Change database connection

The database connection information for the selected trace line is securely stored in an encrypted format and can be easily maintained from the Administrators Toolbox action menu. If the username or password, or both need to be changed, select the trace line that requires the change, and select Database Connection from the Action menu. Populate the new username and password and press OK.

For troubleshooting, the connection string can be entered in plain text in the configuration file for the trace line. The file is named "TraceEngine.Cfg" and can be found in the configuration folder of the trace line. Either add or uncomment the line and populate the values for user id, password, database (Initial Catalog) and database server (Data Source):

• .STORAGE:DSN = Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=;Initial Catalog= Trace-M3TEnnnPPP;Data Source=

• The .STORAGE:DSN configuration value will take presence over any incorrect or malformed encrypted connection string.
