Switching between different contexts of the same connection

When you create more than one context for the same database or file connection, the menu Switch context is accessible from the connection. This menu enables you to select the context on which you want to execute the current analysis.

Before you begin

Multiple contexts have been defined for a connection in the Profiling perspective. For more information, see Creating multiple contexts for the same connection.

Make sure that the database name, the schema name or the catalog name is defined in the wizard. When you switch between different contexts, this enables you to retrieve the correct database structure.

Procedure

  1. In the DQ Repository tree view, expand Metadata > DB connections or Metadata > File Delimited.
  2. Right-click the connection exported as a context and select from the contextual menu Switch context.

  3. Select from the list the context you want to set for the current connection, and then click OK to close the dialog box.
