Connection Profiles

A connection profile enables the runtime connection to endpoints for database and service development.

A connection profile contains the connection property information needed to connect to a runtime instance. It manages the configured connections defined for the installed database instance running on an application server. A connection profile is added through an extension point. When you create a connection profile, you specify standard data source configuration parameters, such as a connection URL, user name, and password. These parameter values are stored as secure metadata for the created connection profile, which can be used for connectivity checks. Use any of the fully-configured default connection profiles or create and configure a new connection profile.

• Creating a JDBC Connection Profile
  Create a JDBC connection profile for third-party database servers to supply the runtime connection information for a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) database endpoint. You can create connection profiles for Sybase database servers, Adaptive Server Enterprise, SQL Anywhere, and Sybase IQ; however, Sybase recommends using the provided connection profile options specific to the database server.
• Creating a SQL Anywhere Connection Profile
  Create a SQL Anywhere connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for a SQL Anywhere database server endpoint.
• Creating Multiple SQL Anywhere or Sybase IQ Connection Profiles
  You can easily create connection profiles for multiple SQL Anywhere or Sybase IQ databases.
• Creating an ASE Connection Profile
  Create a Sybase ASE connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) database server endpoint.
• Creating a Sybase IQ Connection Profile
  Create a Sybase IQ connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for a Sybase Adaptive Server IQ database server endpoint.
• Importing Database Connection Profiles
  Import database connection profiles directly from a sql.ini file or LDAP server.
• Reverse Engineering a Database from the Connection Profile
  Launch a Power Designer wizard that allows you to reverse engineer a Physical Data Model from a live database connection.
