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.
