When you configure a connection for most connection types, you specify the runtime environment for the connection. The runtime environment must contain an agent that is running. For other connection types, you specify the runtime environment when you configure the task.

You can configure a connection to a database. When you create a source connection to a database, you create the connection to a database table, alias, or view. When you create a target connection to a database, you create a connection to a database table.

When you configure connections for sources and targets in a mapping or task, ensure that the code pages are the same. If the source system and target system in a task use different code pages, the

You can delete any connection that you create as long as the connection is not used by a saved query or task.
