Specifies the plant database server to use for a particular vault server. After you replicate a vault and the plant database, you can specify which plant client database to use for each vault server.
This command applies only to replicated vaults.
After the plant database is replicated, the plantvaultdatabase command specifies which plant database to connect to for a particular vault server.

Summary
This command specifies plant database servers but does not test connections. Neither the remote vault server nor the remote SQL Server are connected to during the command. They are also not validated. The project administrator is not required to have connectivity to the remote servers.
A vault login is required to access and modify the project DLK files. This allows the project administrator to specify a vault server and a project database for a remote location that does not yet exist.
To shut down replication (for example: the project is complete and you no longer need replication) specify Default. If the project is opened from the remote location, it will use the default plant database.
- Vault Project
-
Specifies the project in the vault.Note: You can specify any project in the vault. This command does not act on the current project.
- Default
- The SQL Server that was specified when the project is first created. Setting the default plant database removes the DLK files for the specified vault server.
- Authentication
- Specifies either Windows or SQL Server authentication.
- SQL Server user name
- Specifies SQL Server user name used by the project for that vault.
- Save project settings
- If yes, DLK files for the project are modified and checked in to the vault.
