Database and Server connections

jaykapalczynski

I see where I can add database and server connections via INSERT > Connections in the toolbar

But this seems to be project specific and are no longer there when I open a new project. What gives....how do I set this across the board where if I open a new project they are there ready to use?

Here is the documentation of the Favorites in ArcGIS Pro 2.1.x: Project favorites—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

I think that will give you what you are looking for.

Last question....it appears that I cannot copy these connection files to another computer

I tried to copy the connection file to a different location (outside the Favorites folder)

I then opened the project and it was gone.

I then close ArcGIS Pro

Added the connection files back to the Favorites folder

reopened the project and they are not there...

Does this mean I have to manually create the connection files on every computer that is running ArcGIS Pro? That seems crazy.....

I am not sure if you can copy the connection to another machine. It is not like the old .sde connections previously.

When I need the files, I usually copy the entire Project folder to the new machine. That way I have a good "starting" place to create new project from.

Good point...then just set the connection files to open for each additional project...gonna test that now.
