4. For new installations of DTP and databases, click Create and a database, structure, and default user with appropriate privileges will be created. 
   You can also execute the database creation process as separate steps in the Advanced section (for new DTP and database installations):
   1. Click Create DB to create a database and default user with appropriate privileges.
   2. Click Create DB Structure execute to execute database configuration processes specific to DTP.

   If you have already created a database, created a default user, and granted the user privileges, you can click Create DB Structure in the Advanced section to execute database configuration processes specific to DTP. 

   Info
   title Existing Parasoft Users
   The processes executed by click Create and Create DB will fail if the Parasoft default "dtp" user already exists. In this rare scenario, you can manually create the database and users and click Create DB Structure. Alternatively, you can drop the "dtp" user before clicking Create or Create DB.

5. Restart DTP Server and Data Collector services. See Starting DTP Applications.
