How to deploy the App-V databases by using SQL scripts
Applies to: Windows Server 2016
Use the following instructions to use SQL scripts, rather than the Windows Installer, to:
- Install the App-V databases
- Upgrade the App-V databases to a later version
Note
If you have already deployed an App-V 5.0 SP3 database or later, the SQL scripts are not required to upgrade to App-V for Windows.
How to install the App-V databases by using SQL scripts
Before you install the database scripts, review and keep a copy of the App-V license terms. By running the database scripts, you are agreeing to the license terms. If you do not accept them, you should not use this software.
Copy appv_server_setup.exe from the App-V release media to a temporary location.
From a command prompt, run appv_server_setup.exe and specify a temporary location for extracting the database scripts.
appv\_server\_setup.exe /layout c:\\_<temporary location path>_Browse to the temporary location that you created, open the extracted DatabaseScripts folder, and review the appropriate readme.txt file for instructions:
Database Location of readme.txt file to use Management database ManagementDatabase subfolder Reporting database ReportingDatabase subfolder
Caution
The readme.txt file in the ManagementDatabase subfolder is out of date. The information in the updated readme files below is the most current and should supersede the readme information provided in the DatabaseScripts folders.
Important
The InsertVersionInfo.sql script is not required for versions of the App-V management database later than App-V 5.0 SP3.

Steps to install "AppVManagement" schema in SQL SERVER.
## PREREQUISITES:
1. Review the installation package. The following files MUST exist:
SQL files
---------
Database.sql
CreateTables.sql
CreateStoredProcs.sql
UpdateTables.sql
Permissions.sql
2. Ensure the target SQL Server instance and SQL Server Agent service are running.
3. If you are not running the scripts directly on the server, ensure the
necessary SQL Server client software is installed and available from
the specified location. Specifically, the "osql" command must be supported for these scripts to run.
## PREPARATION:
1. Review the database.sql file and modify as necessary. Although the
defaults are likely sufficient, it is suggested that the following
settings be reviewed:
DATABASE - ensure name is satisfactory - default is "AppVManagement".
2. Review the Permissions.sql file and provide all the necessary account information
for setting up read and write access on the database. Note: Default settings in the file will not work.
## INSTALLATION:
1. Run the database.sql against the "master" database. Your user
credential must have the ability to create databases.

2. Run the following scripts against the "AppVManagement" database using the
same account as above in order.
