Creating an Instance

2.     Under Global Settings, specify the database connection string parameters:

This connection string will be used by services for database access.


 

 

3.     Select the Encrypt Connection String check box if you want to encrypt connection string.

4.     Select the Integrated Security check box if you want to access SQL Server via Windows Authentication. If you do so, the fields User and Password become unavailable.

5.     Click Test Connection. If connection is successful, you will be able to perform database operations.

 

NOTE

If there is no database with the specified name, create a new database.

 

6.     In the Instance Priority field, enter value to define instance priority.

7.     In the Instance License field, specify the path to the license file.

 

NOTE

This license is used only for a particular instance. To set the global license used for all instances, see Global Settings.

 

8.     Under Encryption, specify the path to the encryption file. Note: You can specify the encryption file only if the Enabled check box selected.

9.     Under Symmetric, specify the path to the private key file for checksum in symmetric mode for MS.

13.   The Database Common Time-out setting is configured manually in the config.xml file. Path to this file: C:\Program Files\Datawatch\Datawatch Server\Config\config.xml

This parameter is located in the <Database> of the <Instance>:

<Instance Name="DefaultInstance" Priority="1">

      <Database>

            …
