Assigning Databases

When an SPS is created from a database (DB) with the File | New from DB command, you can select the option to use a global resource (screenshot below).

When you click the Global Resources icon in the Open Database dialog, all the database-type global resources that have been defined in the currently active Global Resources XML File are displayed. Select the required global resource and click Connect. If the selected global resource has more than one configuration, then the database resource for the currently active configuration (check Tools | Active Configuration or the Global Resources toolbar) is used, and the connection is made. You must now select the data structures and data to be used as described in DB Data Selection.
