Creating connection profiles

Connection profiles make it easy to connect to databases automatically when an individual user boots a system, or to connect without typing connection parameters. Because connection profiles include the username and password, they are better suited to individual use than across an entire installation. Sybase Central lets you choose from a list of existing profiles, create, edit, or delete a profile, or select a profile to be used automatically when you start Sybase Central.

StepsCreating a connection profile

  1. From the Sybase Central menu, choose Connections > Connection Profiles or F9.

  2. On the Connection Profiles dialog, click New, and create the profile.

  3. Click OK.

If you would like Sybase Central to connect to this connection each time you start your computer, click Set Startup (Alt-S) on the Connection Profiles window.

If you choose not to connect automatically on startup, you can now connect from Sybase Central by simply choosing Connections > Connection Profiles and clicking Connect.
