SQL Server Database Installation Values

The number of simultaneous database connections

This value is written to the Lawson ladb.cfg file, which contains parameters for Lawson database access. The default value provides a minimum configuration for installation purposes. You can tune values in ladb.cfg when the Lawson installation is complete.

Choose the database to use for this data area

The choices you see depend on what the installation program detects in the PATH variable on the Lawson server machine. If you do not see the database you plan to use in the list of choices, verify that the directory containing the command to start the database appears in your PATH.

The user ID to use when connecting to SQL Server

Depending on how you configured SQL Server, this value can either be a user defined in SQL Server or a Windows domain\user that has been set up with SQL Server permissions to create tables.
