How to change MSSQL Server for Acronis System Databases

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm using B&R Advanced Workstation. During the installation, I had to define a MSSQL Server for the databases of the management server.

The specified server will soon be shutdown definitively, so we're migrating all our stuff to the new one. I already migrated the acronis databases to the new MSSQL Server. How can I specify to the Acronis B&R to use the databases on the new server and to forget about the old one? Will I have to Re-Install??

Best Regards

Christoph

Just scanned the registry:

is it ok to change the server details in the connection strings in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\AMS\ConnectionStrings

I just changed the registry, put the old databases offline, it seems to work.

Does this have any sideeffects?

Hello Christoph,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the Acronis forum. I will do my best to help you.

From my experience I would suggest to re-install the program. This is safer and we have not tested such registry tweaks.

If you need additional help, please let me know.

Thank you.
