5. Creating Databases

5.1 Create Application-Specific DB Logins

Start SQL Server Management Studio and login to the database as DB Administrator.
Create Login names:
elproMonitorDBUser
elproEventDBUser
elproUserDBUser

5.1.2. Procedure to create new Login names

Carry out these 5 steps for each of the three Login names.

Right-click <server name> → Security → Logins → New Login… to open the window to create a new user.
Select the option SQL Server authentication, enter <Login name> under Login name:, and enter a password (e.g. elpro).
Alternatively select Windows authentication and then select the required Windows User. Finally omit the next two steps.
Untick the following checkbox:
- User must change password at next login

IF THE OPTION "ENFORCE PASSWORD EXPIRATION" IS SELECTED, IT MAY CAUSE THE APPLICATION TO FREEZE IF YOU FAIL TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD IN GOOD TIME.

4. Left-click on Server Roles and tick the checkboxes for public in the list.

5. Create login by clicking OK.

5.2. Setting up elproMONITOR

5.2.1. Create the New elproMONITOR Database

Start SQL Server Management Studio and login to the database as DB Administrator.
Right-click Databases → New Database.
Enter the database name under Database name. (e.g. elproMONITOR)
If required, change DB Owner and the memory location for the database file and the database logfile (under Path).
Create database by clicking on OK.

5.2.2. Create New Main User in elproMONITOR Database

Start SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the database as DB Administrator.
Right-click <server name> → Databases → <elproMONITOR> → Security → Users → New User… to open the window to create a new user
Define the database user on the General page. As login name, use the previously entered, application-specific login name for elproMONITOR.

for freshly upgrading an existing older elproMONITOR installation to 3.x+ version:
ELPRO.elproMONITOR.RemoveDuplicateNullMeasurements.sql is required to be run manually after executing CreateSchema.sql.

This script is exactly the same as the one we used for fixing an existing eM 2.2.x installation. This script is part of the installation artifact we create and can be found next to the CreateSchema.sql file and it will delete faulty measure values with timestamp of 1900-01-01 00:01:01.000 and it will also delete faulty NULL measure values where other valid measure values are present.

Right-click on this link to open the Properties window.
In the Shortcut tab, go to the Target: field and add the parameter –tenant <Configurationdirectory>
e.g. "C:\Program Files\elproEVENT<VersionNumber>\Application Folder elproEVENT.exe" -tenant "C:\ProgramData\ELPRO\License"

7. Multi-Tenant System Setup

elproMONITOR is capable of processing several tenants. This means that optionally, several elproMONITOR systems can be installed and operated in parallel on a computer system.

elproMONITOR systems run fully autonomously and completely separately from systems installed in parallel. Each system may have different program module versions. Programs and databases can each be operated by separate users so that they are protected against attacks.

Execute the following steps to set up several tenants on a computer system. Note that all name issues referring to a tenant (DB name, DB user, Service name, etc.) must be unique to ensure isolation between individual tenants.

A separate database for the elproMONITOR, elproEVENT, and elproUSER applications must be created for each tenant. Accordingly, separate DB logins and DB users must be created.
>> 5. Creating Databases
Configurations must be created in a separate configuration directory for each tenant.
e.g. C:\ProgramData\ELPRO\Tenant<TenantName>
The configuration for each tenant must be made separately using the Management Tool.
If different versions of elproEVENT and elproUSER are to be used, the corresponding libraries must also be imported to the Global Assembly Cache.
>> 6.1. Importing Libraries in Global Assembly Cache
Pro Mandant muss je eine Webapplikation in ein eigenes Webapplikationsverzeichnis kopiert werden. Dies gilt auch falls es sich um eine komplett identische Version handelt
e.g. C:\inetpub\ELPRO\Tenant<TenantName>\elproMONITOR <VersionNumber>\

Never make a difference between web application tenant names by simply changing uppercase and lowercase letters.

Each individual web application must be set up separately. In particular, each application must be mapped to a separate port and assigned to the corresponding configuration directory.
>> 6.2.2 Set up Web Client (IIS)
A separate service instance of elproMONITOR must be set up for each tenant. Here each separate Service instance must have a port applied to it (8000 is standard for the first instance). This port is first defined in the elproMONITOR database in the "Setting" table in the Keyname WcfBaseAddress entry. Secondly, the same port must be configured in the file: Web.config of the web application in the WcfBaseAddress entry.
>> 6.2.1 Set up elproMONITOR Service
Optionally, a dedicated Windows user, under which the application runs, can be set up with the appropriate access rights for each tenant.
>> 6.4 Creating and Configuring Dedicated Windows User
The database connection settings must be configured for each tenant using the elproMONITOR Management Tool.
>> 6.5.1. Start the elproMONITOR Management Tool bis >> 6.5.3 Configure Database Connection Settings for elproUSER
The program links must be set up for each tenant accordingly.
>> 6.6. elproEVENT Create Program Links

9. Operation

9.1. Start

Ensure that the Monitor Service is running and the web application was started in IIS. The applications can be started from the Windows Administrator account.
To check this, start Internet Explorer and enter the address http://localhost. The elproMONITOR login page appears. Login using the user previously created in elproUSER (for example, admin).

After service start when the web application is started for the first time, it may take more than a minute for the login dialog to appear in the browser.
When you start the Monitor Service for the first time, the elproMONITOR default settings are written to the database. You can change the settings in the dbo.Settings table of the elproMONITOR database. Please refer to the Operator's Manual for more details.

9.1.1. Enter elproUSER URL in elproMONITOR Database

Requirement: elproMONITOR Service is started!

10. elproMONITOR Management Tool

Configuring the basic settings of elproMONITOR is performed using the elproMONITOR Management Tool.

The elproMONITOR software requires a path to a so-called tenant list. When the management tool is started, specify this path as the start parameter. If you leave out the parameter, a window pops up for you to enter the path.

If other configurations already exist in this path, they are read out and displayed as defaults.

elproMONITOR is capable of handling several tenants, so several instances can be configured using a tenant list.

This procedure is always identical in elproMONITOR, elproUSER, and elproEVENT.

13. EudraLex Volume 4 - Annex 11 Compliance

If elproMONITOR is to be used in compliance with EudraLex Volume 4 - Annex 11 Revision 1, 30 June 2011, certain measures must be fulfilled.

Verweis Annex 11	Original Text	Action
Principle	The application should be validated; IT infrastructure should be qualified.	The operator is responsible for validating his system.
Principle	Where a computerised system replaces a manual operation, there should be no resultant decrease in product quality, process control or quality assurance. There should be no increase in the overall risk of the process.	The operator must carry out a risk assessment on the entire system. The risk assessment must also include processes and SOPs.
General Risk Management 1	Risk management should be applied throughout the lifecycle of the computerised system taking into account patient safety, data integrity and product quality. As part of a risk management system, decisions on the extent of validation and data integrity controls should be based on a justified and documented risk assessment of the computerised system.	The operator is responsible for conducting a risk analysis on the entire system.
General Personell 2	There should be close cooperation between all relevant personnel such as Process Owner, System Owner, Qualified Persons and IT. All personnel should have appropriate qualifications, level of access and defined responsibilities to carry out their assigned duties.	The operator is responsible for training users.
General Suppliers and Service Providers 3.4	3.4 Quality system and audit information relating to suppliers or developers of software and implemented systems should be made available to inspectors on request.	ELPRO is willing to approve audits conducted by customers. The operator is responsible for conducting audits as required.
General Project Phase 4.4	4.4 User Requirements Specifications should describe the required functions of the computerised system and be based on documented risk assessment and GMP impact. User requirements should be traceable throughout the lifecycle.	The operator must describe the system requirements.
General Project Phase 4.5	4.5 The regulated user should take all reasonable steps, to ensure that the system has been developed in accordance with an appropriate quality management system. The supplier should be assessed appropriately.	The operator must validate that a suitable quality system was used for development. ELPRO is willing to approve audits conducted by customers.
General Data Storage 7.1	7.1 Data should be secured by both physical and electronic means against damage. Stored data should be checked for accessibility, readability and accuracy. Access to data should be ensured throughout the retention period.	The operator is responsible for ensuring data storage in his IT environment, e.g. by means of backups, intrusion and malware protection, redundant hardware, etc.
General Data Storage 7.2	7.2 Regular back-ups of all relevant data should be done. Integrity and accuracy of backup data and the ability to restore the data should be checked during validation and monitored periodically.	The operator is responsible for backing up data at regular intervals. The possibility of data restoration must be validated and monitored at regular intervals.
General Change and Configuration Management 10	10. Any changes to a computerised system including system configurations should only be made in a controlled manner in accordance with a defined procedure.	The operator is responsible for carrying out changes according to a defined process.
General Periodic evaluation 11	11. Computerised systems should be periodically evaluated to confirm that they remain in a valid state and are compliant with GMP. Such evaluations should include, where appropriate, the current range of functionality, deviation records, incidents, problems, upgrade history, performance, reliability, security and validation status reports.	The operator is responsible for validating the system periodically.
General Security 12.1	12.1 Physical and/or logical controls should be in place to restrict access to computerized system to authorised persons. Suitable methods of preventing unauthorised entry to the system may include the use of keys, pass cards, personal codes with passwords, biometrics, restricted access to computer equipment and data storage areas.	The operator must guarantee that no unauthorized persons may gain access to the system.
General Security 12.2	12.2 The extent of security controls depends on the criticality of the computerised system.	The operator must carry out risk analyses for relevance.
General Incident Management 13	13. All incidents, not only system failures and data errors, should be reported and assessed. The root cause of a critical incident should be identified and should form the basis of corrective and preventive actions.	The operator must evaluate audit trails and, if necessary, escalate events by forwarding them to ELPRO.
General Electronic Signature 14	14. Electronic records may be signed electronically. Electronic signatures are expected to: a. have the same impact as hand-written signatures within the boundaries of the company, b. be permanently linked to their respective record, c. include the time and date that they were applied.	The setting ElectronicSignature = True must be set in the Settings table. Signature recognition must be regulated internally.
General Batch release 15	15. When a computerised system is used for recording certification and batch release, the system should allow only Qualified Persons to certify the release of the batches and it should clearly identify and record the person releasing or certifying the batches. This should be performed using an electronic signature.	The operator must ensure that only identified persons may release batches.
General Business Continuity 16	16. For the availability of computerised systems supporting critical processes, provisions should be made to ensure continuity of support for those processes in the event of a system breakdown (e.g. a manual or alternative system). The time required to bring the alternative arrangements into use should be based on risk and appropriate for a particular system and the business process it supports. These arrangements should be adequately documented and tested.	The operator must make sure that business continuity is ensured in case of system failure.
