# Managing connections

## Reinitializing connections

When reinitializing a pool of connections to JMap Server, all open connections will be closed and new ones will be created. This action may be useful to force reconnection to a JMap Server.

## Deleting connections

Deleting a connection to JMap Server deletes this connection’s entire configuration.

## Deactivating a remote connection

You can deactivate a remote connection without removing the connection configuration. The local server can no longer query the remote server. Deactivating a connection is useful when the remote server stops responding and causes delays in the local server.

## Connection statuses

Each connection has a status. This status indicates the condition of the connection towards JMap Server. The following table describes the possible statuses of a connection.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="156.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Status</strong></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Connected</td><td>Connections to JMap Server were successfully created and are ready to be used.</td></tr><tr><td>Error</td><td><p>Connections to JMap Server are broken. </p><p>The connection cannot be used until the error has been resolved and the connections have been reopened.</p><p>Resetting the connection may resolve this issue. </p><p>You can view a description of the error by clicking on the word Error displayed in red.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
