Where To Start
Creating a New Database
How To Adapt a Sample or Similar Database
1. Exit the MICROS e7 application.
2. Delete the ..\db directory and all of its sub-directories.
3. Delete any files in the ..\DbBackups directory.
4. Copy the sample or similar database to \\CF\micros\e7\DbBackups on the Workstation
or the \\[Install Directory]\DbBackups directory on the PC. The sample database is
located in the ..\Samples directory.
5. Make sure the database is named either backup.001.gz or backup.002.gz.
6. Restart the MICROS e7 application. A blank database is created and Configurator is
started.
7. From Configurator, select the Utilities | Restore the database option.
8. Select Yes to confirm that you want to Restore a database.
9. The database is restored.
How To Program a Blank (Shell) Database
A blank (or shell) database is an empty database with records created for only the fixedlength tables. When starting MICROS e7 after installation, the system will detect that no
database exists in the ..\db directory and create a blank database.
If you choose to start with a blank database, you must perform these steps prior to exiting
the Configurator application:
• define languages
• create a sign in touchscreen
• create a default touchscreen
• define a workstation
• define a PC (if required)
• create an authorized employee
