Use a new configuration database

This topic provides instructions for using a new configuration database.

To use a new configuration database

1. On the Central Administration Home page, click Nintex Administration.

2. Under Licensing and setup, click Database management.

3. Under Nintex Workflow, under Configuration database, click Create.

4. On the Create configuration database page, enter the name of your database server and enter a database name.

   Note: The default value for Database Server is the default SharePoint database server.

5. Click OK.

6. If the SharePoint 2016 environment used connector actions (formerly Nintex Live actions), then enable these actions for use in the SharePoint 2019 environment.

   Note: Enabling these actions helps to ensure a smooth upgrade. If the actions used in the previous environment are not added, then error messages appear when the content databases are attached.

   1. On the Central Administration Home page, click Nintex Administration.

   2. Under Workflow environment, click Action settings.

   3. Under Connectors, to the left of the Group column, select the check box to enable all connector actions.

      Alternatively, you can select the check box for individual connector actions.

   4. Click OK to save changes.
