    The restart the RSCD agent link yields "Page not found"

    How do we move to a different DB server using different ports if as is documented here "Note: Using existing BMC Decision Support for Server Automation database. If you are using the existing BMC Decision Support for Server Automation database, all the fields in this page are auto-populated, except the Password field." The new DB server uses different ports. We need a way to update the port

      If you have Old BDSSA setup up and running, you can use reconfigure with updated DB server,port and other details. Then you can use existing option while installing TSSA-DW. Or you can use old port, old db server details by use existing option in TSSA-DW and then later you can reconfigure from TSSA-DW portal with new db server, port details.

    In regards to this step in Before you begin: "If you are deploying with the SQL Server database, ensure that the data warehouse database user have sysadmin privileges to create a database link between TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse and TrueSight Server Automation."

    Does the data warehouse database user refer to the user TSSADW_DW of the TSSADW_DW_DB (assuming default DB and user names)? Does the configuration step use Transact SQL to establish the DB link, where the ALTER ANY LINKED SERVER permission may be adequate? If sysadmin is required, must it be maintained after completing the configuration step? We don't want to grant any higher permissions than necessary, so I'm just trying to clarify.
