Use

If Structure linkdatabase instances are to be managed by the Database Manager GUI, they have to be registered.

Prerequisites

If you want to access a remote database instance with the Database Manager, you have to start the X Server service on the relevant database server (Status: started).

Procedure

  1. Choose File ® Register Database
    Enter the name of the server from which you wish to request a list of the database instances installed on it.
    Choose Enter or the exclamation mark (!) next to the input field.
  2. On the list of the installations present on the server that is displayed, select the one that is to be registered.
    Choose Register.
  3. Enter a name for the database instance you want to register and the DBM operator of the database instance, which comprises the DBM operator name and the DBM password.
  4. Recommendation

    You can choose any name as the registered name of the database instance. It only needs to be unique within the Database Manager GUI. Generally speaking it should be the same as the name defined for the database instance during installation. If this has already been assigned you must use a different registered name.

  5. Choose OK.

Result

The database instance has been registered and from now on it will appear on the list of registered databases.
