Adding a server connection

From the Server Connections list, to add a server connection:

1. Click Add Server Connection.

New Server Connection panel to create a server connection

1. On the New Server Connection panel, to use a connection string to populate the connection fields, in the Connection URL field, paste the string. When it uses a connection string to populate the fields, Fabricate sets Name to the host value. You can change the name to a different value.
2. If you do not use a connection string, then:

   1. Under Platform, click the server platform.
   2. In the Name field, provide a name to use to identify the server connection.
   3. Provide the connection details.
3. To test the connection, click Test Connection.

   Note that for Google BigQuery, Fabricate prompts you to provide a dataset to use for the connection test.
4. To save the connection, click Create Server Connection.

Editing a server connection

To edit a server connection:

1. Click the edit icon for the server connection.

Edit Server Connection panel

1. On the connection details panel, update the connection details. Note that Fabricate does not display the existing content of password, secret, or private key fields. If you are not changing those values for a server connection, then leave the field empty.
2. To test the updated configuration, click Test Connection.
3. To save the changes, click Save Changes.

Deleting a server connection

You cannot delete a server connection that is either:

• Used in a database connection.
• The server connection for a database export target. Before you can delete the server connection, you must remove the export target.

From the Server Connections list, to delete a connection, click its delete option.
