Databases

This tab lists database mappings of the selected project. You can link your robot to different databases in a cluster by using mappings and you can create new mappings on this tab. Database mappings have project scope; you cannot have database mapping objects with the same name in one project. After you install Kofax RPA, a default database mapping "objectdb" is added to the Default Project, which is pointing to the Production cluster's default Development Database.

Important Database mapping in the Management Console was introduced in version 9.6.0. Previous versions of RoboServers would not be able to use it, but instead will use the pre 9.6 version mechanism of connecting to the database.

You can use space, parentheses, and hyphens for database mapping names. For example, "Development Database (MySQL)" is a valid database mapping name.

Note You can filter the list of items in the table by applying filters in the Filter text box. See Filtering for more information.
