off. By design the installer adds a service dependency between Connect Server and the
supplied MySQL service.
Note
The Microsoft SQL selection capability will be available only with 1.6 version and
upwards.
To remove this dependency the user needs to do the following
1. Have a foreign Microsoft SQL running, ready for use with Connect Server.
2.
Use the Server Configuration Tool "Database Connection preferences" on page889 to
switch the database to Microsoft SQL.
3. Re-start the Connect Server Service, so that the modifications become active.
4. Counter check that everything is working properly with Microsoft SQL.
5. Open a command-line prompt with full administration rights.
6. Enter the command sc config OLConnect_Server depend= /. This removes the
dependency.
Please be aware: The key word depend must be followed immediately by the equal sign,
but between the equal sign and the forward slash there must be a space.

7. After the dependency has been removed, it is possible to stop the supplied MySQL
service (OLConnect_MySQL).
Warning
If a Connect 1.5 user wants to use Microsoft SQL instead of MySQL for the Connect Server, there
are several points to be taken care of:
l
IF there should possibly be available some foreign MySQL instance, which could
be used intermediately, then this should be selected during the setup. This ensures,
that no stuff gets installed. Otherwise the supplied MySQL needs to be installed and
the switch to Microsoft SQL needs to be done as outlined above.
