    Starting JTL-Wawi for the first time

    Your task/initial situation

    You have successfully installed JTL-Wawi and are starting the programme for the first time. You now want to complete the first setup tasks.

    First start of programme

    When you first open JTL-Wawi, you will be asked to make several settings. When starting JTL-Wawi for the first time, the database administration will open. Here, you can specify settings for tenants, i.e. databases. Tenants in JTL-Wawi are separate databases that are not dependent on each other. In general, a tenant cannot access the data of another tenant. If you want to manage several companies in JTL-Wawi, this is also possible within a single tenant due to the multi-company capability.

    Please note: If you have several companies that are registered as separate companies in the commercial register, think carefully about how the relationship between the businesses should be mapped. Sometimes it is easier to add an individual tenant for each registered company and to use the multi-company capability only for two different online shops of the same company.

    Profiles

    The first window that opens is “Profile”. You need to configure a profile that is used to access the different tenants.

    Name: Assign a unique name to the profile, for example “Standard”.

    Beschreibung (Description): Here, you should specify what makes the profile special, in particular if you manage several profiles.

    Servername (Server name): Here you can specify the address of the SQL server if you already know it (e.g. if you access the server through a network). In the bottom area of the window, you might see one or more servers that were automatically recognised by JTL-Wawi. If you have not yet installed a server, click Neuen SQL-Server installieren (Install new SQL Server) and follow the subsequent steps. JTL-Wawi will then download the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server and install it on your computer. You can then select the server under Profile.

    Depending on the server name, a port must also be specified as follows:

    Local installation on an individual workstation

    In case of an installation on an individual workstation, the database server and JTL-Wawi are running on the same computer. Enter the following value into the server field:

    localhost\JTLWAWI
    If you select the standard profile, the server name is already preselected for a local installation.

    Installation on multiple workstations

    If you have chosen installation on multiple workstations, the installation is usually performed on a separate computer. This results in the following server name:

    SERVER,Port\JTLWAWI
    • Server: Name of the computer on which the database server has been installed.
    • Port: ID of the TCP/IP port used by the SQL server to communicate via the network
    • JTLWAWI: The instance name that was assigned during the installation of the database server.

    If you are planning to perform an installation on multiple workstations, please read the tutorial on Installing JTL-Wawi on multiple workstations.

    JTL-Database Hosting

    JTL-Database Hosting provides the highest possible flexibility. The database server is installed on a computer/server, which can be accessed via the Internet. This means that you can access JTL-Wawi virtually anywhere, provided that there is an Internet connection with a speed of at least 6.000 kb. You will receive all necessary settings for the JTL-Database Hosting with the order confirmation from JTL.

    Login

    After you have set up the profile, you must enter the password from the SQL server installation. If you used the JTL standard installation package and did not change the password, the password is:

    sa04jT14
    Please note that the standard password has already been used for various installations of JTL-Wawi and is therefore not secure! Ideally, you used your own password when installing the SQL server.

    Tenant overview

    After you have entered the password, the tenant overview will open. If you had already installed JTL-Wawi, you will be shown an overview of all tenants, i.e. databases, at this point. You can either create a new tenant or edit an existing one.

    If JTL-Wawi was started for the first time, you will be notified that no “eazybusiness” database exists yet and will now be installed automatically. Click OK to confirm the message and Weiter (Next) to install the “eazybusiness” database. You are free to use the expert settings to install the database. We recommend changing the settings only if you possess sufficient background knowledge.

    It is imperative that you create the eazybusiness database, as it is the basis for every installation of JTL-Wawi.

    After you have created the “eazybusiness” database, you can close the database administration and start JTL-Wawi. The Setup wizard opens.
