FTDP MSSQL Installation
The MSSQL database server records all user information and transactions. The high storage capabilities of the server eliminates the need for a conventional filing system, providing a better and paperless working environment. It is possible to install FTDP to work with MSSQL so that a 3rd party software plug-in can access the transaction data with ease.
How to install FTDP MSSQL:
1. Install FTDP > Go to Control Panel > Click on Administrative Tool > Click Data Sources (ODBC) > At the User DSN tab, click Add and select SQL Server > Click Finish.
2. Insert Name "FTDPSQL", select a MSSQL server, click Next.
3. Input MSSQL login information, click Next.
4. Check the database information and click Next.
5. Check the server and database information and click Finish.
6. Click the Test Data Source to make the connection to MSSQL is successful.
7. Go to Start -> Programs -> FingerTec -> FingerTec Data Processor -> Init MSSQL Database.
8. Input the server name, server username and server password. After that click Connect.
9. After you are connected to server, click Initialize to start init MSSQL database.
10. Click Disconnect to complete the initialize process.
11. Open FingerTec Data Process, go to Configuration -> Database Setting.
12. Click on the Provider Tab, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL server -> Next.
12. Click on the Provider Tab, select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL server -> Next.
13. In the Select or enter a server name, select the PC where the SQL server is installed.
14. Enter the Username & password, tick Allow Saving Password, and test the connection.

Hi Sir,
DeletePlease re-install the FTDP with the latest setup file and check whether still getting the error message or not.
You can download the latest setup file at http://www.mediafire.com/?xz0v7yjg6d5zzpn
If still getting the error message, kindly arrange team viewer session for us to do the remote checking. You can refer at http://www.fingertec.com/teamviewer/FT_teamviewer.html for your reference.
Finally, after so much effort in trying to get this shit to work, I got it. Gee, this makes work so much better.

DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCan the FTDP software be used in conjunction with Ingress?
Hello Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteNo, Ingress cannot work directly with FTDP, like TCMS. However you can use FTDP and Ingress independently, as both of them can be configured not to delete transaction logs from the device.
So, can Ingress and FTDP can work in parallel but have access to the same database of personnel & logs?
DeleteDear Customer,
DeleteAs mention earlier, you can installed the Ingress software and FTDP in parallel but you cannot access the personnel or logs it in the same database.

Hello, can I use FTDP for TCMSV3?
ReplyDeleteHello Stelios Mitsos,
DeleteGood day,
FTDP not supported to connect with TCMSv3 and Ingress Software.
However, you can use Webster to connect with TCMSv3 and Ingress Software.
The different FTDP and Webster, FTDP is a windows based software, however Webster is a Web based Software.
Hi,
ReplyDeletewe're trying to integrate with a fingertec 1.8.0 and installed the MSSQL as usual may we know how what needs to be done to connect to the database directly for integration? we're using heidisql to test and cant seem to connect.. thanks!
Hello Json,
DeleteGood day to you.
With regards to your query, first you need to make sure FTDP can connect to your device properly in order to download data from device.
Then all transaction data will be stored in your database (depends on which type of database you used MSSQL/Oracle).
If all above works accordingly, then you should be able to connect to your database by using HeidiSQL to integrate to your 3rd party software.

I installed FingerTec FTDP Services and connected with SQL Server Database. I set auto download transaction logs on, and it works for the first time. After sometimes it does not download transactions from my device.
