Setting the Partner Admin tool database connectivity

In PAT, one database configuration must be present. To open PAT, the path set to the Environment Variables in Windows must not contain any spaces in their folder names during IEC Tools setup.
Note: Before setting up in PAT, you must retrieve any update from IEC server and tools through CCSS.
  1. Access the PA tool.
  2. Select File > Database Settings.
  3. On the Database settings window, click New to display the Create new database item window.
  4. Specify the information to use when you configure the database setting and database communication channels.
    This table shows the database fields definition and default value:
    Field Definition
    Name Specify a descriptive name for this database.
    DB URL

    Specify the URL for the JDBC connection string.

    • If the database is configured with the default port number and not installed as a named instance, use this URL format:

      jdbc:sqlserver://[host]:[port number]

    • If the database is installed as a named instance, use any of these format:

      jdbc:sqlserver://[host]:[port number]\[instance name]

      jdbc:sqlserver://[host]\[instance name]
