Database questions

Having PostgreSQL installed

Q: I already have PostgreSQL installed for Network Olympus. Do I need to install PostgreSQL again?

A: Yes. Network Olympus comes with a pre-installed version of PostgreSQL, which is not compatible with tthe version currently required by TNI. If you already have a PostgreSQL database installed, make sure it meets the minimum requirements for TNI.

Additionally, if you have Network Olympus installed on this device, you should be aware of a possible conflict involving port 5432, which is specified when installing PostgreSQL by default.

Storage conversion

Q: I already have a storage created in an earlier version of TNI. Can I convert it to a multi-user storage?

A: Conversion between different storage types is not currently supported, but you can import all assets from the old storage, including their general and special fields, into the new multi-user storage. In this case, all information stored in the assets will be transferred. To do this, install the PostgreSQL database, then create a Multi-user storage and import the folder while preserving its structure, and specify the root folder of the old storage as the source.

However, any data that is not stored in the assets will need to be added again. This includes storage settings, saved Data Transfer methods, Logins, Resident Agent Profiles, Sensors data, Network Maps, and all manually entered information in SAM mode.

Simultaneous TNI usage

Q: Can several users work with TNI at the same time?

A: Yes, by setting up the TNI Users mode and creating a Multi-User storage, multiple users can work with the storage simultaneously. Changes made in one TNI installation will be reflected in other installations in real time.

User access

Q: I’ve configured a database and assigned user roles. How can I give these users access to the TNI storage?

A: Install TNI on the users’ computers. Make sure that the users have access to the network storage folder. A multi-user storage can be accessed in the same way as a single-user storage – by selecting the storage folder in Storage Open . After that, the user will be prompted to enter their login credentials.
