Installing or Upgrading to SQL Server 2005
Express Edition with Advanced Services
XMPie® uProduce™ Marketing Console Express Edition requires an installation of Microsoft®
SQL Server® 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services (or higher).
uProduce version 4.0.3 and uStore® version 3.0 are both compatible with this SQL Server
Edition, but they do not require it.
This document explains how to install or upgrade your SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to the
Express Edition with Advanced Services, so that is works properly with uProduce Marketing
Console Express Edition, uStore and uProduce in general.
Audience
This document is intended for support engineers who wish to install or upgrade Microsoft
SQL Express with Advanced Services, in order to install XMPie Products (such as uProduce
and uProduce Marketing Condole).
These engineers are assumed to be familiar with installation procedures, general database
concepts and have basic knowledge of the SQL query language.
Note: To ensure a successful installation, it is highly recommended to install the SQL Server
on a machine that is dedicated to production, and to refrain from installing XMPie products on
this machine.
Attention: This installation needs to be followed through very accurately to insure a
successful operation of uProduce Marketing Console Express Edition, uStore and uProduce.
In case the installation fails, please refer to section Uninstalling SQL Server 2005, on page 32

Verifying the Success of your Installation
Verifying the Success of your Installation
To make sure you have successfully completed the SQL Server installation, take the following
steps:
1.
Make sure you can successfully connect to the Reporting Services via the Reporting
Services configuration of Microsoft SQL Server.
2.
Make sure you can access the following website:
http://localhost/Reports$XMPIE/Pages/Folder.aspx
Note: Connecting to this website may take a few minutes, while the Reporting Server is being
loaded for the first time.
3.
Reinstall the .NET Framework Version with the Service Pack you have removed.
Assigning a Static TCP/IP Port Number to the SQL
Server Database Engine
If enabled, the default instance of the Microsoft SQL Server Database engine listens on TCP
port 1433. When connecting to a named instance (XMPie) through a Firewall, configure the
Database Engine to listen on a specific port, so that the appropriate port can be opened in the
Firewall.
To assign a TCP/IP Static port number to the SQL Server Database Instance:
1.
Go to Start Æ Programs Æ Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Æ Configuration Tools and click on the
SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the Console pane, expand SQL Server 2005 Network
Configuration, expand Protocols for <instance name>, and then double-click TCP/IP.
3.
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, in the IP Addresses tab, several IP addresses appear, in
the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll. One of these is for the IP address of the loopback adapter,
127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on the computer. If the TCP
Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating the Database instance is listening on
dynamic ports, delete the 0.
4.
In the IP Properties area box, in the TCP Port box, type the port number you wish this IP
address to listen on, and then click OK.
5.
In the Console pane, click SQL Server 2005 Services.
30
Connecting Remotely to an SQL Server DB Through Firewall
6.
In the details pane, right-click SQL Server (<instance name>) and then click Restart, to
restart SQL Server service.
The static TCP/IP port number is now defined.
Connecting Remotely to an SQL Server DB Through
Firewall
When connecting remotely to an SQL Server from a web server that resides in the DMZ, it is
necessary to configure the Firewall to allow the TCP port 1433 between the web server and the
SQL server to be accessible.
The connection to the SQL Server is established from the RURL Wizard that is installed on a
web server residing in the DMZ. RURL Wizard is a web based wizard type tool, specifically
designed to simplify the process of creating personalized websites.
When installing the RURL Wizard, make sure to specify the TCP port number in the Select
page in the Database Server field, as follows:
Database Server
<SQL Server IP address>\<instance name>,<port number>.
For example: 10.1.1.146\XMPie,1433
Note: If Windows Firewall is enabled, make sure to add the port number for accessing the SQL
Server to the Windows Firewall exception rules.
For additional information on configuring SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connection, see
