Attach a NIST Database

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

To attach a NIST database

1. Run installNIST.cmd.

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

   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
   

   The WGN_NIST database is successfully attached to SQL Server.

3. Install the FSA.

   As part of the FSA installation, you must also install the NIST Database Connector.
