Manage AgilePoint NX Portal Configuration screen

Prerequisites

Good to Know

  • The Manage AgilePoint NX Portal Configuration Utility lets you enter configuration information for your NX Portal server. The following limitations apply:
    • You can enter a first-time database configuration (Initialize) or update an existing configuration (Update). Usually this utility is used to update an existing configuration because the initial configuration is created during installation.
    • If you update an existing configuration, the utility does not retrieve the existing information. This utility lets you set the configuration for a new database connection string, but it does not retrieve or parse the existing connection string, if one exists.
    • This utility configures a single tenant environment. If you want to change the configuration for a multi-tenant environment, contact AgilePoint Professional Services.

How to Start

  1. On the Portal installation machine, open the folder (NX Portal installation folder) C:\Program Files\AgilePoint\AgilePointWebApplication\AgilePointPortal \bin.
  2. Right-click the file AgilePointNXPortalManagement.exe, and click Run as Administrator.
