How to Disconnect from and Stop Using the BarTender System Database
Question
Can I disconnect from, stop using, and delete the BarTender System Database?
Answer
Yes, you can stop using the BarTender System Database and delete it from SQL Server.
To remove the connection from Administration Console:
- Stop the BarTender System Service
- Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Seagull\System\Service
- Open config.xml
- Delete everything between <ConnectionString> and </ConnectionString>
- Change the value of the <SystemDbIsSetup> tag to false
- Save the file.
- Restart the BarTender System Service.
Deleting the BarTender System Database from SQL Server can be done entirely via SQL Server Management Studio. While doing this is outside Seagull Scientific Technical Support's scope, see the Microsoft article below.
