Yaniv, Barak, Why is this an issue ? All the credentials and configuration are created by the DWH setup, and we know it was checked on the dwh-setup. In addition even if we do support (down the road) installing reports on a separate server (from engine & dwh), we still should provide the same credentials and access details as dwh. One different thing that pops to mind is about the access to the db check, shouldn't we do it prior to the engine stop ?

This is an text issue that is missing for reports setup and exists in engine and dwh telling the user how to configure a remote db for setup to use.
