Installing Performance Store in less than a minute

SQL Server port

When entering a SQL Server for the Performance Store database, a port number must also be given. A SQL Server can contain multiple ports, so chose the port for the primary use.

If not knowing the port, the available ports can be found on the SQL Server with this:

select distinct c.local_tcp_port
from sys.dm_exec_connections c
where c.local_net_address is not null
and c.protocol_type = 'TSQL'

SQL Server licensing model

When Performance Store calculates the number of SQL Server licenses needed, the calculations are different based on if Microsoft Software Assurance is used or not.

All values can be changed at a later time in the Performance Store Control Center.

Start menu shortcuts

After installing Performance Store, shortcuts can be found in the Start Menu:

For usage after installation, see the Quick Start Guide.

Upgrading

Performance Store is easily upgraded through the Performance Store Installer executable. The installer will make sure all components will be upgraded if necessary.

To check for new updates, use the Performance Store Control Center:

Uninstallation

Performance Store is easily removed again from Programs and Features in the Windows Control Panel, or the Performance Store Installer executable:

Uninstallation

Note, if trying to uninstall, and the Performance Store database or SQL Server is not available, a forced uninstall can be done by executing: “PerformanceStoreInstaller.exe” -u
