Adding and Editing Database Connections

When you create a database connection, it is appended to the list in the Database Connection Manager dialog box.

To add a database connection:

  1. From the Explore Repository, select Tools, and then Database Connection Manager.
  2. Click New.
  3. In Database Connection Properties, enter the requested values, and then click OK.

    Note:

    The fields in the Database Connection Properties dialog box depend on the data source selected.

  4. To add application and database names, click, Application button, and make your selections. See Selecting an Application and Database Name.

    Note:

    The Application Lookup button displays a tree view of the applications and corresponding databases; the applications are listed as parents and the databases are listed as children. You can search on an application or database. For data sources that are not associated with a database, only applications are listed.
