32 Database

This chapter explains the database settings you can configure in Agile PLM.

32.1 Configuration of Database Settings

From the Database node you can view and configure Agile PLM's systemwide database settings.

To modify a Database setting:

1. Under Server Settings, double-click Database. The Database window appears.

2. In any editable field, enter a new value or select from the drop-down list.

3. When you have finished, click Save.

4. Restart the Agile Application Server to activate the change.

Caution: If you change the Notification Enabled setting, it takes effect immediately. Changing any other Database setting requires that you restart the Agile Application Server > for the new setting to take effect. All active users' connections will be terminated when the Agile Application Server is restarted.
