Alteryx Service Won't Start After MongoDB Migration

RUSA

After migrating a MongoDB from Prod to QA services won't start. Some research indicates the issue may be the connection string formatting:

My technical acumen is not up to snuff and I need more of a step-by-step how-to. Does anyone have this?

Generally if your service isn't starting you'll want to reach out to Alteryx Support instead of making a community post. 
In this case since you restored to a new instance, our host recovery guide would be applicable in this situation. That guide can be found here:
