To ensure that the PIS works, it is essential to have a database to store its metadata. Without this database, the product cannot operate. Make sure that SQL Server is installed on your machine. Let's create the database, which must be empty, i.e. it must not contain any tables.


  • Open SQL Server Management Studio.


  • On the connection screen, select SQL Server Authentication.


  • Enter the user sa and the password defined during the SQL Server installation.


  • Optionally, tick the Remember Password option to avoid having to enter the password for future connections.


  • Click on Connect.


  • Once connected, locate the Database folder in the left-hand pane.


  • Right-click on Database and select New Database.


  • Name the new database Metadata and confirm the creation by clicking OK.


  • The Metadata database will be created, but it will initially be empty.


The database components will be configured automatically when the PIS is connected for the first time.


Warning: A PIS server can contain several metadata.


With these steps, the database needed to run the PIS will be configured and ready for use. The internal structure and tables will be created automatically as the PIS is used.
