Maintaining shared database profiles
If you maintain the database profiles for PowerBuilder at your
site, you might need to update shared database profiles from time to
time and make these changes available to your users.
Because shared database profiles can be accessed by multiple users
running PowerBuilder, it is not a good idea to make changes to the
profiles over a network. Instead, you should make any changes locally
and then provide the updated profiles to your users.
To maintain shared database profiles at your site:
-
Make and save required changes to the shared profiles on your
own computer. These changes are saved in your registry.For instructions, see Making local changes to shared
database profiles. -
Export the updated profile entries from your registry to the
existing file containing shared profiles.For instructions, see Importing and exporting database
profiles. -
If they have not already done so, have users specify the
location of the new profiles file in the Database Preferences
property sheet so that they can access the updated shared profiles
on their computer.For instructions, see Setting up shared database
profiles.
