Important: We recommend that a database administrator or person with general knowledge of database administration performs the database
setup and configuration.
Silk Test Workbench stores and accesses test assets stored in a database configured for use with
Silk Test Workbench. This section describes how to configure the following SQL Server databases to use as a
Silk Test Workbench database.
For information about new features, supported platforms, and tested versions, refer to the
Release Notes.
SQL Server Requirements
A SQL Server database configured for use with
Silk Test Workbench has the following requirements:
- Each computer running
Silk Test Workbench must be able to access the computer where the SQL Server database resides and have a new data source configured.
-
Silk Test Workbench must be installed on all computers accessing the database.
- The
Silk Test Workbench database connection file must be configured to point to the SQL Server database.
- The user that is used to connect to the SQL Server database must have the
VIEW_SERVER_STATE permission on the database.
Note: Silk Test cannot use 64-bit DSNs. You can review the default DSNs and ODBC drivers for 64-bit machines using the WOW64 tools, which
are located at
C:\Windows\SysWow64.

Silk Test Workbench database, refer to the
Silk Test Workbench Help.
