Creating a Data Connection

You can create a data connection from the Toolbox, Browser, or Model menu.

Use the Connection tool in the Toolbox.
Select Model > Data Connections to access the List of Data Connections, and click the Add a Row tool.
Right-click the model (or a package) in the Browser, and select New > Data Connection.

Note: The Replication Wizard (see Replicating Data with the Replication Wizard) can automatically create data connections as part of your replication environment.
