The General tab of the EPM Security Weblink utility allows you to specify the database connection information, such as the server name, user name, and password. You can also disable the process server on a given database from this tab.
For more information, see EPM Security Weblink Overview.
Select a database that you want to configure from the drop-down list. The options display in alphabetical order. By default, the first item in the list displays. Selecting a database displays its corresponding settings in the other fields. All of the fields that display on the General tab and Report Server tab are dependent on the value of this field.
Moreover, this field has the Quick Find functionality. Once you enter a character, the Quick Find feature performs a type-ahead search, and locates the domain that best matches the specified character. For example, typing "s" displays the first SQL database in the list.
This group box allows you to configure the selected database.
