Overview
Every connection has a unique name that is defaulted to a combination of the provider object's name and type and a number to ensure uniqueness. This name can be modified to any other name provided that it doesn't clash with another connection defined in the same context.
When the object at the provider end of a connection has its name modified, this change is reflected in all of the defaulted connection names that reference it. If any connection name has been changed away from the default then that name will not be affected. The name can be restored to the default and continue tracking the provider name by using the Reset function in the Properties editor.
Example
The following example shows a method connected to a store called TstInst1:
In this case, the connection name is defaulted to TstInst1Tst1:
| {Provider Name} | + {Provider Type} | + {Unique Number} | = Name |
| TstInst1 | Tst | 1 | = TstInst1Tst1 |
