| <h1>Editing Connection Properties</h1> |
| <p> |
| Once a connection has been created it may still be necessary to define the port |
| and other properties for the connection. This is a common cause of connection problems. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| You can monitor and change the properties of your connection in the <b>Properties</b> view, |
| to open from the workbench menu go to <b>Window > Show View > Properties</b>. |
| Some values are read-only, |
| and you can change others, such as the description or the server name. |
| Although each Remote System Explorer subsystem maintains its own list of |
| properties, three properties (connected or disconnected, port, and user ID) |
| are shared among all subsystems. If you change any of these properties in one |
| subsystem, the other subsystems reflect the change. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Select a subsystem and check the Properties view to see the shared properties |
| for all of your subsystems. For example, the Connected value is Yes or No for |
| all of your subsystems under one connection. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| It is also possible to view and edit the Properties of the subsystems using |
| the <b>Remote System Details</b> view. To do this right click on a connection in the |
| Remote Systems view and select <b>Show In Table</b>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| In review, there are various methods for changing the properties for a connection: |
| <ol> |
| <li>Right click on the connection name in the <b>Remote Systems</b> view and select <b>Properties</b>. |
| </li> |
| <li>Expand the connection so that the available subsystems are listed. To modify the |
| properties specific to a particular subsystem right click on the subsystem and select <b>Properties</b>. |
| </li> |
| <li>Open the Properties view (Window > Show View > Properties). |
| Select a connection or subsystem and its properties will be displayed in the Properties view. |
| </li> |
| <li>Right click on a connection in the Remote Systems view and select <b>Show In Table</b>. |
| This will show all the properties of all the subsystems in the <b>Remote System Details</b> view. |
| This view allows the port used by the various subsystems to be changed. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
