Run Log Explorer V4.0

We have now created a sample database. During the rest of the tour, you will need to switch back and forth between this application and Log Explorer V4.0. To begin, run Log Explorer V4.0 and connect to the transaction log for the LumigentDemoDB database:

Description Steps to Take Possible Errors
Run Log Explorer
  1. Select Programs | Lumigent | Log Explorer for SQL Server | Log Explorer from your Start menu

If you do not see the Lumigent folder in the Start menu, you may not have Log Explorer installed, or it was installed to a different folder.

Attach to SQL Server
  1. Click "Attach Log File" icon on the left-hand toolbar
  2. Enter the SQL Server, Login Name, and Password
  3. Click on the "Connect" button (lower-left corner of window)
If you receive an error message, click here for suggestions.
Attach to the demo database and log file
  1. Select LumigentDemoDB from the "Database Name" selection box
  2. Check "Use On-line Log," and clear the "Use Backup File" options
  3. Click on the "Attach" button (lower-left corner of window)

 

If the LumigentDemoDB database does not appear, you have either selected a different server, or you have not completed the initialization of the test database.

Evaluation copies of Log Explorer, while fully functional, are restricted to connecting to the AdventureWorks, AdventureWorksDW, Northwinds and pubs sample Microsoft databases and the LumigentDemoDB used in this guided tour.
