Scenario: Sharing Data Studio client database connection profiles by using the web console

In this scenario, Avery and Lincoln are database developers. They want to use Data Studio web console to share database connection profiles with other Data Studio client users on their team.
To complete the parts of the scenario, Avery and Lincoln use the following Data Studio tools:

Avery and Lincoln work on database maintenance scripts for a set of databases. They each have a copy of the Data Studio client that they use to develop and edit their scripts, and they share one Data Studio web console for job management tasks. Avery and Lincoln connect to the job manager by embedding the web console in their Data Studio clients. Avery and Lincoln use the job manager pages of the web console to schedule the scripts to run as jobs on various databases.

Avery and Lincoln know that all of the connections that they use are also available in the web console. These connections were either added to the web console automatically when Avery or Lincoln monitored the health of their databases in the client, or manually by Avery or Lincoln from the Databases page of the web console. Avery and Lincoln want to synchronize the database connections that are defined in the web console with those that are on Avery's client and Lincoln's client. They also want to share these connections with two new team members, Ella and Kanchan.

To synchronize the database connections across their clients:
  1. Avery and Lincoln each use the Import Database Connection Profile wizard from the Administration Explorer in the Data Studio client.
  2. In the wizard, they choose to import database connection profiles from a Data Studio web console server by entering the URL to that server. After they each complete the import, Avery and Lincoln now have an identical set of database connection profiles.
  3. When the new team members, Ella and Kanchan, need to synchronize their Data Studio client connections with Avery and Lincoln, they can also import the database connection profiles directly from the Data Studio web console.
