Switching a Connection

Switching a Connection

You can switch the connection for a relational data object or customized data object to use a different relational database connection and simultaneously update the existing mappings to use the new connection.
  1. In the
    Object Explorer
     view, right-click the data object for which you want to switch the connection.
    You can select multiple data objects under different folders of a project or across projects.
    You can also select a connection and simultaneously switch the connection for all relational data objects and customized data objects that use the connection.
  2. Click
    Switch Connection
    .
    The
    Switch Connection
     dialog box appears and displays the selected data objects.
    The Switch Connection dialog box shows the selected data objects in the Selected Data Objects section.
  3. Click
    Add
     to update the list of data objects for which you want to switch the connection.
    To remove an object, select the object and click
    Remove
    .
  4. Click
    Browse
     next to the
    New Connection
     field.
    The Developer tool displays the connections that you can use for the data object.
  5. Select the new connection that you want to use for the data object and click
    OK
    .
  6. Click
    Switch Connection
    .
    A message appears prompting you to ensure that the database that the new connection points to contains a table with the same columns and metadata as the data object for which you are switching the connection.
  7. Click
    OK
     to switch the connection for the data object.
    A message appears stating that the connection was switched successfully. The Developer tool updates the connection details and the database type for the data object in all Developer tool objects associated with the data object. When you run mappings that contain the data object, the Data Integration Service uses the new connection.
