Introduction to the connection of the programs installed on your computer with the database

 

Except the case you have hired the service of hosting Hosting,

the programs of the complete suite is installed, run and run on your local computer.

The information that you register on the MP is stored in databases, and these can be shared by multiple users at the same time, so that

The databases can be hosted on:

  • The user's PC
  • Virtual teams
  • All type of networks (Wan, Lan, Wlan, Vlan, etc)
  • Servers or web hosting in the cloud
  • On our servers in the cloud if you make the service Cloud or Hosting

There may also be the need to perform a connection of the programs installed on each computer to the respective databases previously created.

If you do not do so, the programs won't know where to find the information that you want to access. Then, before you create a connection, you must have created a database, or have migrated your database from version 9 to the new version. For more information, see Creation of new databases and/or Database migration from version 9 to the new version.

This connection process is accomplished by creating accesses on each computer where you have installed one of the programs of the suite.

Access is a file hosted on your local computer that contains encoded all the information related to the name or IP of the server and the names of the(s) base(s) of data that each program will have access to.

Create a shortcut on your computer to connect to a database

Remember that:

Access is a file hosted on your local computer that contains encoded all information regarding the IP address or name of the served and the names of the(s) base(s) of data that each program will have access to so that once you have created your access, you'll be able to access the database automatically.

There are two options for creating access to the databases.

Option 1. Since the applications in the Suite

Option 2. From the desktop application, Database Administrator and Users

Note:
Below, we'll explain the Option 1 for the creation of an access database and what is explained here, it applies almost like when we do so from the Option 2.

Then, when you run any of the applications in the Suitechoose the option “Start using my databases”.

Click on the button Next.

Click on the button Add a database.

Click on the button Add a database.

Choose “Connect to a base of MT view.10”

Click on the button Next.

Indicates the access data to the server, and the name of the database to which you want to connect to.

In the first field, enter the IP address of your server or database server name where is located your database. What is this?

In the following two fields, write down the name of a user name and password with permissions and privileges to create database and connections on the engine selected. For more information, see What is this?

Service Cloud / Hosting:

In the case that you have hired the service Cloud or Hostingthe Technical Support team provides you with this information in your detail of purchase, same, that we will send you at the time of contracting the service.

Type in a name as you will identify the access to the selected database and a long description that will allow you to further identification of the access.

Example:

Name of the database
See characters and permitted length.
Name of the access to the database
What is this?
Long description of the database
PLANTA_SPEREN_1 ACCESS TO PLANTA_SPEREN_1 PLANT SPEREN PARQUE INDUSTRIAL EXPORTEC II
PLANTA_SPEREN_2 ACCESS TO PLANTA_SPEREN_2 PLANT SPEREN PARQUE INDUSTRIAL HUEHUETOCA
PLANTA_SPEREN_3 ACCESS TO PLANTA_SPEREN_3 PLANT SPEREN INDUSTRIAL PARK JILOTEPEC
HOTEL_Mara_A ACCESS TO HOTEL_Mara_A Hotel All Inclusive Mara Place, Cancun, QR
HOTEL_Mara_B ACCESS TO HOTEL_Mara_B Gran Executive Hotel Mara Place mexico City, Mexico
HOSPITAL_TRAUMATOLOGIA ACCESS TO HOSPITAL_TRAUMATOLOGIA Hospital of Traumatology Loma Verdes, Naucalpan
HOSPITAL_NEUROLOGIA ACCESS TO HOSPITAL_NEUROLOGIA National institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, CDMX
FLOTILLA_1 ACCESS TO FLOTILLA_1 Fleet Cars and trucks SPEREN EXPORTEC II

Important note.
The process described here, you don't have to repeat it each time you enter the system, since the access and all the information of the same is recorded on your local computer. To access the information of your databases, go to the system you only have to select the name that you have assigned to the access.

Connection of the database with mobile devices

When you run any of the programs of the suite, the first thing that appears is a window requesting the user to select the access database that you want to work

To the right you can see the information of the access to each database.

This information is also recorded in a QR code, which will facilitate the connection of mobile devices to the database.

The QR code that appears in the window will be of great utility to facilitate the connection of mobile devices to the database. For more information, see connection of mobile applications MPmobile and MPsolicitudes (The QR code is available for MySQL databases, SQL, Oracle, MariaDB, and Cloud. The QR code is not available for databases Firebird).
