Creating DataBase data sources

Before you can create a DataBase data source, you must first create a database connection.


How to create database connections, you can see in the following chapter:


>> Creating database connections


The data source input mask opens, in which you can select the DataBase data source as "Type" as a first step. However,

if you first assign a name to the data source and if this contains the word "database", then " DataBase" is already preselected

as the data source type. (This works with all data source types)



After this, the data source-specific settings adapt automatically to the DataBase data source.




DataBase Specific:


  • Connection
    Select the previously created database connection here.



After entering the information relevant for the connection, click on "Add".

And after editing an already created data source, click on "Save".




The Database data source is created and subsequently displayed in the data source overview.




Created data sources can be edited or deleted. You do this via the corresponding buttons. You also have the option of viewing all internal data sources.

This works by activating the checkbox "Show internal data sources".


Below you can create variables for the DataBase data source.



You can find out how to add variables for the DataBade data source in the “Adding DataBase variables” chapter:


>> Adding DataBase variables




You can find out how to perform external logging for the DataBase data source in the “External logging in the database” chapter:
