Issue/Introduction
How can I tell what SQL server instance my server is connected to?
Environment
- App Control: All Supported Versions
Resolution
You can find this information following in 2 ways:
Web console:
- Open the web console
- Navigate to the System Configuration page > General tab > the database address is displayed e.g.
Database Address: SQL01\MSSQLSERVER
Locally on the server:
- Log into your App Control server system
- Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Bit9\Parity Server\ and then look for a file called "shepherd.dsn".
- You can open this file using wordpad, notepad, etc.
- You should then see an entry similar to the one below:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0
UID=bit9
Trusted_Connection=Yes
DATABASE=das
SERVER=<YourSQLServerNameHere>
