Data connection manager

Data Connection Manager allows connection information to data sources to be created, edited and deleted. They are restored each time Bayes Server is started, allowing commonly used databases and spreadsheets to be accessed throughout Bayes Server with ease.

NOTE

Data Connections are stored on a per user basis, and are protected using user specific operating system encryption.

NOTE

Data Connection Manager only holds the information required to create a data connection, and therefore does not keep data connections open. Data Connections are only opened when required by an operation within Bayes Server, such as Parameter Learning.
