## Setup credentials for the SQL Server database

Uploading data to **Process Mining** (Automation Suite) requires access to the SQL Server database location to which the extracted data needs to be uploaded. To set up a SQL Server destination connection you need the following setup parameters to authenticate access to the SQL Server database location.

* `Server`
* `Database`
* `Schema`
* `Role`

Check out [Retrieving the SQL Server database parameters](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/retrieving-the-sql-server-database-parameters#retrieving-the-sql-server-database-parameters).
