During the presentations I made at GPUG Summit in Phoenix (exhausting but satisfying!) I admitted that I had never installed GP. I find that it would be very useful for me to go through the exercise... but I'm uncertain how to proceed.
That is, when I started my new position at GLC Minerals, the laptop assigned to me had GP 2016 R2 installed, and it points to our company databases on a SQL Server (2016).
What I would like to do is to set up a GP test environment on my laptop. I have SQL Server installed already on my laptop (2016 & 2017), and I have the process to make a copy of our production databases onto a test server... but the missing piece is how to utilize the existing installation of GP 2016 R2 to point to the local installation of the GP databases.
Could someone point me to an on-line resource that explains how to expand the reach of an existing installation of GP to encompass additional SQL servers? I hope soon to be able to install GP 2018 R2 as a test environment, too... but that can wait.
Thank you very much,
