Select the Connection Type:
Connection Pool – allows you to choose from a list of preconfigured connection pools. The list of available preconfigured connections comes from the list specified in global.properties.xml. The default ConnectionPool is used for both capture and playback.
Direct – allows you to manually configure connection properties. The direct connection is used for playback only.
