Setting the SQL connection string

The Beebox-Sitecore Connector will make use of the “Beebox_Sitecore_Translation” database and we need to set up the connection string appropriately so that it may access the database. 

• Inside the ………..\Website\App_Config\Include\Beebox folder, locate Beebox.Sitecore.config.
  • Copy the sample connection string:as displayed provided at the bottom of the Beebox.Sitecore.config or copy from the below sample.

<add name="Beebox_Sitecore_TranslationEntities"

connectionString="metadata=res://*/Beebox_Sitecore_Translation.csdl|

res://*/Beebox_Sitecore_Translation.ssdl|res://*/Beebox_Sitecore_Translation.msl;

provider=System.Data.SqlClient;

provider connection string=&quot;

data source=SQL Server Instance Name;

initial catalog=Beebox_Sitecore_Translation;

user id=Username;

password=password;

MultipleActiveResultSets=True;

App=EntityFramework&quot;"

providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

• Locate connectionStrings.config, usually placed at…./Website/App_Config/ConnectionStrings.config and paste the new connectionString at the bottom of existing connection strings as given below.

  <connectionStrings>

  <!--

      Sitecore connection strings.

      All database connections for Sitecore are configured here.

  -->

  <add name="core"connectionString="user id=XX;password=XXXX;Data Source=XXXXX;Database=XXXXXXXSitecore_Core"/>

  <add name="master"connectionString="user id=XX;password=XXXX;Data Source=XXXXX;Database=Beebox71Sitecore_Master"/>

  <add name="web"connectionString="user id=XX;password=XXXX;Data Source=XXXXX;Database=Beebox71Sitecore_Web"/>

        

  <add name="Beebox_Sitecore_TranslationEntities"

  connectionString="metadata=res://*/Beebox_Sitecore_Translation.csdl|res://*/Beebox_Sitecore_Translation.ssdl|res://*/Beebox_Sitecore_Translation.msl;

         provider=System.Data.SqlClient;

         provider connection string=&quot;

         data source=SQL Server Instance Name;

         initial catalog=Beebox_Sitecore_Translation;

         user id=username;

         password=password;

         MultipleActiveResultSets=True;

         App=EntityFramework&quot;"

         providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

  </connectionStrings>

• Modify the highlighted values suitably: You will need to provide the name of the SQL Server instance where we created the Beebox_Sitecore_Translation database and corresponding username and password.
