Understanding the single Historical Archive Data Access Layer (DAL) file

The following parameters in the Data Access Layer (DAL) file are configurable:

  • DriverProperty LegacyADOConnectionString Server is the Microsoft SQL Server name as the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) Host Name (for example, pdcHs1, pdcSqlsvr).

  • DriverProperty ConnectionString Server is the Microsoft SQL Server name as the RDBMS Host Name (for example, pdcHs1, pdcSqlsvr).

  • DriverProperty HostName is the virtual host name of the Archive service (for example, pdcArchive).

An appropriate source DAL filename can be chosen as needed.

The following is a DALConfig_SingleArchive_PDC.xml source DAL file example for clustered SQL Server installation:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
