Created page with 'The external configuration utility is used to configure the toolset's database connection. You shouldn't need to run the configuration utility during routine usage of the toolset...'

New page

The external configuration utility is used to configure the toolset's database connection. You shouldn't need to run the configuration utility during routine usage of the toolset, and if the defaults set up by your installer work you may not need to run it at all.

The default database string is "<code>Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=bw_dragonage_content;Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS</code>". For advanced configuration, click on the ellipsis button ([[Image:ellipsis.png]]) to open the data link properties window.

Note that the configuration utility will first ask where the game build is. The game executable is not currently available for distribution but it is not necessary for the toolset to run so there's no need to be concerned about this.
