Install and Configure a Sybase Mart › How to Install and Configure a Sybase Mart › Initialize a Sybase Mart

Initialize a Sybase Mart

When you access the Mart database through CA ERwin Mart Administrator for the first time, you must initialize the database. You can initialize the database using a database authenticated user or a Windows authenticated user.

Note: Before you proceed, verify that you have installed a DBMS, created the Mart database and run the initial queries. If the Mart is already initialized, the Login page appears.

Follow these steps:

1. If you are using MartServer as a Windows service, help ensure that the service is started. If not, from the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, CA, ERwin, CA ERwin Mart Server r9.64(32-bit or 64-bit), Start Mart Server to start the Mart Server.

   A Windows command prompt window appears and indicates when the server starts.

2. From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, CA, ERwin, CA ERwin Mart Server r9.64(32-bit or 64-bit), CA ERwin Mart Administrator r9.64(32-bit or 64-bit).

   CA ERwin Mart Administrator opens in your default browser.

3. Complete the following fields:

   Username

   Defines the user name with which you want to access the Mart. If you are using a Windows-authenticated user, enter the name in the <domain name>/<user name> format.

   Password

   Defines the password for the user name.

   Confirm Password

   Confirms the password that you entered in the previous field.

   Email Address

   Defines the email address for the user account that you are creating.

4. Click Initialize.

   The user name is added as an administrator of Mart, Mart is initialized, and the Login web page appears. Initializing is a one-time task. After Mart is initialized, the user who initialized must log in first. Later, any other user who wants to use CA ERwin Mart Administrator can log in.

Note: The user name that is entered here is an application level user and not a database user. Remember the password that you have entered here, because without the password you cannot log in to CA ERwin Mart Administrator for the first time.

In the previous releases, only a server user was allowed to initialize a Mart. From release r9.6, a Windows-authenticated user can also initialize a Mart. Further, a Windows-authenticated user can log in to a Mart as a Windows user.

To initialize a Mart with a Windows-authenticated user, follow these steps:

1. Provide the Active Directory details with user credentials in the Active Directory Details section in the CA ERwin Mart Configuration dialog.
2. Open CA ERwin Mart Administrator, enter the user name in the <domain name>/<user name> format. For more information about how to initialize a Mart, see the Workgroup Edition Implementation and Administration Guide.

To log in as a Windows-authenticated user, follow these steps:

This procedure describes how to enable a Windows-authenticated user log in to a Mart that is already initialized. Use this procedure if the Mart is initialized with either a server user or a Windows-authenticated user.

1. Ensure that you have provided the Active Directory details with user credentials in the Active Directory Details section in the CA ERwin Mart Configuration dialog.
2. Log in to the Mart as an administrator and add the required user as a Windows user in the Mart. Ensure that the user belongs to the Active Directory that was provided at the time of configuring the Mart.

   Now the Windows-authenticated user can log in to CA ERwin Mart Administrator by providing the user name in the <domain name>/<user name> format.

Note: A local Windows user who does not belong to a domain or who is not part of an Active Directory cannot log in to the Mart as a Windows user.
