Creating Connection (.cwc) Files

The main purpose of .cwc files is to distribute the Data Store settings to users without administrator rights so that they can connect to or disconnect from a Data Store. The .cwc files can be sent to other users (i.e. non-administrators) who can then use the file to access the Data Store.

Ensure you are currently attached to a Data Store.

  1. Launch the Data Store Administration Tool.
  2. Click the Create/Connect option.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Type in or click Browse and navigate to a location to save the .cwc file.

    Note: It is recommended that you name the .cwc file "Connection file.cwc" to distinguish it from a disconnecting .cwc file.
