. Accept the license terms and review the installation rules.

  5. At the Feature Selection screen, proceed with the default selection.

    Capture1160.jpg
  6. At the Instance Configuration screen, set the Named Instance to WEBFACTORY2010. The Instance ID will be automatically updated.

    Capture1161.jpg
  7. Accept the defaults for the Server Configuration screen.

  8. At the Database Engine Configuration screen, select Mixed Mode for the authentication mode and enter webfactory for the password.

    Capture1163.jpg
  9. Select Install and configure Reporting Services.

    Capture1164.jpg
  10. Agree with the installation of Microsoft R open and wait until the installation is done.

    Capture1165.jpg

The Microsoft SQL Server 2016 is now installed and can be used, but with no management tool, any direct database operation is limited. So the next step is installing the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

Capture1166.jpg

After the SQL Server 2016 is completely installed, you can continue with the standard installation. When opening the WEBfactory 2010 Setup, you will notice that the SQL Server is already present, albeit the Setup will report it as 2014. You can continue with the WEBfactory 2010 installation.
