Manage repositories in the PDI client
After a repository is created, a menu appears next to the Connect link. You can use the menu to connect to any repository you created. If you connect to a repository, the Connect link in the PDI client toolbar is replaced by your user name and the display name of the repository.
This menu can also be used to access the Repository Manager or disconnect from your current repository.
Repository Manager
You can Add, Edit, or Delete your repositories through the Repository Manager dialog box.
If you set a repository as the default on startup, you can clear this behavior by checking Launch connection on startup again.
You can also click on an item in the list to select it. Once selected, you can either Edit or Delete that repository. If you choose Edit, the Connection Details dialog box will appear.

Use the Connection Details dialog box to specify the settings of your repository.
