5 To build or update the table structure for Orchestrator, install or update the database.
Option Description
Install the database
Configures a new database.
Update the database
Uses the database from your previous Orchestrator installation.
After the database is populated, you can reset the database access rights to db_dataread and
db_datawrite.
6 Click Apply changes.
NOTE If you change the Orchestrator database after configuring and installing the default plug-ins, click
the Troubleshooting tab and force plug-in reinstallation by clicking the Reset current version link. This
operation deletes the install_directory \app-
server\server\vmo\plugins\_VSOPluginInstallationVersion.xml file, which holds the version of the
plug-ins already installed, and forces plug-in reinstallation.
The database configuration is successfully updated. On the Database tab, the red triangle changes to a green
circle to indicate that the component is now configured correctly.
Database Connection Parameters
To establish a connection to the database, you must specify the database connection parameters. Depending
on the type of database you are connecting to, the required information may vary.
Table 9-6 lists the connection parameters that you must specify.
