Editing the Global.asa file for the SQL Connection String

The PT Admin application uses a script called global.asa. It is run on the server and its functions are called by Active Server Pages. You must edit the global.asa file, which is found in the ..\PT directory, to reflect the correct settings for the data source, data server, and database that SQL Server 7.0 will use for this application.

To change the global.asa settings using Windows NT Explorer

1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows NT Explorer.
2. Navigate to the folder containing PT Admin application files.
3. Double-click the global.asa file. (Or you can right-click the file and then select Open With).
4. The Open With window will appear. Scroll down the list and double-click Notepad.
5. Scroll down to the Sub Application OnStart section of the script. Find the line that reads Application ("Eval_ConnectionString") and scroll across the line until you see Data Source = someplace; Server = someplace; Database = something; replace the values in these parameters with the following values:

   Data Source = (local)

   Server = (local)

   Database = Eval

6. Save the changes and exit Notepad.
