Data Warehouse Properties, SQL Server Tab
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
Use the Data Warehouse Properties dialog box, SQL Server tab, to configure the Data Warehouse global resource connection to the SQL Server Data Warehouse database. Use this tab to configure two connection strings:
ConnStr_db_analysis. The PivotTable in dynamic reports uses this client-side connection string. Client systems can access this connection string by viewing the source when a dynamic report renders. By default, this connection string uses Windows Integrated Security, even if you specify SQL Security in this dialog box, or when you unpack the Data Warehouse resource.
Because this connection string uses Windows Integrated Security, Windows users who do not have SQL Server permissions will not be able to run the dynamic SQL reports.
ConnStr_db_dw. This Commerce Server provides this server-side connection string for high availability business analytics configurations. You first set this connection string when you unpack the Data Warehouse resource; it has Administrative rights.
For this connection string, you can select whether to use Windows Integrated Security or SQL Security.
