You can edit the properties of a database connection to match a change made by another Rational ClearQuest client or by tools supplied by the database management system vendor. An example of such a change is moving the database to a different server. Another example is reconfiguring the database to use a different port. After making changes such as these, the old database connection no longer works. You must update the database connection to match the changes.
You can also edit a database connection to change the vendor or any properties specific to that vendor. Note that this operation changes the connection information only for the ClearQuest client computer. It does not change any properties of the database.
