Procedure
-
In the connection setup wizard, give your connection a name in the
Name field. This name will appear as
the database connection name under the Metadata node of the Repository tree view.
-
Fill in the optional Purpose and
Description fields as required. The
information you fill in the Description
field will appear as a tooltip when you move your mouse pointer over the
connection.
-
If needed, set the connection version and status in the
Version and Status fields
respectively. You can also manage the version and status of a repository item in
the Project Settings dialog box. For more information, see
Version management
and Status management
respectively.
-
If needed, click the Select button next
to the Path field to select a folder under
the Db connections node to hold your newly
created database connection. Note that you cannot select a folder if you are
editing an existing database connection, but you can drag and drop a
connection to a new folder whenever you want.
-
Click Next when completed. The second
step requires you to fill in or edit database connection data.
