Connecting to databases automatically

You can enable an option that will allow Management Console to connect to datastores automatically when you log in.

About this task

If this option is not enabled, you will have to manually connect to each datastore each time that you log into Management Console.

Procedure

  1. Click Edit > Preferences.
  2. Click Connection.
  3. Enable the Connect to Datastores Automatically check box in the Datastores area.
  4. Enter a number to determine the number of times a re-connection will be attempted.

    After the defined number of attempts is made, attempts to reconnect will be abandoned and you will need to manually reconnect to the datastore.

  5. Enter a number to determine the amount of time (in seconds) to wait between each re-connection attempt.
  6. Click Apply.
