Reconnecting to a database
You can reconnect to a database if the connection is defined but not connected.
If a database connection is canceled from outside of the workbench (for example, in DB2 Universal Database by using the FORCE APPLICATIONS ALL command), the workbench cannot detect that the connection is dropped.
To reconnect to a database:
- In the Database Explorer view, right-click on the database connection that you want to reconnect to.
- Click Reconnect.
