Chapter 2. Before You Get Started

This document contains sample code that you can compile and run against your own installation of TMCore. Of course, in order to do that there are certain prerequisites. The main prerequisite is that you are able to connect to a SQLServer database that has been configured with the TMCore schemas. Either you or your systems administrator can set up such a database by following the instructions contained in the TMCore Installation Guide. Once the database is set up, you will need the following information:

  1. The hostname or IP address of the SQLServer that hosts the TMCore database you are using for your testing.

  2. The name of the TMCore database you are using for your testing.

  3. The type of authentication required to connect to the database and any user name and password information. A SQLServer database supports Windows-based authentication (which makes use of your Windows logon to determine if you are allowed to access the database) and can also support database-specific user name and password. Your systems administrator will be able to tell you which is configured for your database. If you are connecting using your Windows logon, you need to make sure that you have been granted the necessary access privileges. These are detailed in the TMCore Installation Guide. If you are connecting using a database-specific user name and password, you will need that information.
