In this step, provide the configuration details for the database server this is hosting the Yellowfin database. This is the database that stores all the Yellowfin content definitions, configuration information, and event details. This database can be created before the installation or the Yellowfin installer can create it for you.
Note
If you chose a database type of HSQLDB (Embedded - Not for Production) you will not see this screen because this database type has no configuration options.
As an example, if you selected Microsoft SQL Server, these are the options you would have to populate in order to set up the Yellowfin Configuration Database. If you choose another compatible database server the screen may look slightly different.
