The Database Connection Settings tab is used to configure the connection to the ERP database, so that VPConnect can communicate with it using SQL calls.

Note:

The Database Connection Settings tab is replaced with the Costpoint Connection Settings tab when Use WIC-Based Calls for Costpoint Lookups is enabled under Administrator Settings.
