Creating an EAServer Connection Profile

Create a new EAServer connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for an EAServer component.

You can create and use an EAServer connection profile during either the design phase or the deployment phase, or you can use the fully-configured default EAServer connection profile installed with Sybase WorkSpace with the Development Edition 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.

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.
