Editing Profiles

A Connection Profile stores the database server name, credentials, and connection settings that Enterprise Manager uses to connect to the OpCon database. You can edit an existing profile to update any of these settings without creating a new profile.

Edit a connection profile​

To edit a connection profile, complete the following steps:

  1. Open Enterprise Manager.

  2. Go to EnterpriseManager > Preferences. The Preferences dialog opens.

  3. Select the expand arrow next to Enterprise Manager in the Preferences tree to expand the list.

  4. Select Connection Profiles. The Connection Profiles settings appear on the right.

  5. Select the profile you want to modify from the list, then select Edit. The profile wizard opens to the Profile Definition page.

  6. Update the fields as needed:

    FieldDescription

  7. Select Next. Enterprise Manager tests the connection to the database.
