Checkpoint 1: Services page > Database sections - Intergraph Smart 3D Web API - Update 2 - Installation & Upgrade - Hexagon

The database sections of the Services page appear after you choose your configuration.

The Services page has sections for configuring several different components, so this Quick Guide has a checkpoint for each group of sections.

What happens now

You configure the following for the API configuration database:

• Connection details - The details of the database

• Admin credentials, if necessary - The credentials used to add the tables to the database and, if the database does not exist, create it

• Authorization credentials - The credentials used to connect to the database

Good to know

• A database cannot be shared across multiple web configurations. (One database can host configuration for one set of Plant and Admin APIs.)

• You have options for the database you use.

• Both APIs will use the same database for configuration information.

• You only need to provide admin credentials if the database is new or has not been used to store API configuration in the past.

• The authorization credentials are:

  • Stored in the database, where the password is encrypted

  • Only used by the API components

  • Only used to access API configuration information

  • Not used to access the Smart 3D databases (the normal Smart 3D access mechanisms are used for that)
