6 Intrductin Fr Sage HRMS Payrll installs and Sage 300 ERP integratin If yu are installing Sage HRMS Payrll, be advised that Sage 300 ERP and Sage HRMS Payrll cannt reside n the same server. Befre yu start the installatin, make sure that Sage 300 ERP is nt n the server n which yu are installing Sage HRMS Payrll. Nte: When Sage HRMS 2015 is installed withut Sage HRMS Payrll, the prduct supprts integratin with Sage 300 ERP. The tl that facilitates this integratin is called AHLink. Database Create credentials Installatin requires Database Create credentials. Fr the installatin, the SQL accunt t be used during the installatin must have full DB Create (administrative) credentials, such as username SA (System Administratr) and the passwrd. If the Enterprise SQL DB Administratr will nt prvide an accunt with DB Create credentials, d the fllwing: Have the Enterprise SQL DB Administratr create a SQL accunt especially fr the Sage HRMS database and give that accunt name t the install team. After the install have the Enterprise SQL DB Administratr dwngrade this accunt t DB Owner credentials nly. Be advised that the accunt used during installatin is the same accunt and passwrd that will be used by the Sage HRMS applicatin. T test this accunt and passwrd cmbinatin, refer t the Database Cnnectin Tl instructins. Only alphanumeric characters are permitted n install screens: When yu enter text in fields n the installatin screens (such as cmpany name r server name), the text must cntain nly alpha r numeric characters (alphabetic characters a-z, A-Z and numeric characters 0-9). Yu must nt use any spaces r special characters, such as #, r punctuatin marks. Sage HRMS 2015 Installatin Guide - 6

The installatin f Sage HRMS cnsists f tw separate installatins: installing n the server and installing n clients. Fllw the steps belw t first install Sage HRMS n a server, and then install a client either n the same server machine r n a separate machine. If yu will run Sage HRMS n a netwrk, the first user t lg n each machine must d a separate client install. Step 1: Install Sage HRMS n the server Nte: Yu must have administratr privileges t install this prduct. 1. At the server machine, pen the Sage HRMS installatin package. If yu are using Sage HRMS with Micrsft SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012 (Standard r Enterprise Editins), SQL Server 2012 R2, and the SQL Server is installed, prceed t number 6 belw. If yu yu d nt already have SQL Server Express Editin installed, prceed t number 2. Nte: SQL Server Express Editin is a free dwnlad frm Micrsft, but we recmmend yu have n mre than 500 emplyees if using this editin. The Prfiler feature is nt available in this editin. 2. Visit and use the search t find SQL Server Express (a free dwnlad). 3. Once yu have the dwnlad file saved t yur server, access it lcally (nt frm the netwrk), right-click the SQLEXPR*.exe file, and select t Run as administratr. 4. Select Install SQL Server Express Editin and prceed with the installatin.

Custmer Supprt cannt assist with this cnversin prcess. If yu attempt this prcess withut help frm a certified cnsultant r Sage Prfessinal Services Grup (PSG), it is utside f the scpe f supprted installatins. The cnversin prcedures cnsist f installing Sage HRMS, cnverting yur existing Sage Abra Suite Visual FxPr data t Sage HRMS SQL Server data, and changing the data surce fr custm reprts frm Abra Data Access t Sage HRMS Data Access. T cnvert frm Sage Abra Suite versin 9.2 Nte: Yu must have administratr rights t install this upgrade and perfrm the cnversin. 1. Install Sage HRMS. See Installing Sage HRMS. Yu must install the server as well as all remte clients. Yu can install Sage HRMS n the same server machine as yur Sage Abra Suite versin (this is called a side-by-side). 2. When server and client installatins are cmplete, yu must nw upsize yur data. This cnverts yur HR-nly database frm Visual FxPr t SQL Server. See Using the Upsize Wizards fr FxPr t SQL Server Cnversin. 3. If yu are using Abra Link r custm Visual FxPr databases (such as fr third-party applicatins), yu must nw upsize yur Abra Link and custm data.

Cntact Sage HRMS Prfessinal Services Grup r yur certified business partner fr assistance with cnverting yur payrll database t Sage HRMS. Database structure changes When yu run the Data Upsizing Wizard, the structure f the database changes as fllws: An integer type field named ID_Cl is added t all tables that are autmatically ppulated. The field value increments by ne each time a new recrd is added. All date types are cnverted t date/time types. T avid cnflict with T-SQL, all field names that are T-SQL-reserved wrds (desc, rule, table, and grup), are cnverted t fdesc, frule, ftable, and fgrup. When upsizing t a SQL Server r SQL Server Express database: The Custm Details tables in the custm flder (such as TKSCREEN.DBF and TKTABLES.DBF) are added t the database. If any errrs ccur during the upsize, a message is displayed when the upsize is finished. If the table already exists in the target database, it is drpped and upsized again. The table belw shws the data type cnversins frm Visual Fx Pr t SQL Server. Sage HRMS 2015 Installatin Guide - 17
