About this task
When you transfer an alias or promote it to
production, its underlying connection information doesn't get transferred with it.
In this situation, the connection is in an unconfigured state and must be
reconfigured before you can use it.
Procedure
-
Navigate to and click the Connections tab.
-
Locate the alias that you want to add a connection to and click View
Details.
-
In the detailed view, locate the connection that you want to configure and
click Configure.
-
On the Configure Connection form, fill in the fields.
The fields that appear on the form depend on which configuration template the parent alias has. For details on each specific template, see
Connection and Credential configuration templates.
Configuring a connection through the dashboard requires the parent alias to have a configuration template. If
yours doesn't, clicking Configure opens the Connection and Credential Alias record for your alias instead of the Configure Connection form. For more information about configuring your connection in
the Connection and Credential Alias record, see Create a Connection and Credential alias.
-
To submit the form, click Configure.
