Configure DataStore Settings

This section explains how to configure the DataStore settings for storing extracted data from data sources.

DataStore is an intermediate database used to store imported data from web data sources and statistic files, with a scheduled refresh option to update data.

NOTE: This feature is available in On-Premises Deployment but not in Smartlife Managed Cloud Server.

Database configuration

We can connect to the existing SQL Server instance with the following options:

1. New Database

New database

• In this method, a new database is created to store the extracted data sources and files.
• Select server type, enter the server instance name, credentials, and choose the New Database option.
• Enter your database name and click the Save button.

Existing database

• In this method, an existing database is used to store the extracted data sources and files.
