1. Remember the good old times ?

7. .NET 2.0
...2.3
Master
Sidexis 1.6
Patch 2.22
SQL Server
Galaxis
ODBC
XP Pro SP2

8. Windows XP Pro operating system with all current bug fixes
Windows XP Pro operating system with all current bug fixes. Service Packs are essentially Bug Fixes. A good admin will keep Windows
on the newest version but it is good to
have SP2 on your stick…
Any modern PM system will need XP Pro
SP2. ( Eaglesoft, Dentrix, Dolphin…)
(This is the ONLY prerequisite for Sidexis).
XP Pro SP2
An expansion of internal functionality
that make life easier for programmers
because they rely less on hardware
features.
Can be downloaded from Microsoft or
will be installed during Sidexis (SQL)
install.
Required 2.0, newest Version 3.0 Again, most modern programs will need
this add-on. (Galileos).
.NET 2.0

9. Master\Central Station
Client
Workstation

10. where images can be taken
Master Station
- Myth Buster
Has nothing to do with
where PDATA is located
==>
Has nothing to do with
where SQL is located
==>
Has nothing to do with
where images can be taken
==>
Has nothing to do with from where
system settings can be changed
==>

11. Master Station ==> ==>
It is by default the first workstation that was
installed (just because nobody knows if
there will be any client at all)
==>
==>
In the future will be responsible
for future updates.
This is the ONLY difference !!!

12. Master Station Client ! Unless you are doing some upgrades to
Sidexis 2.4 or 2.5 in the far future,
there is no difference in functionality between
Master and Clients.
In fact, in ten seconds you can switch any
station to be a Master.
(Without any gain, for now). !

13. Sidexis XG 1.61 and higher Sidexis with “active” SQL database
Patch 2.22
...2.2
Sidexis 1.61
Sidexis XG “old Style” Sidexis with “passive” Access database
Sidexis XG and higher Sidexis with “active” SQL database
Sidexis XG 2.0 and higher Sidexis with “active” SQL database and 3D support
Sidexis XG 2.22 patch and higher Sidexis with “active” SQL database, 3D and
XIOS support

14. ODBC ODBC: (Open Database Connectivity)
Is basically a driver that can be found in
all Windows systems. It provides a uniform
interface for different databases like
Access or SQL
The ODBC manager only contains “pointers” to databases, not the database itself. (pointers can be deleted or created without affecting the database itself).

15. Both locations are TOTALLY independent from each other
Database engine:
Data location:
SQL = Patient list
PDATA = Images
Both locations are TOTALLY independent from each other

16. SQL Server
- Gotcha:
The Backup of a SQL server needs special attention: The files cannot be “just copied” to another drive.
Backup systems normally provide tools for SQL – Backup.
Sirona provides a tool NGSQLBackup to facilitate the above “just copy”
problem by making snapshots file of the database.

17. Security, Rights & Install issues
Log in as administrator during install !
Turn off firewalls and virus scanner during install !
Check Windows version before start of the setup !
Make sure that all users that will be using the system are known to all PCs
with the correct (same) password. Domain -> automatically the case, still there can be different rights for different
users. Work group -> Every user has to be entered into every computer with
appropriate profile:
The use of “no passwords” is discouraged ! You are asking for HIPAA but have
no passwords ???
If you are asked for any passwords during install or have to map drives, something
is wrong already!
