How to Determine Which Databases Are Used by EAP Installation

Databases

The following settings are stored in the <ROOT>\bin\sps.config configuration file:

1. Main Database

 <update4u.SPS.DataLayer
     databaseConnectString="data source=<DB_SERVER>;initial catalog=<MAIN_DATABASE>;integrated security=True"
     ...
 />

2. File Storage Database

<update4u.SPS.DatabaseFileStorage
     connectionString="Data Source=<DB_SERVER>;Initial Catalog=<MAIN_DATABASE>;Integrated Security=True"
     ...
 />

Starting from DWP v.12.1.1 these settings were moved from  SPS.config file to the PDRDwpConfigurationClass database table, update4u.SPS.DatabaseFileStorage-connectionString Key  (see also, Advanced System Settings).

3. History Database

<update4u.SPS.History
    databaseConnectString="Data Source=<DB_SERVER>;Initial Catalog=<HISTORY_DATABASE>;Integrated Security=True"
    ...
/>

Starting from DWP v.12.1.1 these settings were moved from  SPS.config file to the PDRDwpConfigurationClass database table, update4u.SPS.History-databaseConnectString Key  (see also, Advanced System Settings).

4. Data Warehouse Database

<update4u.DataWarehouse
    databaseConnectString="Data Source=<DB_SERVER>;Database=<DW_DATABASE>;Integrated Security=True"
    ...
/>

Starting from DWP v.12.1.1 these settings were moved from  SPS.config file to the PDRDwpConfigurationClass database table, update4u.DataWarehouse-databaseConnectionString Key  (see also, Advanced System Settings). 

5. Analysis Database

<update4u.DataWarehouse
    cubeConnectionString="data source=<DB_SERVER>;integrated security=True;Database=<ANALYSIS_DATABASE>" 
    ...
/>

Starting from DWP v.12.1.1 these settings were moved from  SPS.config file to the PDRDwpConfigurationClass database table, update4u.DataWarehouse-cubeConnectionString Key  (see also, Advanced System Settings). 

6. Reporting Services

<update4u.SPS.ReportingServices
    server="http://<DB_SERVER>/ReportServer"
    rootFolder="/<ROOT_FOLDER>"
    ...
/>

Starting from DWP v.12.1.1 these settings were moved from  SPS.config file to the PDRDwpConfigurationClass database table,  update4u.SPS.ReportingServices-server Key  (see also, Advanced System Settings). 

Workflow Monitoring and Instance Store Database

The following settings are stored in the <ROOT>\svc\Config\ConnectionStrings.config configuration file:

<connectionStrings>
    <add connectionString="Data Source=<DB_SERVER>;Initial Catalog=<MONITORING_DB>;Integrated Security=True" name="M42MonitoringConnectionString" />
    <add connectionString="Data Source=<DB_SERVER>;Initial Catalog=<INSTANCESTORE_DB>;Integrated Security=True" name="M42PersistenceConnectionString" />
</connectionStrings>

How to Determine Application Version

The current version is available on the Global System Settings preview page of the Administration application.

The version number consists of several parts, for instance:

12.0.5.3449 where

  • 12 - Major version
  • 0 - Minor version
  • 5 - Revision
  • 3449 - Build version

How to Determine Service Account

The service account is stored in the <ROOT>\bin\sps.configfile: 

<update4u.SPS.Console
    ...
    serviceAccount="="<DOMAIN>\<USER>"
    ...
/>

Starting from DWP v.12.1.1 these settings were moved from  SPS.config file to the PDRDwpConfigurationClass database table,  update4u.SPS.Console-serviceAccount Key  (see also, Advanced System Settings). 

How to Determine Installation Directory

By default, the EAP is installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix42\Matrix42 Workspace Management.

To determine the installation directory, perform the following steps:

  1. Start Registry Editor: from the command line run regedit.exe.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Matrix42.
  3. Check the value of the InstallLocation key.
