If you have to switch databases/environments on the fly, there are 2 ways of doing it:

1) Have a different set of contexts that point to different environments

2) Use Connection type as 'Oracle Custom' where you will be able to build your Server information as a JDBC string.

Ex for your reference: DB_SERVER=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (SOURCE_ROUTE=yes) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxxxxx)(PORT=xxxx)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxxxxxxxxxxxx)(PORT = xxxx)) (LOAD_BALANCE = YES)(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = xxxxxxxx)(FAILOVER_MODE = (TYPE = SELECT)(METHOD = BASIC)(RETRIES = 180)(DELAY = 5)) ) )
