3.1.3.2 Using an MS SQL Database
If you choose to configure an MS SQL server database as the eG backend, then setup first requests
you to confirm whether an MS SQL server is currently operational in your environment or not (see
Figure 3.72).

environment
If you select Yes from Figure 3.72, then before proceeding with the setup, ensure that the
Prerequisites discussed under Section 2.1.6.1 of Chapter 2 of this document are fulfilled.
Subsequently, follow the steps given below:
1. If an existing MS SQL server is chosen to host the eG database, then first enter the location of
the MS SQL server by specifying the hostname and port on which the MS SQL server is hosted. If
the MS SQL server being configured uses named instances, then specify ‘none’ instead of the port
number in Figure 3.73. Then, click the Next button to proceed.
