Edit Data Link Dialog Box

Launch the Select Data Link dialog box and click New or Edit to launch the Edit Data Link dialog box.

The Edit Data Link dialog box contains the following options:

  • Data Link Name —A name for the data link. TestStand displays this name in the list control in the Select Data Link dialog box.
  • Connection String —The connection information for the data link. The string specifies the data source and options to use when opening the data source. The contents of the string can include the name of the server where the data resides, the database or file that contains the data, and the user ID and permissions to use when connecting to the data source.
  • File Browse —Specifies a Microsoft Data Link file ( .udl ), which specifies the connection string. When you select a Microsoft Data Link file, TestStand updates the Connection String control with the pathname of the file.
