Creating and using common connection configurations

You can store common database connection information, called connection configurations, in a database or configuration repository, so that team members can easily access and reuse the connection information.

Teams can use a common database as a configuration repository to centrally specify the databases that are available and the connection parameters that are required to connect to them. Because the configuration repository contains the most up to date connection properties, teams can ensure that the correct set of properties are being used.
