Getting started (Tutorial)

The first time you have started Viewalyzer you were prompted for input a new connection. This connection is the viewalyzer connection to your viewalyzer database. The user you enter here must have database creation rights for creating the Viewalyzer structure. Viewalyzer store all data in your viewalyzer database. Only recompile create/replace views on other databases that you are selected in connection preferences

After starting Viewalyzer you need 4 steps to recompile your first view.

 

1. Step: Create a new connection

Connection -> New Connection...

open new dialog where you can create a new connection to other databases (customer database)

2. Step: Create a new database

Database -> New database...

open new dialog where you can create a new database. Here you enter a name for your database and select the new connection that we created at step 1. If you have only one connection selected you have automatically this connection as default connection. Otherwise you can choose.

3. Step: Connect to database

Select database from database tree and double click on it or click the green connect button from toolbar to connect to your default connection (default database) The connection take a few seconds, because Viewalyzer synchronize the default database with Viewalyzer database.

4. Step: Recompile view

Select your view that you want to recompile from the viewalyzer database tree.
If you select a view all entries will be done in the view area.
You can make your changes on the view and than press the recompile button in the toolbar for recompilation.
