Description

The Folder Sync (FS) database is named ArchiveAccelerator. There are instances when the SQL server needs to be identified for migration of the FS server, SQL maintenance, or access is requested by Support.  There are 3 ways to identify the SQL instance name where the ArchiveAccelerator database is located. 

 

Options 1 - Configuration Log File

After Folder Sync is installed and then configured, a log file is created called ArchiveAcceleratorConfiguration.2019-04-10.Main.log.  In that file the following:

 VSLLC:Config] - Version of specified Sql server: 11.0.5058.0
 VSLLC:Config] - Connected to SQL Server: SQL01; Version: 11.0.5058.0

 

Option 2 - Registry

During the configuration process the registry is updated with the SQL instance name.

32-bit - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Vault Solutions\Archive Accelerator\Database\SQLInstanceName
64-bit - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VaultSolutions\Archive Accelerator\Database\SQLInstanceName

 

Option 3 - Archive Accelerator Configuration Wizard

1) Turn off the Archive Tools Folder Sync service.

2) Browse to the Folder Sync installation directory (C:\Program Files\ArchiveTools\ArchiveTools Folder Sync) and run the ArchiveAcceleratorConfiguration.exe.

3) The wizard will show the current SQL Instance for the ArchiveAccelerator database:
