5.2 Sentinel Database Patch Installation on SQL Server
The following steps must be performed on the machine with a Microsoft SQL Server database to
prepare the database for 6.1.1.0. There is one main patch script for SQL Server (PatchDb.bat).
There are several prerequisites for applying the SQL Server patch.
The patch must be copied to the machine that is running the Sentinel database.
The patch must be run by using the Sentinel Database User credentials, or esecdba if you are
using SQL Authentication.
Use the appropriate instructions depending on whether the database uses Windows authentication or
SQL Server authentication.

5.2.1 Installing Database Patch with Windows Authentication
To install the database patch with Windows authentication, you need the credentials for the Sentinel
Database User.
1
Log into the database machine as the Windows Domain user who is the Sentinel Database User.
2
Shut down the Sentinel Server processes (if this has not already been done).
3
Extract the Service Pack zip file (if this has not already been done).
4
Open a command prompt.
5
Change directories to the following directory under the extracted Service Pack directory:
db_patch\bin
6
Enter the
.\PatchDb.bat
command.
7
Follow the prompts and enter the following information:
Hostname or static IP address of the SQL Server Sentinel Database machine.
SQL Server Database instance name, if any.
Port number of the SQL Server database.
Name of the SQL Server database to patch (
ESEC
by default).
1 for the Windows Authentication option.
After you press
Enter
the final time, the script verifies the entered information and
proceeds if authentication is successful.
8
After the script has done applying the patch, check for any errors. If there are errors, resolve the
errors and re-run the PatchDb utility.
9
After the patch runs with no errors, “Sentinel” services should be restarted.
