These SQL Server instances will be: REMOTE_DB_SERVER\MYINST1
and REMOTE_DB_SERVER\MYINST2. This can also be viewed in the
SQL Server group of the SQL Enterprise Manager. If the remote database
system’s SQL Enterprise Manager does not have a complete list of all the
SQL Server instances on the system, register these non-default instances so
that they are displayed in the SQL Server group.
Connecting IT Assistant to the Remote Database
To connect the IT Assistant to the Remote Database:
1
On the management station, navigate to the IT Assistant installation
directory and edit the configuration file,
dconfig.ini
, by replacing each
(local)
string with the name of the SQL Server that resides on the
remote database system. You can find the string under the sections
[ITAssist_Odbc_Attributes] and [Master_Odbc_Attributes].

If the IT Assistant database resides in the default instance of the SQL
Server, IT Assistant database will be
<name of the database server>
. If the
IT Assistant database resides in a non-default instance of the SQL Server,
for example
MYINST1
, then the IT Assistant database will be
<name of
the database server>

-- in case of
default instance
Attribute3=Server,
<name of the database server>
\MYINST1 -- in case of
named instance
