Updating With No Local MySQL Product
l When updating a Connect installation from 1.5.0 which contains a Server Product but no
local MySQL Product, the DB Configuration Page will detect which db type was set
before (especially if the db configuration was switched from MySQL to MS SQL using the
Server Configuration Tool), and default to those settings.
l On Update from 1.4.2 or earlier, the DB Configuration Page will always default to MySQL
connection settings, and if the installation was manually tweaked to connect to MS SQL
Server, the user has to switch to "Microsoft SQL Server" type and enter connection details
again.
When modifying Connect
l If local MySQL is removed from an installation, the DB Configuration page will offer
additionally the Microsoft SQL Server db type with respective default values.
l If local MySQL is added to an installation, the usual MySQL Configuration page with
default values will be displayed.
If the user has installed the Installer Supplied MySQL and then switches to an external
Microsoft SQL by using the Server Configuration Tool, the supplied MySQL cannot be switched
off. By design the installer adds a service dependency between Connect Server and the
supplied MySQL service.
Note
The Microsoft SQL selection capability will be available only with 1.6 version and upwards.
To remove this dependency the user needs to do the following
1. Have a foreign Microsoft SQL running, ready for use with Connect Server.
2.
Use the Server Configuration Tool "Database Connection preferences" on page337 to
switch the database to Microsoft SQL.
3. Re-start the Connect Server Service, so that the modifications become active.
4. Counter check that everything is working properly with Microsoft SQL.
5. Open a command-line prompt with full administration rights.
