Chapter 3 Connecting to the repository


Understanding connection parameters

The repository definition contains the connection parameters defined on your local machine. You use these parameters to establish the connection with the database.

Note   Local connection parameters
Repository definitions can change from one user to another in the same team, since the definition is a set of local parameters; however, they all lead to the same database.

The connection parameters are the following:

Parameter Description
Repository Name Name of the repository assigned in the repository definition
Login Name Default user name assigned to the repository, this name is case sensitive. You can change the login if you want to connect to the repository with another user profile
Password Default user password
Data Source Name Name of the ODBC data source that specifies the database to use on the server
User Name ID of the database user for the database connection
Password Password of the database user

For more information on the creation of a repository definition, see section Creating a repository definition.
