AutoCAD MAP3D and Microsoft SQL Server:<br /> 3. Create a New Map System User

It was long time I post last tutorial of this series AutoCad MAP3D and Microsoft SQL Server. In this part I gonna to write how to set up you first industry model on new installation of MS SQL Server. If you do not know how to install MS SQL Server just read my previous article.

OK, what's next? Aah. Firstly you need to open a little application usually located in your Infrastructure Administrator bin folder. OK! You asked where is that folder? It is here on my computer: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Infrastructure Administrator 2013\bin\, If you install your AutoCad MAP3D normally way and you did not change anything, you should have it on a same location. In this folder you can find a little application called Autodesk.IndustryModelSetup.exe.
After you start this app, you should change a "Industry model type" drop-down menu from Oracle Database to Microsoft SQL Server. The easiest way to log in is to use Windows Authentication mode and fill out server name. This server name is in my case VIRTUAL-PC\SQLEXPRESS. If it is installed on local PC, it should be NAME_OF_YOU_PC\NAME_OF_SERVICE. [[You can find out the name of service by pressing Win-Key+R and then write into text box services.msc and hit OK. In list of services, you should find a text like this SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS), in parentheses you usually find name of your server. ]] After you fill out the name of your server, press Next button.
After pressing next, you should be on step number two: Manage System User:
It is obvious that you do not have a Map 3D system user installed. How to set it up? Isn't it so obvious? Just press Create button and fill out the name of your new Map 3D user. Mine will be called MAPSYS2013:
And waaaaaait................................... because the Creation process is running...
And now you successfully installed your new Map System User.
You can see that Map 3D system user is Installed, your Map 3D Server Version is Autodesk Industry Model 2013 and Map 3D Version is Autodesk Industry Model 2013 as well.
Just close this Industry Model Set Up application and start Autodesk Infrastructure Administrator. And press Connect to enterprise database icon or go to menu Enterprise and press Connect to enterprise database as well
Then press "Options":
Fill out Map 3D System User part. I believe you know what to select and write into text boxes.
And press Connect...Yeah, You are loged in... Great job.

Next tutorial we will show how to create new Enterprise user. Thank you for reading...
