Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.

If you select the "Type" then a sample connection string will appear. You can copy that, make necessary changes to it, and paste it there. I will advise to go for creating a connected system instead of configuring a Data source in Admin Console
docs.appian.com/.../data-source-connected-systems.html
i have already gone through that and selected SQL server in the type category but nowhere does it mentions the format and sequence of the other inputs. Also it doesn't give clear instructions for creating a connected system.please explain this further:Example: jdbc:sqlserver://yourserver.example.com:1433;databaseName=your_db_name
Connection string is generated while You created a schema in Table (Did you saved it anywhere?) .
Connection Url = Connection string
So your DB administrator should have given you a port number and an IP address that you use to access the DB in your tool (DBeaver, SQL workbench) which is your <yourserver.example.com> followed by the port number. Finally, you add your DB name in place of <your_db_name> and that is how you build a connection string.
