Posted on by 15

Hello, Please I currently need assist. 

I newly upgraded my business central from v18 to version 2023.

My previous system design separated both application and database using Business central administrator tool, which is no longer available on version 2023.

currently the database and application are both on same server.

I have tried to configure the '' custom.conf file , pointing to the second database server, still getting error.

Question : is there any other configuration to be done please ?

<add key="NetworkProtocol" value="Default"/>

<!--

<add key="DatabaseServer" value="EV-L-W10-AD2216"/>

<!--

<!--
