Alternate connection string in the installer
-
I noticed in the new release notes: BM-1381 - Allow users to specify an alternate connection string for upgrades.
Can this be used to migrate the Buildmaster Database to be hosted by a different Sql Server? Do you have a procedure or some documentation on migrating the database to an alternative server?
Thanks
Product: BuildMaster
Version: 4.1.4

Not exactly - it's simply used instead of reading the connection string from the appSettings file.
To move the database, just back up and restore it to your new server and change the connection strings in the web application's Web_appSettings.config file and the service's App_appSettings.config file. Whatever service account is running the application pool or running the BuildMaster web server service needs to be granted the BuildMasterUser_Role for the new database as well.
