Creating an SMS Connection Profile

Create a new SMS connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for an SMS gateway server.

Note: If you change the connection properties of a connection profile that is already connected, the profile immediately disconnects from the resources and automatically attempts to reconnect using the updated information.
  1. In Enterprise Explorer, right-click the server type or enterprise resource for which you want to create a connection profile and select New.
  2. On the Wizard Selection page, select the appropriate connection profile type and click Next.
  3. Enter a name and description for the connection profile, and click Next.
    Table 1. Create Connection Profile page
    Field Description
    Name Enter a unique and descriptive name for the connection profile.
    Description (Optional) Enter a profile description that helps you distinguish it from others.
    Auto-Connect at Startup (Optional) Connect automatically to the server and display its contents in Enterprise Explorer when Sybase WorkSpace starts.
  4. Complete the following information on the wizard pages:
    Table 2. SMS gateway transport properties

  5. Click Test Connection to ping the server and to verify that the connection profile is working.
