• For database synchronization the user named sync must exist.

• Users sync security definition: sysadmin or db_owner role for SQDB5 and SQDB5_SQDW

• SQL Server Browser service must be started in order to grant connection to database from another server also you need to enable TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Network Configuration.

Backup and restore YSoft SafeQ Databases  

1. First Stop all YSoft SafeQ services.

2. Backup YSoft SafeQ Databases (for YSoft SafeQ 5 are default names SQDB5 and SQDB5_SQDW).

3. Restore both backed up databases on new Microsoft SQL database server.

Run validation of YSoft SafeQ Databases

•  Run the following SQL query on both restored YSoft SafeQ databases in order to clean up database validator tables:
  delete from smartq_validator

Edit configuration files on the YSoft SafeQ server

Following configuration files should be modified as follows:

1. <SafeQ>\conf\cmldb.conf:

   1. Specify path to the new database in dbURL parameter. Path is written in following format:

      • dbURL = jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://[computer name ]:[port]/[DB name];instance=[instance name];ssl=request

      • dbURL = jdbc:jtds: sqlserver://SERVER8:1433/SQDB5;instance=SQLEXPRESS;ssl=request

   2. Specify connection details to the new MS SQL server in parameters dbIp, dbPort and dbName

   3. Specify database login and password in dbUser and dbPass parameters

      1. You can encrypt password in Text encryption widget on Dashboard of YSoft SafeQ web interface

   4. Specify path to SQDB5 and SQDB5_SQDW databases parameters sqdb-srvname and sqdb-dwsrvname. The server name can be found by running the following query on the server: 
      SELECT name FROM sys.servers
      Database path is stored in format [computer name]\\[instance name], for example:

      • sqdb-srvname=SERVER8\\SQLEXPRESS

      • sqdb-dwsrvname=SERVER8\\SQLEXPRESS

2. <SafeQ>\conf\cmldb-sqdw.conf

   1. Follow the same procedure as for cmldb.conf with the following exceptions:

      1. parameter sqdb-srvname and sqdb-dwsrvname shall not exist in this file

3. <SafeQ>\conf\cmldb-cluster.conf

      1. parameter sqdb-srvname and sqdb-dwsrvname shall not exist in this file

      2. specify database login and password for "sync" user in dbUser and dbPass parameters.

• YSoft SafeQ LDAP Replicator Service

• YSoft SafeQ Web Interface
