Connecting to a CDB cluster

After you open a BMC CDB Studio tool, you must connect to a CDB cluster server before you can perform any tasks.

Note

Some BMC CDB Studio tools prompt you to connect before the tool opens. If you have a CDB profile already defined, you can select the profile before the tool window opens.
