    Hi,

     

    The "Connection" for the datasource you are using for DBtable needs to be changed manually as it does not store it in a variable unless you are creating the checkpoint via script that way you can possibly store it in a variable to be called but you will still need to modify the variable value. Please see https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/70630/ for further information

     

    I would however recommend in the "stores" section of TestComplete, modify the DBTables value you want to change. This will then propagate down to where this is referenced in the various scripts

     

    I hope this helps
