Making local changes to shared database profiles

Because shared database profiles can be accessed by multiple users running PowerBuilder, you should not make changes to these profiles. However, if you want to modify and save a copy of a shared database profile for your own use, you can edit the profile and save the modified copy in your computer’s registry.

StepsTo save changes to a shared database profile in your registry:

  1. In the Database Profiles dialog box, select the shared profile you want to edit and click the Edit button.

  2. In the Database Profile Setup dialog box that displays, edit the profile values as needed and click OK.

    A message box displays, asking if you want to save a copy of the modified profile to your computer.

  3. Click Yes.

    PowerBuilder saves the modified profile in your computer’s registry.
