Database connector requirements
You must have the following installed and configured before you can install and use a Database connector.
- Database - By default, the installation sets up and configures a database during the server installation.
- Connection String - By default, the installation sets up and configures the connection string to the database created during the server install.
If you choose to use another SQL database, the database must have all the required field names and any optional field names that correspond to the data you want to store. For instructions on setting up a database, see Creating a Database.
The connection string and table name must be provided along with where you want to store the actual messages (in a folder or in the database). For instructions on how to create the connection string, see Database Connection String Guidelines.
If you choose to store messages in a folder, the Database connector saves information about the messages (including the network path to the actual message) in the database while saving the actual messages in the folder you select.
If you choose to store the messages in the database, the Database connector saves information about messages and the actual messages in the database as binary data.
- Inbound Routing Rule - You must create an inbound routing rule. This rule will identify messages matching a specified criteria and route them to the database via the Database connector. For instructions on creating an inbound routing rule, see Creating an Inbound Routing Rule for the Database Connector.
