Click the Edit... button in the Connection
information view to open the Database
Connection wizard.
-
Click Finish to validate the
modifications.
A dialog box opens prompting you to reload the updated database connection.
-
Select the reload option if you want to
reload the new database structure for the updated database
connection.
Information noteNote: If you select the don't reload option, you will still be able to execute the analyses using the connection even after you update it.If the database connection is used by profiling analyses in the Studio, another dialog box is displayed to list all the analyses that use the database connection. It alerts you that if you reload the database new structure, all the analyses using the connection will become unusable although they will be always listed in the DQ Repository tree view.
