1 Introduction
This installation guide covers the installation of MIKE OPERATIONS 2019.2 and related
Modules (MIKE WORKBENCH, MIKE INFO) and required 3rd party software

MIKE OPERATIONS and MIKE INFO can be deployed in different ways – ranging from a
personal installation to a corporate installation.

1. Personal installation, which allows users to work in a network independent mode on

their desktop. This requires the installation of a database on the local computer;

2. Corporate installation, which allows for an office to have multiple installations

(clients) all working against a central database.

3. Web installation, which allows for an organisation to access MIKE OPERATIONS

over the Internet.

This installation guide describes the installation process for all the different deployment
patterns and required associated 3rd party software.

Installation of MIKE OPERATONS Web and MIKE INFO Web are described in a separate
installation guides.

Important information: Please be aware that all MIKE software (including the DHI
License Manager) on the same computer must be installed with the same service pack.
This is due to the dependencies between MIKE software products and our wish to use
the latest and technically most advanced development systems.

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 1

Versions accepted by MIKE OPERATIONS can be maintained in the file

“[Link]” of the MIKE OPERATIONS installation folder.

2. A MIKE Zero 2019 Update 1 or MIKE SDK 2019 Update 1 installation. In case none
of those are installed before running the MIKE OPERATIONS 2019.2 installation,
MIKE SDK 2019 Update 1 will be installed together with MIKE OPERATIONS
2019.2.

3. The DHI License Management application. It is included in the MIKE OPERATIONS

installer.

4. .NET framework 4.7.2

3 MIKE OPERATIONS Installation/Upgrade
MIKE OPERATIONS 2019.2 is installed by running the [Link] program coming with
the installation media. The installation process consists of two parts.

1. Installation of possible required MIKE 2019 components – only applicable if there is

no MIKE Zero installation present.

2. Installation of MIKE OPERATIONS 2019.2 software files including MIKE Workbench,

MIKE INFO, MIKE OPERATIONS desktop and PostgreSQL + PostGIS

Installation of MIKE OPERATIONS 2019.2 software file is simple and requires no user
interactions beyond accepting the license conditions and specifying the installation folder

The following table explains how to install or upgrade MIKE OPERATIONS, MIKE
WORKBENCH, MIKE INFO and required 3rd party software.

If you are installing MIKE OPERATIONS for the first time, PostgreSQL 11.2 and PostGIS
2.5 will be installed by default. If you want to use a different version, follow the “upgrade”
steps and go to APPENDIX A.

• Internet License

• Network License
• Local License
(dongle)

Note: All Users must be

ticked to allow for job
execution

Please look in the

documentation found by
clicking the Help button or
contact your local MIKE Sales
representative

5 Set Up Database
Once the software is installed for the first time, it is required to set up a database. This
includes connecting to a database file or server, creating a database and making a
database connection.

5.1 Connecting to a database

From your Windows client machine, launch Database Manager Utility, this can be
located by going to the Start menu and search for Database Manager Utility.

MIKE OPERATIONS support three types of database.

5.1.1 Connecting to PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is the recommended database to use with MIKE OPERATIONS.

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 9

 Instructions Screen

Click the server name to expand

the server tree and select the
server type as PostgreSQL.

Selecting a database server

type in the menu will open the
login dialog, where you are
prompted to insert some
connection parameters.

• Name of computer running

the database: localhost

• The communication port:

5432

• Name of the user: postgres

(keep as default)

• Password of the user:

established during
installation

• The path to database

server tools: keeps as
default

Click Ok to establish the connection, and to get the list of databases on the server listed
in the log screen.

5.1.2 Connecting to SQLite (Freeware)

SQLite database is a file based database (similar to Microsoft Access). This can
accessed be by on user at the time. This database is the only one supported by the
Freeware version and should be used only for testing purposes.

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 10

 Instructions Screen

Click the server name to expand

the server tree and select the
server type as SQLite.

Selecting a where the database

file will be created.

Click Ok

Wait until the connection is

established.

5.1.3 Connecting to Oracle

MIKE OPERATIONS can work with Oracle database but the GIS information is not
supported.

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 11

5.2 Create a new MIKE OPERATIONS database
It is now required to create a new database.

Instructions Screen

Click on the database node, and

select “New”

Give a name (e.g. NAPA) to the

new database and click Create.

Wait until the database has

been created and close the
application.

The log depends on the type of

database used.

In the case of an SQLite

database, ensure the file was
created locally.

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 12

5.3 Connect to MIKE OPERATIONS database
Finally, a database connection must be created in MIKE WORKBENCH.

Instructions Screen

When opening MIKE

WORKBENCH, a connection
window appears

Click “Setup…”

A connection manager them

allow you to create a connection

Click “Add…”

For PostgreSQL, you should

define the Server name. In the
current example, we work with a
database installed locally and
the Server name should be set
to “localhost”.

The Database entry should

match the name provided in
chapter 5.1

For SQLite, you should define

the path to the sqlite file.

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 13

 Instructions Screen

Connection Name can be any

unique name you chose.

Click OK

The newly created connection

appears in the list.

Click Close

The Connection menu now

shows the newly created
database connection.

By default, the pre-configured

administrator account is called
“admin”. The password is
“dssadmin”

This should be changed after

logging in to the system.

Click “Login”

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 14

6 Updating Existing Database

If you are doing an update, you should ensure the database version and the MIKE
OPERATIONS version are consistent. Indeed, from one version to another one, the
database schema usually evolved.

The database must be updated with the Database Utility.

After connecting to your PostgreSQL database server, you should select “Update”.

Finally, you should select the database to update.

Beware that after updating the database, MIKE OPERATIONS users working with the
earlier version of the software will not be able to use the database. After the database
has been updated everybody using the database should update the client.

7 Database Server Update

This chapter concerns users:

- Installing MIKE OPERATIONS on a computer different from the database

server
- Upgrading MIKE OPERATIONS on a computer different from the database
server
- Updating a database with Database Management Utility from a computer
different from the database server

© DHI - MIKE OPERATIONS Installation Guide 2019.2 15

 From version 2017.5, the Mesh Database was implemented in MIKE OPERATIONS. This
requires a specific dll to be located on the database server. The installer and the
Database Management Utility will copy automatically is PostgreSQL is installed locally.
In the case PostgreSQL is not installed locally, the user will need to carry out the
following steps to ensure MIKE OPERATIONS works correctly:
- Locate and copy the file called “DHI_mesh.dll” in the MIKE OPERATIONS bin
folder1
- Log in to the computer on which the database server is installed (PostgreSQL)
- Paste the file to the “lib” folder of the PostgreSQL installation2.

1 E.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\DHI\2019\MIKE OPERATIONS\bin\PostgreSQL

2 C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\lib (or relevant DB folder)

APPENDIX D: Troubleshooting

Event Manager will not start ([Link])

If the DHI Event Manager is not starting during the installation, the installation cannot
complete and will roll back.

The following stack trace can be found in the Windows Event Viewer.

 Template_postgis_20 does not exist
After making a fresh installation of MIKE OPERATIONS, when trying to create a new
database, if you receive an error message mentioning a missing database model
“template_postgis_20”, it means that PostGIS was not installed correctly.

The solution is to reinstall PostGIS (see APPENDIX A). The download file can be found
online.
