Closing an iBridge database

Connections can be closed to iBridge databases that are no longer in use.

To close an iBridge database:
  1. Do one of the following:
    • In the Data Sources panel of the Data Sources Task Pane click X to the right of the connected database name to close the connection to it.
    • Right-click on the chart background, and from the shortcut menu, select database > Close Database. Where database is the name of the iBridge database.
  2. Click Yes to confirm that you want to close the database.
All of your open charts are disconnected from the database, the database is removed from your Analyst's Notebook Data menu. The iBridge specific palette remains in each open chart. If you save the chart, the iBridge specific palette will also be saved.

If you subsequently reopen your database, the chart is reconnected to your database. Any entities and links which were previously charted from the database maintain their reference to the database.

The Close Database command is also available on the Data menu. It is located on a submenu which has the same name as the name of the database.
