You can change the database that an application is using by changing the Data Service it connects to in the application config file. The Data Service specifies which database is called.
The information in the Data Service config file is encrypted. To change the database that a Data Service calls to you must reinstall the Data Service.
Carry out the following steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Tech Systems\Intelligence\Applications.
3. Open the configuration file for the application you wish to use with the new database (eg. Cockpit.exe.config).
4. Modify the following section:
<dataServices>
<add name="<dataservice identifier>" server="<server name>" bindingType="NetTcp" basePort="<baseport number>"/>
</dataServices>
The name field does not need to correspond to the name of the database. However, it will be the name presented to the operator in the list of databases when they log in so it should be informative.
5. Save and close the file.
The next time you run the application the data service(s) will be listed.
