Minor error in product documentation regarding "mxe.db.url" system property

Product documentation for IBM Control Desk 7.6 contains incorrect information on this page:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSWT9A_7.6.0/com.ibm.mbs.doc/propmaint/r_maximo.properties.html?lang=en

Section "mxe.db.url" describes default values for "mxe.db.url" system
property. For MS SQL Server it refers to incorrect format for MS SQL
Server JDBC connection string.

The incorrect statement is:
"For SQL Server, the value is: server name, port number, database name defined as: mxe.db.url=jdbc:inetdae7a:servername:1433?
database=databasename&language=us_english& nowarnings=true, in which databasename represents the database name, servername represents the name of the server, and 1433 represents the default SQL Server port number. The string mxe.db.url=jdbc:inetdae can be followed by either 7 (supports Unicode) or 7a (supports ASCII). Currently, only ASCII for SQL Server is supported."

Correct statement should describe the format which is for MS SQL Server 2012:
jdbc:sqlserver://[serverName[\instanceName][:portNumber]][;property=value[;property=value]]

    Thank you for the idea for IBM Control Desk. At this time IBM development will not be implementing this idea. We will close this idea for now and should it become a priority for many customers, we will revisit it again.

    Feel free to reach out to IBM at https://ibm-ai-apps.ideas.ibm.com/ with all great ideas.
