edit the TCP port number if applicable.
Note: By default, the server alias name is HWMDatabase. The
alias name is based on the specification in the
Database.ServerAlias value in the database section of the
\properties\OSServer.properties file for SQL. The Server alias
string does not need to be changed when moving the database.

Server. Change the ServerName, ServerPort, Detail.DataDirectory,
and Detail.BackupDirectory properties to reflect the location of the
remote SQL server.

Automatic Database Backup
OneSight automatically backs up the entire database file every
Saturday at 10:41 pm. The location of the backup file and the name
of the database is defined in the
/empirix/onesight/properties/OSServer.properties file. OneSight creates a
*.bak file in the backup directory. You may want to integrate regular
backups of the OneSight database backup into your company’s
current data backup routine or procedures.
Some notable entries in this file include:
Database.Detail.DatabaseName=hwm001
Database.Detail.DataDirectory=C:\\Program
Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\MSSQL\\Data\\
