This Guided Tour demonstrates many of the most valuable features of Lumigent® Log Explorer™. Step by step instructions guide you to create a demonstration database, explore Log Explorer, and clean up when you are done.
The Tour can be used in either 'Highlight' mode or 'Tutorial' mode. Highlight mode is typically used for presentation to others, displaying summary-level information only. Tutorial mode provides detailed, step-by-step instructions. Select Highlight mode by clicking the 'Highlights Only' check-box, located in the upper left of the Guided Tour window.
In order to benefit from this guided tour, it is assumed that you are familiar with SQL Server, and that you have administrator privileges to access an instance of SQL Server version 2000 or 2005.
Some pages contain Transact SQL scripts for simulating database activity. Scripts may be viewed by clicking 'View Script'. Scripts will be executed when the 'Next' button is clicked.
On some screens, the data grid at the bottom of the screen shows data from the database created for this tour, so that you can see the effect of the SQL scripts being used.
The Guided Tour is designed to be navigated in order from start to finish. Note that each time you restart this Guided Tour program you will start at the beginning. To work all the way through without starting over you will need to keep the application open.
Move from one Tour page to the next by clicking the 'Next' button, which appears below the instruction pane.
You may view, though not execute, previous or future pages using the navigation outline on the left of the Guided Tour window.
If you have navigated to another page using the outline, you can return to the current or 'active' page by clicking the 'Current' button, which appears to the right of the 'Next' button below the instruction pane.
