Configuring the Administration Database

  • Article

When you install Commerce Server 2000, Setup automatically configures your server with the connection string for the Administration database. However, you may need to change the connection string, if, for example, the SQL Server login user name or password for the Administration database is changed.

  • When Commerce Server Manager cannot connect to the Administration database, the root node for Commerce Server Manager appears in the scope pane in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), but the rest of the Commerce Server hierarchy does not appear. To provide the correct connection string, you must configure Commerce Server Manager.

To configure Commerce Server Manager

  1. Right-click Commerce Server Manager, and then click Properties. The Commerce Server Manager Properties dialog box appears.

  2. In the Administration Database tab, click Modify. The Data Link Properties dialog box appears.

  3. After making the necessary changes in the Data Link Properties dialog box, click OK.
