Configure Database Connection Details

Use the SQL Connectivity tab to configure the connection to the CA GovernanceMinder databases. You must connect to these databases to use the Open from Database and Save to Database functions.

Note: Use this tab even when an Oracle server hosts CA GovernanceMinder databases.

To configure database connection details

1. From the main menu, click File, General Settings.

   The Settings dialog appears.

2. Click the SQL Connectivity tab.
3. Select a connectivity mode:
   • In implementations that include a CA GovernanceMinder server that also interacts with the CA GovernanceMinder databases, select the Request SQL Credentials from a server option.

     Note: When a CA GovernanceMinder server instance is in your environment, you must select this option.

   • In implementations without a CA GovernanceMinder server, select the Use static SQL credentials option.
4. Enter values in the fields as indicated.
5. (Optional) Select the Bulk Insert option to write data to a temporary SQL file. This option speeds the save process.
6. Click Apply.
