Using the JIRA Configuration Tool to connect to an SQL instance

[timrmoore]

I'm tring to connect the new installation to a blank DB, but the config tool doesn't seem to like me adding the SQL instance onto the hostname srting (i.e. LONDBSQLSYS2/IT where IT is the instance).

I note in the manual instructions that instances are supported. Is there a way to configue the instance through the tool or do I have to go through the manual route?

Sorry I meant after the Database name. Add something like JIRA;instance=INST

Where JIRA is the database name

Great, Thanks Richard

This should be added to the config db guide. Reference to an instance is there for the manual config instructions.

I've edited it manually now, but would be good to know if theres a way to do this using the tool
