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, or reconfiguring the database to use a different port. When such a change is made, the old database connection will no longer work and must be updated to match these changes.
You can also edit a database connection to change the vendor or any of the properties specific to that vendor. Note that this operation changes the connection information only for the current ClearQuest client computer. It does not change any properties of the database.
