Databse Mirroring

The initial catalog is the database name. The fail over partner details can be found here:

and

I know what Initial Catalog means, but I dont know where to enter it in RDM Datasource Configuration.
As you can see here, I cant enter an Initial Catalog:

Hi,
the initial catalog is the database name in the Connection tab page. It's need to be the same database on the two different partners.

Hi,

OK I managed to configure the DB Mirroring, but I think there is a bug:
The Instances and Database have the exact same name on both servers. Then I enter the Failover-Partners FQDN and when I click "Test Server" I get the message, that initial catalog needs to be specified when using Failover-Partner.
However "Test Database" is succesful und when i trigger a manual Failover, RDM still seems to work.
So theres just a bug on "Test Server" when using a Failover Partner.

Hi,

I have the same problem. I must enter string "ServerName;Initial Catalog=RDMStore;" in the field Failover partner and than db and server tests works.

The field failover partner is empty when I open Advanced Settings again. This is a bug.

Hi,
What's the name of your main DB? We build a connection string and it seems that you add the Initial Catalog in the string with injection

This is now in the current beta
