    Configure the Central Database
    In This Topic

    Introduction

    The use of a Central Database is required in the following cases:

    • When using an Offline Metered License.
    • When the "v3" Viewing Packages API is turned on. This feature is disabled by default. DEPRECATION NOTICE: The "v3" viewing packages REST APIs have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
    • When Work Files sharing via AWS S3 is turned on. This feature is disabled by default.

    When the features listed above are not used, PrizmDoc Server will not use a database, or even check for its existence in the configuration.

    Supported Databases

    MySQL 5.7 & 8.0 are the databases currently supported.

    Configuring the Database

    We recommend you create a dedicated database for PrizmDoc and a restricted database user that only has permissions for this database. Make sure the PrizmDoc user has all privileges to this database.

    Use the database.connectionString central configuration parameter to specify the connection string to the database.
