The DataServer Tutorial : Changing connection information in a schema holder
 

Changing connection information in a schema holder

The Edit Connection Information utility allows you to change a MS SQL Server database's connection information or logical name in the associated schema.
To change connection information for a schema holder from the Data Administration tool:
1. Access the Data Administration, if you are not already there, and select DataServer > MSS SQL Server Utilities > Edit Connection Information.
The following dialog box appears:
2. Make changes to the Connection Parameters fields as required. When you are done, choose OK to return to the Data Administration main window.
The changes do not take effect until you disconnect and reconnect the schema holder. When you reconnect, OpenEdge uses the new connection parameters.
For details on connection parameters, see Connectingthe DataServer and OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference.
Note: If you change the ODBC Data Source Name (DSN), do not select a DSN that uses a different ODBC driver than the original DSN. Configuration switches residing in the schema holder are dependent on the driver name. You will receive only a warning if you use a different driver, but the schema holder configuration may no longer match the characteristics of the driver and could cause unpredictable run-time results.
