Use the Data Source Connection Summary page to view a list of all your data sources and drivers, release all data source connections, or verify the connection status of all your data sources.
To manage data source connections:
Click Server>Connection Summary. The Data Source Connection Summary page appears.
To release all cached data
source connections, click Release.
All active data connections to databases are terminated.
Note: A released connection remains so only until the first
request is made that requires the server to reconnect to that data source.
However, to ensure that the connection is disabled during your maintenance
period, access the ColdFusion Settings page
for the data source and select the Disable
database connection option. You should also provide time for current
database requests to process before releasing the connection.
To verify all of the listed data sources, click Verify All. A third column appears in the table showing the status for each data source as either "Verified" or "Failed."
Note: You may have to supply a username and password for the data sources you want to verify. Passwords for data sources are defined during data source configuration on the ColdFusion Settings page. For details, see Select ColdFusion Settings.
