How to point DCS Server to migrated SQL database.

After the SQL database has been migrated to a new instance the "server.xml" file will need to be updated with the new database information. The default location of this file on the DCS Server is as follows:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Data Center Security Server\Server\tomcat\conf\server.xml"

There will be three lines in this file that each begin with a "<Resource auth=" tag.

<Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
    factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" initialSize="25" logAbandoned="true"
    maxActive="75" maxIdle="50" maxWait="30000" minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="55000" minIdle="25"
    name="Database-Console" password="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCD"
    removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="300" testOnBorrow="true"
    timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="34000" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.223/SCSPDB;instance=scsp;integratedSecurity=false"
    username="scsp_ops" validationInterval="34000" validationQuery="SELECT 1"/><Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
    factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" initialSize="125" logAbandoned="true"
    maxActive="425" maxIdle="175" maxWait="30000" minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="55000"
    minIdle="125" name="Database-Agent" password="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCD"
    removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="300" testOnBorrow="true"
    timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="34000" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.223/SCSPDB;instance=scsp;integratedSecurity=false"
    username="scsp_ops" validationInterval="34000" validationQuery="SELECT 1"/><!-- UMC DB Resource --><Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
    factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" initialSize="34" logAbandoned="true"
    maxActive="277" maxIdle="233" maxWait="30000" minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="55000" minIdle="89"
    name="Database-UMC" password="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCD"
    removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="300" testOnBorrow="true"
    timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="34000" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.223/dcsc_umc;instance=scsp;integratedSecurity=false"
    username="umcadmin" validationInterval="34000" validationQuery="SELECT 1"/>

The hostname/IP of the SQL Enterprise Database will need to be updated on the "url=" portion of these three lines as follows:

url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.223/SCSPDB;instance=scsp;integratedSecurity=false"

In the above example the "192.168.1.223" entry will need to be updated to the new hostname/IP of the migrated database.

Please note that before modifying the "server.xml" file that the DCS Services should be turned off. (See the image below for reference):

Once the "server.xml" file has been successfully modified, the services can be turned back on and the DCS server's database should be properly migrated.
