Hi @Pawan ,

Could you explain a bit more what you want to do?

The configuration to connect Pulse to MS SQL are in the Pulse.cfg file: https://cubewisecare.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/pulseusermanual/pages/666173450/Migrating+to+MS+SQL+Server

Cheers,

Hello @Vincent,

Our current installation is located at:
\\GBW12345678.HBEU.ADROOT.HSBC\d$\Program Files\Pulse for TM1

However, the D drive is filling up frequently due to the database. We would like to move the database to another location, preferably to a NAS or SAN drive on the network.

Is there a configuration file we can update to change the database location, or would we need to move the entire Pulse setup to the new drive?

Thanks,
Pawan

Hi @Pawan,

By database, are you referring to MSSQL Server or to the whole content of the Pulse for TM1 folder?

If it is the former, then that all depends on your MSSQL configuration. If it is the latter, then you can treat it as like moving into a new server. Check this article out,

Migrating Pulse to a new server

Alternatively, if it is an option, we would recommend to just expand the drive space itself.

Cheers,

Paul
