4.5 MANAGE CONFIGURATION
4.5.1 INTRODUCTION (MANAGE CONFIGURATION)
The “Manage” screen provides the users an option to manage previously loaded data, as well as manage
configurations, including the connections to the configured ‘NonStop Server(s)’, ‘local database(s)’ and
‘User Information’.
4.5.2 MANAGE CONFIGURATION - DATA MANAGEMENT TAB
The user is provided with an option to delete the loaded measure collections through the Manage
section. The “Calendar Grid” highlights the days for which data is available, shown as dark gray Dates. To
delete the loaded measure collections from the SQL server Database, the user needs to select the date
from the ‘From’ and ‘To’ dropdown and click on the Delete button.
Once the request is submitted, all the associated measure files are deleted from the database. However,
the processed measure collections will be available in the ‘Load’ section and can be reloaded to the SQL
server any time.

4.5.3 MANAGE CONFIGURATION - SQL SERVER CONNECTION(S) TAB
The SQL Server connection can be added or modified. It is important to specify the correct connection
information since NonStop SPAM stores all the data in a SQL Database. The SQL Server connection
information is in the form of “IP address or DNS name, port”. Users may provide an IP Address,port (or)
Localhost,port. SQL server has a default port but many companies choose to alter this. Additional
information about installing SQL Server and making sure it is correctly configured can be found in
Chapter 2.3.
The server connection properties and the database to use on that server are configured here.
After entering the DNS name or address, user name and password fields, click on the “Connect” button
to verify connection. To get your DNS name (PC name), go to Start-- > Programs-- > Accessories-- >
System-- > Tools-- > System Information.
