Starting the System Configuration

After installing GENESIS with any server-side component, you need to configure the new system. The initial configuration consists of setting up the connection to the SQL Server and setting up the database options for your project configurations.

If you only install the clients or the Data Broker setup, system configuration is not required.

To configure the system, use the Configure System utility which is an integral part of GENESIS. This table displays your options for opening the utility depending on your situation.

Situation	How to start the system configuration
When performing the installation using the graphical user interface	After the GENESIS installation finishes, click the Launch button on the final screen of the installer. If a Windows dialog appears, click Yes.
When performing a silent installation from a command line	In the Windows search box, enter configure system and open the Configure System utility with administrator privileges. If a Windows dialog appears, click Yes.
When performing the system configuration at any time after closing the installation dialog
When starting Workbench before performing the required initial system configuration	The Configure System utility automatically opens. If a Windows dialog appears, click Yes.
