SRSConnect Instances



How to Create a New Instance of SRSConnect

1. Within versaSRS select the versaSRS Cog Icon >> Global Settings.

In the top right corner of the screen click the button with the + symbol.

Take note of the instance ID that is created.

2. Copy the current SRSConnect directory (default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\VersaDev\versaSRS\SRSConnect) and paste it into the same location with a new name (i.e. SRSConnect2).

3. Within the newly created SRSConnect directory, access the web.config file.

Update the InstanceID value to be the same as the instanceID that was created above.

4. Within IIS Create a new Application with the same settings as the existing SRSConnect Virtual Directory and ensure the application path is set to point to the newly created SRSConnect directory above (i.e. SRSConnect2).

5. A New SRSConnect Instance can be logged in.

How to Remove an Instance of SRSConnect

1. Within IIS take note of the folder path for the SRSConnect Application that you wish to remove and then delete it from IIS.

2. In File Explorer, locate (based on the folder path from the above step) and access the web.config file and take note of the InstanceID value.

Delete the directory for the SRSConnect that you wish to remove.

3. Access the versaSRS database and run the below query to delete the Portal Settings (this will also remove the SRSConnect tab for that instance in the Global Settings within versaSRS). Please Note: You will have to replace the [InstanceID] tag in the query below with the InstanceID from the web.config file mentioned in step 2.

DELETE FROM tbl_PortalSettings
WHERE InstanceID = [InstanceID]

NOTE: We recommend performing this in a Test environment. VersaDev will not be held responsible for any loss of data.

4. Ensure the Global Settings has the New Instance deleted.
