I am trying to test the deployment of the security tables to my test server from which the application runs.  I setup a profile in the DDT, then began the wizard.  After selecting Role Based Security Type for the DDT, I was then asked about the source DB.  Of course, this is the local SSE2005 database used only by my development environment.  That was no problem.  When I go to the next window, I am asked about the destination database.  The drop down list is not populated.  I cannot choose anything.  I clicked finished anyway (knowing I would get an error) and I received an error box with the typical object not found error.  I clear the error window and now I am stuck on the wizard.  I cannot cancel, break, esc or anything.  Time to kill the process.

What do I need to do to fill that list of potential destinations?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill.

Have you added a Database into your newly created DDT profile? Either choose New Database from the Profile menu, or right-click on the left pane and choose New Database, if this is the case.

Hope it helps.

Yep, Ivan is correct.  You need to have a database in your profile before you can import the security table structures and data.

Thanks, Ivan and Ben!

I created the database that will store my schema and data for the roles and security.  I ran the Deployment Package Wizard.  It seems like the DDT has done something, although I am not sure what it is exactly.  Now, I would like to actually deploy this database to my SQL Server.  How do I do that?  When I choose the option "Deploy to Server" from the toolbar (seems like the logical thing to do), I am presented with a wizard.  I fill in the SQL Server data to which I want to deploy the package, then click next.  The database target names is empty.  Is this a bad thing?  Should I proceed, anyway?  Is there some help doc that talks about these steps?

Thanks, again,
Bill

The database target names is empty.

Hey Bill.

That's strange. It should be populated with the Database(s) name(s) created in the project. Sorry if this is a silly question, but are you sure you have a Database created in the profile you are trying to deploy?

Sorry Bill, forgot to mention.

There is a whole lot of info on the Help file under "Database Deployment Toolkit".

I went ahead and clicked next on the empty grid.  It didn't do anything, even though it said it created the metadata.  Nothing is in my database.

I did it again to see what would happen.  Now, the grid is filled on the same step in the wizard.  Odd.  I clicked next, and, wham! I got a lot of good activity until this error shows up:

"Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Master'.  No entry found with that name.  Make sure that the name is entered correctly."

It looks like it created the database, added the tables, but it bombed on the views.

Btw, I cannot find anything about this deployment procedure anywhere in the docs.  There is a lot of stuff, but I am coming up blank on help regarding the actual deployment to the server.  Maybe it has a name that is different than I expect.

Thanks,
Bill

Here's what I think is happening...the database table is named 'master', not 'Master'.  The casing is wrong.  This is not something that I am able to fix.  What can I do, now?
