To test how packages are imported and to simulate the movement of data across machines, you would need todo one of the following:
Have a second MCMS test machine
Simulate a "second" database for testing purposes
Let's create a fresh database to test the import process.
Close Site Manager.
From the
Start
menu, selectPrograms | Microsoft SQL Server | Enterprise Manager
.Expand the nodes
Microsoft SQL Servers | SQL Server Group | (Server Name) | Databases
. Right-click on theDatabases
folder and selectNew Database...
.In the Database Properties dialog, name the new database
TropicalGreen2
.Click
OK
to close the dialog.Add the MCMS System Account as a user of the database (we discussed how this can be done in detail in Chapter 3).
Close Enterprise Manager.
With the database created, use the Database Configuration Application to point MCMS to it. We now have a blank MCMS database to import the objects into.
