Service Connection
Connections store authentication information. For general information about sharing database connections, please see Using Database Connections.
Note that different subsets of the Database Connection parameters below are made available in different contexts.
Connection
When Add Database Connection is selected as the Reader Dataset, you can create a new connection, then select the connection in the Reader Parameter Service. The new connection can be made visible only to the current user, or can be shared among multiple users.
Both Add Database Connection and Embed Database Connection require the parameters described below.
