Modifying database properties

You can modify external database properties such as hostname, port, username, password, and database name using the Cloudera Management Console.

If your cluster was installed using the OpenShift Container Platform Platform, you can view, but not modify the database properties. If the cluster was installed using the Cloudera Embedded Container Service, you can edit the properties.
  1. Sign in to the Cloudera console.
  2. Click Cloudera Management Console.
  3. On the Cloudera Management Console home page, select Administration > Databases to view the Database administration page.
    The Database administration page displays a list of databases.
  4. Click located at the right side of each row, for the database you want to modify.
    A dialog box appears where you can modify database properties. For example:
  5. Modify any of the following properties:
    • Username
    • Password
    • Database Host
    • Database Port
    • Database Name
  6. Click the Test Database Connection button to verify that Cloudera can connect to the database. If the test fails, re-check your modifications and click Test Database Connection again.
  7. Click Save and Restart.
  8. Optional: If you have deployed the Cloudera Data Warehouse service in your Cloudera Embedded Container Service cluster, you must refresh the affected Database Catalogs and Virtual Warehouses from the Cloudera Data Warehouse UI. Go to the Cloudera Data Warehouse UI, click on the Database Catalog or Virtual Warehouse and click Refresh.
The database properties are updated.
