Changing DB connection details in NSS 8.1.2 and 8.2.
There are two main components to NSS – the portal (request management, Front Office) and the NetBackup Adapter (the NBU-specific web services) – each has their own database (tends to always be on the same SQL Server)
In the application files of the above, a database connection string is held in multiple, encrypted config files.
So, in order to make changes to the connection string, the following steps must be followed for both portal and adapter:
Notes on above:
Decrypting Portal config files:
Updating Portal config files:
Decrypting Adapter config files:
…\Biomni\NetBackup Self Service Adapter 8.x\MSBuild\ConfigDecrypt.bat
Updating Adapter config files:
Once files have been updated, NSS can run with them in an unencrypted state.
Restart the Windows service at this stage, prior to testing.
For convenience, best to test while unencrypted. When you’re happy the database connection is sound (and you don’t need to make any further changes/fixes to the files), you can then re-encrypt them using:
Portal: …\Biomni\Front Office 9.x\MSBuild\ConfigEncrypt.bat
Adapter: …\Biomni\NetBackup Self Service Adapter 8.x\MSBuild\ConfigEncrypt.bat
