Change Database Connection

If you want to change the database connection, for example, if you want to use a restored backup with a different name, you can change the connection details using an XML file.

1. Find and open the “Connection.xml” file in your Enterprise Glossary installation folder under “AppData”.

2. Replace the four lines starting with <Server>, <Username>, <Password> and <DatabaseName> with these:

<Server>YourServer</Server>
<Username>YourUserName</Username>
<Password>YourPassword</Password>
<DatabaseName>YourDatabaseName</DatabaseName>

3. Replace the italic values with your own connection details.

4. Save the Connection.xml

5. Recycle the AppPool

Alternative: Initialize Setup

If you want to start the setup process again after you have gone through it, you can delete or rename the Connection.xml file in your Enterprise Glossary installation folder under AppData. You will then need to recycle the AppPool or restart the application.
