Errors

The AttachDatabase method may throw one of the following exceptions:

Centrify.DirectAudit.Common.Logic.AuthenticationException if you do not have permission to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server instance that hosts the management database or you do not have permission to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server instance of the audit store database to be created.
Centrify.DirectAudit.Common.Logic.ConnectDatabaseException if you cannot connect to the Microsoft SQL Server instance either because the instance is not running or does not allow remote connections.
Centrify.DirectAudit.Common.Logic.UnauthorizedException if you do not have the Manage Database permission on the audit store or you do not have the SQL Server permission to create SQL Server databases on the Microsoft SQL Server instance.
Centrify.DirectAudit.Common.Logic.AlreadyExistsException if the specified display name is already being used by another audit store database, or the specified database name is already being use by another database in the Microsoft SQL Server instance.

Discussion

Use this method if you already have a database that you want to attach to the audit store. To create a new database and attach it to the audit store, use the AddDatabase or AddDatabaseByScript method instead.

Example

The following code sample illustrates using AuditStore.AttachDatabase in a script:

...

' Attach an audit store database to the audit store
SET objAuditStoreDatabase = objAuditStore.AttachDatabase(strDatabaseName, & _
strServerName, strDatabaseName)
 
IF objAuditStoreDatabase IS NOTHING THEN
    wscript.echo "Failed to attach audit store database '" & strDatabaseName & "'." 
    wscript.quit
END IF
wscript.echo "Attached audit store database '" & strDatabaseName & "'."
