The installer log has the below description:



Product Line
PME4DC
PME4HC with EPSS

Environment
PME4DC installer
PME4HC with EPSS installer

Cause
SQL permissions are not allowing the installer to create the EPSS_DataCollector and apply appropriate database mappings.

Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*

If the SQL policies are blocking the creation of SQL user EPSS_DataCollector, the user can be created manually by logging into SQL server management studio and following the below steps:

• Open SQL Server Management Studio, and connect to the appropriate Power Monitoring Expert SQL instance.
• Open security-->right click on "Logins" and select "New Login".
• Under the general page, create a login where login name is <computer name>\EPSS_DataCollector. Make sure SQL Server authentication is selected.
• Under "Server Roles", select "Public".
• Under "User Mapping" make sure the user is mapped to the databases;
  • ION_Data, with User "EPSS_DataCollector" (do not map <computername>\EPSS_DataCollector) and Default Schema set to "dbo". Make sure the database role membership is set for "db_datareader", "EPSS_DataCollectorAccess" and "Public"
  • ION_Network, with User "EPSS_DataCollector" (do not map <computername>\EPSS_DataCollector) and Default Schema set to "dbo". Make sure the database role membership is set for "db_datareader" and "Public"
    
  • 
  • ApplicationModules, with User "EPSS_DataCollector" (do not map <computername>\EPSS_DataCollector) and Default Schema set to "dbo". Make sure the database role membership is set for "AMApplicationRole" and "Public"
    
• After the login is created, close SQL server management studio and rerun the installer.
