Entering Dynamic Data (MongoDB) Database Information
Configuring the Mongo database is a one-step procedure, where you select the database setup option and based on your selection, you can provide the configuration details for that database for your environment.
* 
It is recommended that you configure the Mongo database outside of your Servigistics InService installation directory. This ensures that the MongoDB installation is not accidently erased during the upgrade.

• In case of Create new user and connect to an existing MongoDB and Configure to existing users on an existing MongoDB configuration options, you can have multiple database accounts of Servigistics InService using the same MongoDB instance with different database names. That is, you can create a new MongoDB regardless of the existing instance of MongoDB on same machine.
• You can skip the MongoDB setup by clicking Next without entering any details, if it is already configured as part of another Viewer or Publisher setup. MongoDB must be installed only once. All other viewers or publishers are configured with MongoDB.
• The MongoDB service on Linux machines is not automatically started when you restart the machine. To start or stop the MongoDB service on a Linux machine, open a Linux terminal, go to <InS_HOME>/SW, and run the following command:
./MongoDBService.sh <Mongo_DBHOME> start/stop
For example:
./MongoDBService.sh /data/Mongo start
./MongoDBService.sh /data/Mongo stop
