Data connection manager
Data Connection Manager allows connection information to data sources to be created, edited and deleted. They are restored each time Bayes Server is started, allowing commonly used databases and spreadsheets to be accessed throughout Bayes Server with ease.
NOTE
Data Connections are stored on a per user basis, and are protected using user specific operating system encryption.
NOTE
Data Connection Manager only holds the information required to create a data connection, and therefore does not keep data connections open. Data Connections are only opened when required by an operation within Bayes Server, such as Parameter Learning.
Opening Data Connection Manager
Data Connection Manager can be accessed by clicking the Data Connections button on the Data ribbon tab, from the Main Window. Data Connection Manager can also be accessed from other points in the User Interface, when performing data related operations.
