Note
This is not a migration tool. It is a connection tool, that enables swapping between back-
end databases. Any existing data will not be transferred/ migrated between the
databases, and any existing Filestores will be cleansed by the Clean-up Service after the
swap.
Note
When a different back-end database is selected, the changes won't apply until after
PlanetPress Connect is restarted, including the Connect services. A full machine restart
would be recommended, as this provides the cleanest restart.
l
Basic Connection Settings selections:
l
Database vendor: Select the back-end database vendor type from drop down list.
Note
Moving from one vendor database to another will revert all screen selections
to defaults, regardless of what may have been previously selected.
l
Database URL: This is a read-only summation of the current database connection
settings.
Tip
If the Test Connection button shows that the database cannot be
successfully connected to using the selected settings, then the contents of this
field could be used to try to connect to the database outside of PlanetPress
Connect, to allow refining of acceptable connection options.
l
Hostname: Enter the IP Address or alias of the server where database resides.
