Attach a NIST Database

You must install the NIST database before installing the FSA. Specifically, you must attach the WGN_NIST database to any instance of SQL Server 2005 or 2008.

To attach a NIST database
  1. Run installNIST.cmd.

    Find this file in the root of the distribution image for the NIST database.

    You must run this command file on the SQL Server host machine.

  2. When prompted, enter the path to the target folder for the NIST database.

    The installation utillity attaches a WGN_NIST database to the target instance of SQL Server. To do this, it installs the following data and transaction log files:

    WGN_NIST.mdf
WGN_NIST_log.ldf
  3. After successfully attaching the WGN_NIST database, you are ready to install the FSA.

    As part of the FSA installation, you must also install the NIST Database Connector. See the Deployment Guide for details; search the index for 'FSA: installing'.
