Configuring the Background Notification Database List - On-Premise only

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

For On-Premise installations only where the ToolHound database is on a shared SQL Server, the databases polled for background notifications can be restricted if desired. The normal process for background notifications is to poll each database accessible by the SQL User in the connection string to validate whether it is a ToolHound database. If the user does not have access to other databases, this is not a concern.

To configure the list of databases to be polled for background notifications, add the DatabaseList parameter to the appsettings.json file. The appsettings.json file is found on the application server in the installation path.

Example: single ToolHound database:

"BackgroundNotification": {   

"RunService": true,   

"RunNotification": true,   

"IntervalInHours": 24,   

"RunOnStartup": true, 

"DatabaseList": "OleanderTH6" },

Example: multiple ToolHound databases:

 "BackgroundNotification": {   

"RunService": true,   

"RunNotification": true,   

"IntervalInHours": 24,   

"RunOnStartup": true, 

"DatabaseList": "Production,Test" },
