Cencon Database Setup Utility Release Notes
Version 4.1.5
Changes / New Features
- Added support for using an Oracle database management system to host a Cencon database. Added support for Oracle to require only a limited access logon. Database access to Oracle no longer supports a separate schema, by customer request. The ODBC database access to Oracle must be using a default schema that contains the Cencon database.
- Updated warning for database version. SQL Server 2008 R2 and higher or Oracle 10g and higher is supported. Older database versions are not supported.
- The User must be database server admin to run CenconDBSetupUtility against Microsoft SQL.
- Added various user interface enhancements and additional data checking.
- Windows logon Userids are folded to upper case.
• Empty routes are deleted. - Remove duplicate regions.
- Duplicate Userids are deleted.
- Added additional reporting of DBMS driver and operating system.
- Added primary key to legacy configuration database table for support of hot database backups.
- Added primary key to log archive database table for support of hot database backups.
Fixed Issues
- Removed usage / support for NCrypt encryption library due to compatibility requirement back to Windows Server 2003. This limits the self signed certificate creation to older encryption libraries, which is not as secure. The requirement to continue to support Windows Server 2003 was by customer request.
- Updated Centran Configuration Manager to open Centran browser URL for management interface based on certificate name set.
- Corrected CenconDBSetupUtility not properly handling non default schema for Microsoft SQL database.
- Change table names used in uppercasing Windows logon IDs in CenconDBSetupUtility to include schema qualification as appropriate for database.

System Requirements
Note
The minimum system requirements identified for Cencon must be met in addition to whatever is required for the PC operating system and the Database Management System. Please refer to the Kaba Mas web site to review the appropriate system requirements at: www.kaba-mas.com/cencon4.
Cencon System Requirements
To use the Cencon program, the following minimum hardware and software requirements must be met:
- IBM compatible PC that is capable of running Windows and has an available USB port for the Cencon Key Box.
Note
The Cencon Key Box requires a fully compliant USB 2.0 connection. Some computers, especially laptops and notebooks, may not provide sufficient power for the Cencon Key Box. In these cases it may be necessary to use a powered USB hub to attach the Cencon Key Box. On laptops or notebooks with "power saving" features that turn off USB power, the computer's Operating System (OS) could disconnect from the Cencon Key Box. In this instance, after awakening the computer and Cencon ^® 4.1.5 software, unplug and re-plug the USB cable between the computer and the Cencon Key Box.
- 4 GB RAM
• DVD Drive if your install source is a DVD disk. The install source can be a DVD, USB drive, or download. - Hard Disk Drive with at least 50 megabytes disk space free
Important Note
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cencon, you should also allow ample disk space for database growth.
• Windows XP 32 bit Professional (Service Pack 3), Windows Vista 32/64 bit (SP 2), or Windows 7 32/64 bit
- You must be logged into Windows with Admin authority
- An installed Database Management System (DBMS) - Microsoft SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 or 2012 (including the SQL Server Express, Standard, or Enterprise Editions) or Oracle 10g or higher.
- The DBMS installation does not have to be on the same computer as Cencon. You will need to have a valid ODBC connection to the DBMS for Cencon to use.
- The above computer requirements do not include the requirements for the DBMS. If the DBMS is being run on the same computer as Cencon, then the total requirements will be the requirements of Cencon plus those of the DBMS.
- The requirements of the DBMS installation will vary depending on the number of locks and users being used by Cencon and the number of Cencon installations connected to that DBMS.
Note
If you do not have an existing Microsoft SQL Server database, you can download a free copy of the latest Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition from the Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/default.aspx You should also download and install the SQL Server Management Studio.
Be sure to read the sections on system requirements and prerequisites. Contact Kaba Mas Technical Support for additional information.
Note
The Cencon database can be installed on a virtual server as long as minimum system requirements for memory and space allocation are met.

Software Installation and Setup
Complete the following steps to install the software:
- Logon to the PC system as a user with Local Admin (or higher) rights in order to successfully install the software.
- Verify that your Windows operating system is at the latest service level. (See your Window's Help and Support function if you need assistance with this.)
Caution
Be extremely cautious in bringing the Windows operating system to the latest service level. With the release of Windows 7, running a Windows Update on a Windows Vista system will update the operating system to Windows 7.
Important
Always run Windows Update to ensure that your system is up to date before installing the Cencon software. The Cencon software requires the .NET 4 framework to be installed on your system. This can be automatically installed by running Windows Update. If your system is not up to date or the .NET 4 framework is not properly installed, the Cencon software will not operate correctly.
- Check the PC Date and Time Properties (date, time, time zone, DST adjustment setting) from the Control Panel to ensure accuracy. Adjust, if necessary, before proceeding.
Note
It is strongly recommended that you close all other applications before installing the Cencon software. It is also recommended that you review the Cencon Reference Manual before installing the software.
- If you have a previous version of Cencon installed, you should ensure that data has been archived in accordance with the customer archive requirements and then backup the current Cencon database.
- If your install source is a DVD, insert the Cencon ^ 4.1.5 Install DVD in the appropriate drive. Your install source can be a DVD, USB drive, or download. If you have autorun enabled on your system, the Cencon ^ 4.1.5 Installation screen will be displayed. Otherwise, double click Autorun.exe from the Cencon ^ 4.1.5 install source (DVD, USB drive, or download) root directory, and the Cencon ^ 4.1.5 Installation screen will be displayed.

ODBC Connection Creation for SQL Server
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standard C interface for accessing database management systems (DBMS). The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent of database systems and operating systems. An application can use ODBC to query data from a DBMS, regardless of the operating system or DBMS it uses.
ODBC accomplishes DBMS independence by using an ODBC driver as a translation layer between the application and the DBMS. The application uses ODBC functions through an ODBC driver manager with which it is linked, and the driver passes the query to the DBMS.
Important Note
If Creating a Cencon 4.1.5 database the ODBC can only be a System DSN and a user with SYSDBA privileges must be used to create the database.
If Updating a Cencon 4.1.5 database the ODBC can only be a System DSN and a user with appropriate privileges must be used to update the database.
- Go to control Panel/Administration Tools/Data Sources
- Select the System DSN tab and Click Add>

3. Select the driver and click Finish >

Type a name and type or use the drop down to select the server and instance
- Click Next>

5. Click next > no information will change on this form

When creating an ODBC connection to create a database for Cencon use Master as the default database.
Note
The Cencon Database Utility will change the ODBC accordingly when creating a new database.
Important Note
If simply adding an ODBC connection to connect to an existing Cencon database change to the appropriate database.

Database Permissions For Oracle
You will need to set up a Oracle Database user to host the Cencon database used by Cencon and Centran. Cencon and Centran must use this Oracle user name to log onto the Oracle Database using the Oracle ODBC Driver.
The Oracle user name should be set up only with the permissions needed for Cencon, Centran, and the CenconDBSetupUtility. These permissions are the minimum required by these applications. You must give the Oracle user the following minimum set of user permissions. You should not assign any additional permissions beyond those listed below.
Role:
- CONNECT
System Privillage:
- CREATE SESSION
- CREATE TABLE
- CREATE VIEW
• CREATE PROCEDURE - CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
• ON COMMIT REFRESH
Tablespaces:
Default: USERS
Temporary: TEMP
Quota:
USERS: unlimited
Status:
ACCOUNT_STATUS: unlocked
Cencon, Centran, and the CenconDBSetupUtility do not support setting a database schema for operations against an Oracle database. They will use the default schema defined by the Oracle ODBC connection you set up.
You must use the Oracle user you configured to host the Cencon database as your log with the Oracle ODBC driver.
The listed minimum permissions do not allow Cencon, Centran, or the CenconDBSetupUtility to access any Oracle database objects beyond those within the default schema. With the minimum permissions list above, Cencon, Centran, and the CenconDBSetupUtility will not have any access to any other data on your Oracle database outside of the default schema for the Oracle ODBC database connection.

Do you need to resize your database files prior to doing database operations?
If your database files are too small for the operations, it will slow the operations down while resizing the database with each operation. Increasing your database file size first will improve performance.

Start the Cencon® 4.1.5 Program
To start the Cencon ^® 4.1.5 program:
- Select the Start icon from the Windows task bar.
- Select the Programs menu item.
- Select the Cencon menu item and then the Cencon ^® 4.1.5 icon:

Initial Cencon ^® 4.1.5 Startup screen:

- If you are going to use the Cencon USB Key Box, the first task is to initialize it. Verify that the Cencon USB Key Box is plugged into any USB port on your computer and select Cencon Key Box Settings to display the Configuration Settings screen.

- Enter your Company ID.
The value entered for this field can be any complex four-digit number you wish to identify your company. You should choose a number that is, in some way, meaningful to your company. Record the Company ID and store it in a secure place.
Warning:
Record the Company ID and store it in a secure place. Once this ID is set, it becomes encrypted and it cannot be changed. If you are a branch of a larger company, you must enter the Company ID that has already been chosen for your company. If you are planning to activate locks from a remote PC, the Company ID must be the same on all systems involved in the process.
- Insert the Orange Install Key into the right Key Box reader position (the green LED on the right should be blinking) and press the Read Key Box Install Key button. The following message indicates successful initialization:

Important Note:
Remove the Key Box Install Key and store it in a safe place. You must have this key and the information on the
attached key tag if you ever need to reinstall the Cencon Key Box or order replacement parts. You have a limited number of installs associated with the Key Box Install Key.
- Select Database Connection Settings to access the dialogs which allow you to identify the appropriate Cencon database.

If the input field for Set this ODBC Connection as fixed database logon is checked, Cencon remembers the database connection for the next time the program is loaded.
- Select the button labeled Select ODBC Data Source to select the ODBC connection for the database to be used with the Cencon® 4.1.5 system.
- Select the Catalog tab if you need to modify the database catalog name:

- Select the Schema tab if you need to modify the database schema:

If using the default schema of "dbo" with one of the versions of Microsoft SQL Server, (i.e. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, 2008 R2 Express, 2012, etc) you do not have to update the schema name.
- The following window is displayed when a database is successfully identified:

- Some initialization information must be entered before using Cencon for the first time. Select the Create First Logon for New Cencon Installation icon to start the setup wizard which will walk you through this process:

- Click on Next > to continue.
The Setup Region tab allows you to set up the Region Control feature. The Region Control feature allows the grouping of users, locks, and routes into specific regions. Global data access can be given to some users while data access can be limited for other users to only the users, locks and routes in a specific region. Note that this screen does not activate the Cencon region control feature - it defines a global region and assigns it to the initial user in case the region feature is activated at a later time.

- Follow the instructions on the screen to Add an initial region.
- Click on Next > to continue:

Note
Suggested User IDs: User IDs are very critical in the Cencon System. They can be up to sixty-four (64) characters in length. However, if you are using CenTran in conjunction with your Cencon system, you need to consider that the CenTran User ID field is limited to 20 characters. Using "Bill" as a user ID is valid, however, you may have more than one "Bill" in your organization. Using "98709003" as a user ID is also valid but may get confusing. Additionally, in dispatching a person we know as "Bill" using the number "98709003" as the user ID can also be confusing. It is suggested that user IDs be alpha or alphanumeric. It is also suggested that you use "Nicknames". For example, a user can be identified as "FLM1" and use "Bill N" in the Nickname field. Another example could be a user identified as "Tom1" and use "Flemming" (last name) in the Nickname field. Spaces are allowed in ID fields so "Bill Jones" is valid. However you choose to identify users, some thought should be given to it before you begin. Case sensitivity will apply if it has been selected in SQL Server as a requirement for the database.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to create an initial user. Keep in mind that this field may be case sensitive (depending on the SQL Server settings) and recognizes spaces as well as characters.
Caution
Nicknames can be up to sixty-four (64) characters in length. However, if you are using CenTran 3.x (and below) in conjunction with your Cencon system, you need to consider that the CenTran Nickname field is limited to 10 characters. The CenTran 4.1.5 XML schema allows the use of longer names.
- Click on Next > to enter the password for the user.
Note
User Passwords are case sensitive and can be up to sixty-four (64) characters in length. Since the User Passwords for Software Users (black SS, S, and D keys) are used as logon passwords for the software, they should be kept secret.
![Create First Cencon Logon Introduction Setup Region Setup First User Password Create Cencon Logon You will need to select a password for your electronic SmartKey key logon to Cencon.

Logon to the Cencon ^® 4.1.5 System
The Cencon ^® 4.1.5 startup window controls access to configuration settings and logon:

Cencon allows a user to logon using either an authorized Special Supervisor, Supervisor, or Dispatcher key.
Note
Place the logon key in the left key position on the Cencon Key Box.
To logon using a key, select Logon to Cencon with Key. If the key is recognized as valid, enter the password as requested.

Remember that this field is case sensitive and recognizes spaces as well as characters.
Note
You cannot logon to the system using a nickname, or a user ID. You must use the password specified for the key in the key reader. The key in the key reader identifies the user trying to log onto the Cencon ^® 4.1.5 System.
Hint
If a window is displayed indicating that the User ID doesn't pass authority check, first check to make sure that the appropriate key is in the reader and that the reader is properly connected.
After a successful logon, the Cencon 4.1.5 Main Menu window is displayed. Some of the items in the below window may not be displayed on your system depending on your user authority settings.

The Status Bar is located at the bottom of the Cencon Main Menu screen. Prior to logon, this area displays the Cencon software version information. After logon, this bar displays the name of current logged on user, their assigned role, and region information (if region control is active).
Cencon® 4.1.5 Getting Started Guide
Prepare System for Operation
Before Creating Users and Activating Locks...
Depending on how you are using Cencon, certain information must be predefined so that it is available for selection during the process of creating users and activating locks. This data includes:
- Bank Branches: If you are going to create any Bank users or locks, you must first define the Bank Branches to which they will be assigned using the Bank Branch Report.
- User Types: If want to assign a customized authorization role to any new users, you need to create the new user roles before creating the users. See User Authorization for more information.
- Region Definitions: If you are going to use Region control, you should first define your regions using the Region Report.
- Customer ID: If you are going to assign a Customer ID to your users or locks, you should first define the Customers using the Customer Report.
For New Install of Cencon
The following activities must be performed to prepare the Cencon for operation.
- Add appropriate FLM, Route, and Bank users
- Activate Locks
Please refer to the Cencon Reference Manual (Document # 2071.127), found on the Cencon ^® 4.1.5 Software install source (DVD, USB drive, or download), for detailed instruction.

Appendix A - Beta Expiration
The beta versions of Cencon will be assigned an initial expiration date of 180 days past the date of creation by Kaba Mas. When the expiration date is reached Cencon will cease functioning.
The customer will be notified of the number of days left until Cencon expiration via the Cencon window title. For example

When Cencon is within 60 days of the expiration date, popup messages will be issued when the user logs into Cencon. For example

When Cencon has reached the expiration date the Cencon window title will state that the beta has expired. For example

When Cencon has reached the expiration date Cencon logon will be prohibited. When the user attempts to logon to Cencon a popup message will be issued. For example

In future Beta releases the customer will be provided with the ability to reset the Cencon expiration date as well as the date on which the warnings begin with help from Kaba Mas Technical Support.
