Connect Tab
The Connect tab is the default tab of OpenROAD Workbench, displayed every time you start Workbench. It lists all the database connection profiles you have defined, with the default profile displayed in the Default Profile portlet. A database connection profile is a collection of settings used to establish a connection with a local or remote database. To use any of the other tabs, you first must be connected to a database.
On the Connect tab, you can do the following:
• Define new connection profiles (see Define a Database Connection Profile) in the Workbench User Guide
• Modify existing connection profiles (see Modify a Database Connection Profile) in the Workbench User Guide
• Set a connection profile as the default (see Set a Default Database Connection Profile) in the Workbench User Guide
After you select a profile from the list and click any of the other tabs, Workbench establishes the database connection. For more information, see Connect to a Database Through a Connection Profile) in the Workbench User Guide.
The Connect tab contains the following portlets:
Default Profile
