Connections

A Connection is the configuration, including the login and other parameters, needed to connect to any datastore used by TIBCO Scribe® Online. Every Connection is named to allow you to organize and track your TIBCO Scribe® Online Connections.

The Connections page displays the status of the Connections used by your current Organization. Create Connections while configuring a Solution or from the Connections page. See Adding A Connection.

Note: If you are a member of more than one Organization, select a different Organization from the Organization list to see all Connections for that Organization. See Changing Organizations.
