Configuring and Starting Clients 8-3
If you plan to connect to different combinations of Database
Administration products, hosts, and databases, you should create a

Note
Client configuration is not necessarily a one-time activity. At some point
in the future, you may need to modify your hosts or connection profiles.
Use the Connection Manager any time that you need to add or change a
host or connection profile.
See the Help for complete instructions on defining hosts and creating
connection profiles.

information on how to configure your client for PATROL SQL-Explorer.
PATROL SQL-Explorer can have its own connection profiles, or may be
used as a tool within PATROL DB-Change Manager.

set up new hosts for the 3.0 client to work properly. You should assign
these new hosts unique names, as well as the same port number that you
used to identify the 3.0 server. For example, for a host named eagle using
