  2. Select a CDB profile to use for the connection to the server.If profiles exist, select one from the list. Otherwise, you must create a profile, as described in Connecting-to-the-server.

  3. Select an operation to perform:

    • Create a new extension.
    • Open an existing extension.
    • Delete an extension.

    Important

    Modifying or deleting an existing extension invalidates any data populated into any data source prior to the modification. Because CDB BDE does not verify the existence of populated extension data, only extensions that were never populated into a Capacity Database Web Services database can be modified or deleted. If you try to modify or delete an extension that was populated into a Capacity Database Web Services database, errors and invalid results may occur.
