Managing database connections that are associated with a connection configuration

After you create a database connection that is associated with a connection configuration that is stored in a configuration repository, you can validate and refresh the connection properties so that they match the properties in the configuration repository. This validation ensures that you are using the most up to date connection properties.
About this task
To manage database connections that are associated with a connection configuration:
  1. Right-click a connection that has an associated connection configuration, and click Validate. These connections can be identified by a green check mark icon in the Data Source Explorer. Any inconsistencies between the connection and the associated connection configuration are displayed in the Problems view, and the connections icon changes in the Data Source Explorer to indicate that they are out of sync.
  2. Right-click a connection that has an associated connection configuration, and click Refresh. The connection will automatically be refreshed with the latest connection configuration information that is stored in the configuration repository.
