The DBConfig.exe tool allows users to change the user account, password, and the database name for the Apex Central database.

The tool offers the following options:

  • DBName: Database name

  • DBAccount: Database account

  • DBPassword: Database password

  • Mode: Database authentication mode (SQL Server Authentication or Windows Authentication)

    Note:

    The default database authentication mode is SQL Server Authentication mode. However, Windows Authentication mode is necessary when configuring for Windows authentication.

  1. Open a command prompt on the Apex Central server.
  2. Use the following command to locate the directory which contains the DBConfig.exe file:

    cd <Apex Central installation directory>\DBConfig

  3. Type dbconfig and press ENTER.

    The DBConfig tool interface appears.

  4. Specify which settings you want to modify:

    • Example 1: DBConfig -DBName="db_your_database>" -DBAccount="sqlAct" -DBPassword="sqlPwd" -Mode="SQL"

    • Example 2: DBConfig -DBName="db_your_database>" -DBAccount="winAct" -DBPassword="winPwd" -Mode="WA"

    • Example 3: DBConfig -DBName="db_your_database>" - DBPassword="sqlPwd"
