Creating a File Connection Profile

Create a File connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for an endpoint that refers to a file, for example, somedoc.xml.

You can also use the fully-configured default File connection profile installed with Sybase WorkSpace.

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.

In Enterprise Explorer, right-click the server type or enterprise resource for which you want to create a connection profile and select New.
On the Wizard Selection page, select the appropriate connection profile type and click Next.

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.

In the File Transport Location page, click Browse to specify the Directory Path.
For example: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\xchange

Note: At packaging time you can choose one of its subdirectories as your endpoint, but not the selected directory itself. To use the selected directory as a messaging endpoint, select its parent directory instead.
Click Test Connection to ping the server and to verify that the connection profile is working.
Click Finish to create the connection profile.
The connection profile displays under the appropriate category in the Enterprise Explorer.
