Set up MobileTech Administration

The user who logs on to MobileTech Administration must be a member of the DYNGRP SQL Server role for each company database and for the DYNAMICS (your database may have a different name) database. To install database objects or create the middle-tier database, you must log on with the SQL Server "sa" account.

When you create a middle-tier database in MobileTech, a daily cleanup job is automatically set up for the database. For more information about this job or how to specify when it runs, see Create a cleanup job for the middle-tier database. 

Any time you log on to MobileTech Administration and the version number of MobileTech Administration is higher than the last time you logged on for a company, the page to install database objects opens. You must install database objects for each company.

If you are not prompted to install database objects, go to Tools > Create MobileTech Objects, and then choose Process.
