Defining general properties
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 Upgrading the version of project items 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.
