Data Connection - Test Connection

Tests the data connection by making a connection to the server.

Remarks

Overview

The TestConnection command attempts to establish a connection to the server using the current Data Connection's settings.
This is useful for verifying that the connection parameters (such as server address, authentication, and network access) are correct and functional.

2. If the connection is successful, no error is displayed.

Best Practices

• Use this command after configuring or updating a Data Connection to ensure connectivity before performing database operations.
• If the test fails, review the 'Connection Settings' property for accuracy and consult your database administrator if needed.
• Test connections in all environments (development, test, production) to confirm access and permissions.
