If the Service User Does Not Have Permissions to Create the Database

The following steps should be performed by a person with the necessary permissions to create a database and run scripts on SQL Server (e.g., DBA):

• Manually create the database (default name: IrisDB). Any other name can be used.
• If a different database name is used, update the SQL script in the MSSqlScripts folder (located in the Iris installation directory):
  – Modify the first command: update USE [IrisDB] to use the chosen database name.
  – Modify the last command: update ALTER DATABASE [IrisDB] SET READ_WRITE to reflect the new database name.
• Execute the SQL script to create the necessary tables.
