This case is somewhat similar to that of externalizing internal database connection. You create a connection configuration file that is outside the graph in the same way as an externalized connection, but such a file is no longer linked to the original graph. Subsequently you can use such a file in other graphs as an external (shared) connection configuration file as mentioned in the previous sections.
You can export an internal database connection into an external
(shared) one by right-clicking one of the internal database
connection items in the Outline pane and
selecting from the
context menu. The conn
folder of the
corresponding project will be offered for the newly created external
file. You can also give the file any other name than the offered and
you create the file by clicking
.
After that, the Outline pane connection
folder remains the same, but in the conn
folder
in the Navigator pane the newly created
connection configuration file appears.
You can even export more selected internal database connections in a similar way as it is described in the previous section about externalizing.
