| connection profiles, potentially based on filter conditions. DTP |
| 1.5M6 now has a set of components to make connection profile |
| selection easier to integrate with such tools. See Bugzilla 170130 |

| <FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"><FONT SIZE=3>A connection |
| profile contains all of the necessary information to connect to an |
| ODA data source. In DTP 1.0, the ODA framework supports importing a |
| connection profile when creating a data source design. However, when |
| changes are made to a connection profile, these changes are not |
| reflected at runtime. The ODA framework now adds the capability to |
| store a reference to an external connection profile so that any |
| changes made to the profile are automatically picked up. This makes |
| migration from a test to a production environment easy. (Bugzilla |
