Data connections and database aliases

You connect to sources of data through data connections. Data connections are created and administered in the Data Connections dashboard in EPM Administration. In Application Studio the previous term Database Alias has been retained.

The Database Structure pane lists the available data connections.

You can log on to a data connection in these ways:

  • Double-click the connection
  • Right-click the connection and select Log On
  • Select the connection and click Log On in the toolbar of the pane
