You can open a single data connection for viewing and modify certain data connection details at any time. Depending on the type of data connection, the Administration Center allows you to edit the connection description, data directory and schema directory location, file extensions, DSN, TNS name, and other details. You can also enable or disable the connection, apply or remove single sign-on, and edit the list of repositories with access.
You cannot modify the data connection name, ID, or type.
Note: You edit one data connection at a time.
