You can now store the contents of an application folder in an SQL database. You must first create a new SQL Repository. After that, this feature is available when you create a new application folder.
Warning: It is advisable to create a separate SQL Connection to use in creating an SQL Repository. If an existing SQL Connection is used, only Server Administrators or users with WSCFG privileges will be able to use the synonyms from this SQL connection in the application. This provides protection for the SQL Repository, preventing unauthorized users (without administrator privileges) from accessing the contents of the SQL Repository through a synonym.
You must have an adapter connection configured to an SQL database.
The Create New SQL Repository page opens, as shown in the following image.
A warning message is displayed, as shown in the following image.
Two SQL Repository catalog tables are created with this connection, as shown in the following image.
