The Progress DataDirect Salesforce Configuration Manager supports generating connection strings that can be used with your application. To generate a connection string, create a data source as described in "Configuring data sources with the Configuration Manager." As you provide connection option values, the Configuration Manager generates a connection string in the Connection String pane that corresponds to the data source.
In addition to providing values for connection option fields, you can manually edit
your string by clicking the Edit button (
). Note
that editing your connection string also changes the values for the data source.
After you are done configuring the connection options, click Test Connect to test your connection string. See "Testing connections and queries with the Configuration Manager" for more information.
To use your string, click the Copy button (
) and
paste the string to a location that can be used by your application.
