Development Connection

In this field, enter a connection string to be used by the Genesys Agent Scripting development environment to connect to the target database. This connection allows Genesys Agent Scripting to retrieve metadata (such as tables and columns) that describe the target database.

Provider

Static: This choice transforms the second field into a drop-down list that contains a single provider stringwhich corresponds to your choice in the Database Type field and should appear as a default. If necessary, you can also enter a string into this field; see the documentation provided with your database or ask the database administrator for its provider name.

Field: This choice transforms the data field below it into a drop-down list of fields, which allows you to specify different database access parameters for different target environments by changing the contents of the field.  For example, you can set for different values for the ASPX target environment and for the JSP target environment simply by changing the contents of the field.
