Database Configuration Tool

The Database Configuration Tool is a utility for on-premises OpenLM Platform deployments. If OpenLM hosts your platform, you never need it — the databases are managed by OpenLM.

Use it to:

• Build and test database connection strings for the databases an on-premises deployment uses. Supported engines are Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB (operational data), and PostgreSQL (reporting data).
• Upgrade OpenLM databases between product versions with the bundled Database Upgrade Tool.

As of release 06.26, the tool ships as a Docker-based interface — see the release notes.

Where the connection strings are used

The connection strings you build and verify here are the values you enter during Platform installation — for example SERVER_DATABASE_CONNECTIONSTRING, INFRASTRUCTURE__ServerConnectionStringTemplate, and the identity database connection string.
