If you maintain the database profiles for PowerBuilder at your site, you might need to update shared database profiles from time to time and make these changes available to your users.
Because shared database profiles can be accessed by multiple users running PowerBuilder, it is not a good idea to make changes to the profiles over a network. Instead, you should make any changes locally and then provide the updated profiles to your users.
To maintain shared database profiles at your site:
Make and save required changes to the shared profiles on your own computer. These changes are saved in your registry.
For instructions, see “Making local changes to shared database profiles”.
Export the updated profile entries from your registry to the existing file containing shared profiles.
For instructions, see “Importing and exporting database profiles”.
If they have not already done so, have users specify the location of the new profiles file in the Database Preferences property sheet so that they can access the updated shared profiles on their computer.
For instructions, see “Setting up shared database profiles”.
