2. The Collector.ini file
3. Within the ReadSoft Production Manager plugin configuration

If there is a need to update or change the database connection information for an INVOICES database, do the following:

   1. Within the INI file, go to the [Database] section.
   2. Update or change the database information as needed.

      Note: To encrypt the password, set EncryptedPassword=0 and UseEncryptedPassword=1. Save and then close the file, and then open Manager. Reopen the INI file to confirm the password has been encrypted.
