SIMS - Multiple Organisation Database Setups
If you host SIMS databases for more than one organisation and have a server that can connect to them all, rather than having to install the software for each one, you can install it once and add each of the organisations to this instance.
-
Once you have finished installing the software, the configuration page is displayed. You must enter the Authorisation Code for the organisation and the organisation's Sims details. The authorisation code you are given is unique and must only be used for organisation it is assigned to.
-
Once this has been done, select OK to save the details, and then select OK to the additional messages displayed.
-
To add an additional organisation to the same setup, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Contact Group\Data Extractor, open deconfig.exe and select the + icon.

This asks if you if you wish to save the current configuration and add on another organisation, select Yes.

You can now enter details for another organisation and Authorisation Code (as completed for the first organisation) and select OK to save the details. This process must be completed each time you wish to add another organisation.
