This procedure is for SQL Server 2016.

  1. Open the Database Wizard, select Create a new catalog, select name generator server for site, or select existing site, and then click Next.

  2. On the Select Site Database and Schema page, select MSSQL from the Database type list.

  3. Select the name of the server in the Site database server list on which the site database currently resides. Only registered SQL Servers appear in the Site database server list. See the Smart 3D Installation Help.

  4. In the Site database name list box, select the site database to activate. The software populates the Site database workshare location, Name rule ID, and Site database name server boxes with information as it was defined during the initial creation of the site database you select for activation. Because the Name Generator Service can be configured on multiple server computers, you can specify (optionally) an alternative name server in the Site database name server box. The other two boxes are read-only.

  5. Select the name of the server in the Site schema server list on which the site schema database currently resides.

  6. In the Site schema name list box, select the site schema database you want to activate.

  7. Click Next.

  8. On the Catalog Database and Schema page, select Restore catalog from backup.

  9. Type the name of your catalog database in the Catalog database name box. This step also automatically populates the name of your catalog schema database in the Catalog schema name text box.

  10. Use the default paths for the catalog database files in the Physical database and Log file boxes.

  11. Click the Browse nutton to the right of the Symbol and custom program file folder box, and browse for and select the SharedContent folder on the Smart 3D server.

    • The SharedContent folder is created automatically on the server during the Smart 3D Reference Data installation.

    • The path in the Symbol and custom program file folder box must be a UNC path. To obtain a UNC path, click the ellipsis button and browse under My Network Places, not under My Computer.

  12. Click the Browse button to the right of the Template file to be used to create catalog database and schema text box and browse for the name of the template file (catalogdb.dat) you want the software to use when creating your catalog and schema databases. The location of the file is on the reference data computer in [Product Folder]\3DRefData\DatabaseTemplates\.

    The catalogdb.dat template file contains sample Smart 3D reference data and, while this template contains many useful examples, it is not certified for production use by Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence.

  13. Click Next.

  14. On the Ready to Make Changes page, click Finish.

  15. When processing completes, click Close.

You use the New Model Command to create a new model database. Part of the process includes selecting the catalog database you want to associate with the new model. See Create a new model (MS SQL Server database).
