Hi Fyodor,
Thanks for the help.
When the 1st time my app gets installed , we will be entering the MS SQL 
Server "sa" login and password but when the patches are installed it 
should take the SQL server user(eg: myUser) and password

How to and which values should be saved as properties?

Thanks and Regards
Ravi
