About this task

Server profiles are generated automatically by the workbench when you create a connection to a database. Generated server profiles are indicated in the Server Profile view with "(generated)" appended to the name. These generated server profiles are created using database defaults and applicable global preferences. You can edit the profiles by using the server profile editor.

You can use this method to create additional server profiles.

Procedure

  1. In the Server Profile view, click the Create New Profile Create New Profile toolbar icon toolbar icon.
  2. In the wizard that opens, select a database connection and specify options for the new server profile. Press F1 for more information about each field.
  3. Optional: In the editor that opens after you complete the wizard, make additional changes as needed and save your changes.

What to do next

You can create a server profile configuration and store it in a configuration repository to share the server profile settings with other team members.

You can add the server profile to a deployment group so that the settings can be used to deploy or bind artifacts to a database server.

You can quickly deploy or bind artifacts using the server profile by dragging and dropping artifacts from a project to the server profile in the Server Profile view.
