Create or Copy Datastore Configurations

A datastore configuration represents a set of configurable options (including connection name, user name and password) and their values. A single datastore may have several different configurations, with each configuration used in a specific scenario or environment. For example, a datastore may have separate configurations for development and test environments.

Restriction

Datastore configurations are not supported for file format groups.

If a datastore has more than one configuration, select a default configuration. The default configuration is always used for browsing and importing datastore objects. In cases where a system configuration has not been specified when scheduling or executing a task or process, the software uses the default datastore configuration.

You can create a new datastore configuration from scratch or copy an existing configuration and then modify it.

Note

The copied configuration is identical to the original, except passwords are not copied.

In the Datastores tab, select an existing datastore and select Configuration.
In the datastore configuration toolbar, do one of the following:
- Select the plus button () to create a new datastore configuration from scratch.
- Select the copy button () to copy an existing configuration.
Specify a meaningful name for the new configuration and select OK.
Define (or modify) values for the appropriate options.
Select Save.

You can group datastore configurations from several different datastores into a system configuration.
