Defining connection profiles

If you plan to use database connections or EAServer connections, you must define connection profiles for these types of connections:

Profile type

Create for

Database connections

Database connections that your pages use directly, and connections to be used by Web DataWindow objects

Connections to EAServer

Components your application will access that are stored on the server

You set up database connection profiles from the Tools>Database Profile menu item. You can set up EAServer profiles either from the Tools>EAServer Profile menu item or by right-clicking anywhere on the Components tab of the System Tree.

For information on setting up these profiles, see Connecting to Your Database.
