Display Login Dialog at Startup
If checked the dialog box in figure 2 appears every time at the startup of the MonitorWare Console application. If unchecked it will directly take you into the Monitorware Console main application without displaying Figure 2.
Figure 2: Main dialog
Note: The dialog in Figure 2 would appear irrespective of the setting of the above checkbox if:
| 1.) | The underlying database used by MonitorWare Console needs to be updated.
|
| 2.) | MonitorWare Console can't connect to the underlying database.
|
| 3.) | Login and Password aren't correct.
|
| 4.) | If the Base Product has expired.

DSN
This field is mandatory. This will point to the DSN of the database which will store all the settings related to the MontitorWare Console . And later on this will work as the underlying database to which MonitorWare Console is connected.
Edit
This option opens up a dialog box for creating the DSN. A dialog similar to the one displayed opens where you can configure the settings according to your environment.
Figure 3: Dialog Box to create a DSN
Once the provider and the connection has been selected, Test Connection button can test whether the connection with the specified database has been established or not.
If the dialog box, as shown in figure 4, is displayed, it means that the connection with the specified database has been set up properly and the user can proceed further by pressing the OK button
Figure 4: Success dialog
On the other hand, if a dialog box appears which means that there is something wrong and the connection with the mentioned database has not been established, please re-check all your settings.
User Name
This option allows you to configure the User Name for connecting to the database.
Password
This option allows you to configure the Password for connecting to the database.
Note: If you had created the DSN with the "Windows Integerated Security", then you don't need to give any user name or password.
Debug Options
You have several debug options available here. First off you can create separate debug logs either for the MonitorWare Console Client and/or for the Job Manager Service. Each one has the same set of options. When the little checkbox is marked you can configure the debug output. You can specify where those logs should be saved and you can choose the type of message that is to be logged (e.g. only simple info messages, warnings and errors or the full pack of everything in detail). This option is quite useful for troubleshooting and is especially important for our support.
