Connect to a Database Through a Connection Profile
To use any of the tabs other than the Connect tab, you must connect to a database through a connection profile. For more information about creating a connection profile, see Create a Database Connection Profile.
To connect to a database
1. Start OpenROAD Workbench (see Start OpenROAD Workbench).
The Connect tab is displayed by default.
2. Click the connection profile you want to use for your database connection in the Connection Profiles portlet.
3. Click any of the other tabs, depending on what you want to do.
OpenROAD connects to the database using the information in the connection profile.
If you double-click an existing connection profile in the Default Profile, Recent Profiles, or Connection Profiles portlet of the Connect tab, the connection is established and the Develop tab automatically opens.
