For MSSQL 2008 or later:

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase
 SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase
 SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON

Also note that for SQLServer the "operational" SSP database user ('ssp' in the example above) must be allowed to execute stored procedures. In most deployments this does not require special configuration, but in the event your security policies are such that that user must be explicitly granted execute permissions on specific stored procs, here are the statements which you would likely need to run. (Use 'dbo' for <schema> unless you know the value should be something else (db_schema from $SSP_CONFIGDIR/ssp-config.properties); use 'ssp' for <ssp-operational-user> unless you've chosen a different name for that account (db_username from $SSP_CONFIGDIR/ssp-config.properties).):

GRANT EXEC on <schema>.REFRESH_MV_DIRECTORY_PERSON to <ssp-operational-user>;
GRANT EXEC on <schema>.REFRESH_MV_DIRECTORY_PERSON_BLUE to <ssp-operational-user>;
GRANT EXEC on <schema>.update_directory_person_from_view_where_school_id to <ssp-operational-user>;
GRANT EXEC on <schema>.update_directory_person_from_view_where_person_id to <ssp-operational-user>;

• Use the following command to build, deploy, and initialize the SSP-Platform project:

...

• Platform project:

*** When running a database initialization ant target (initportal, initdb), you need to specify SSP_CONFIGDIR if it isn't already specified as an env var. 

E.g on *nix.... $> SSP_CONFIGDIR=/opt/ssp/sspconfig ant -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean <target> 

Most Common Commands

- Re/Initialize the SSP-Platform database, then run the equivalent of deploy-ear. Destructive! Appropriate for first-time deployments.

  $> SSP_CONFIGDIR=/opt/ssp/sspconfig ant -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean <target> 

Most Common Commandsinitportal

- Build entire uPortal (incl. all wars), and deploy entire uPortal, ant deploy-ear

- Build the full site and database, ant initportal (Warning- this will reset the entire uPortal database)


Other deployment optionsSSP-Platform portal, including SSP:

  $> SSP_CONFIGDIR=/opt/ssp/sspconfig ant -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean deploy-ear


Other commonly used ant targets:

testdb: Tests the database settings and connectivity

initdb: Drop uPortalSSP-Platform tables in the db & recreate them with configured seed data (src/main/data, not including the "quickstart" folder).

deploy-war: Build & deploy _just the uPortalSSP-Platform war_ (i.e. not SSP or other portlets, etc.).

deployPortletApp: Deploy one (already-built) portlet war file to Tomcat (example ant deploPortletApp -DportletApp=..\/SSP-Open-Source-Project/target/ssp.war)

ssp.war)

• Additional step for Microsoft SQL Server to update column types

...

• Warning
  title Delete Demo Users
  If you are deploying to a production upgrading an environment, you should delete or change the passwords for the uPortal users created for demonstration purposes, including the admin user. This can be done through the user interface: Manage Users ->  Find an Existing User -> [Enter user ID from list below] -> [Click result] -> > Delete or  or Edit, then change password. Demo users: admin advisor0 ken student0 student1 This is only necessary for upgrades. A fresh 2.5.1 install will not create these users. A fresh install should also either change the admin user's password or add some other user to the Portal Administrators group and delete the admin user.
