22.1 Option 'create'
If you want to create a new database, follow the steps below.
Host: enter the host name that you plan to use for Archivista 2024/II.
Under Database you can enter a name of your choice: it must be in one word and the initial character must not be a number.
You must enter 'root' in the User field if you want to create a new archive.
The field Password must carry the root password.
The field Settings from gives you the possibility to 'hand down' the settings from an existing database to the new one. Select the existing database from the combo box. If you want to create a database from scratch, then you leave this field empty.
Please note that you cannot delete the very first database 'archivista'.
After you click the button 'Execute' the database is created.
Important! Please note that you can access a new, empty database only with user 'SYSOP'. The password is the same as for user 'Admin'. User 'Admin' must be created first before you can use it for the new database. Note too that you cannot work with WebDMS with user SYSOP. Hence, there is no getting round creating user 'Admin' in WebAdmin before you can enter data in WebDMS.
