2020.2

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 Database Configuration Page will detect which database type
was set before (especially if the database 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 Database 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 Database Configuration page will offer
additionally the Microsoft SQL Server database 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361 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.
