Configuring Data Sources

On this screen you give the database environment a name and indicate where it is located. The Data Source Name may be any combination of alphanumeric characters including blanks.

The maximum length is 30 characters.

The Description is optional and may contain any string of characters you wish. It may be longer than the display window.

The Database Name is the name of the ALLBASE/SQL Database Environment you want to access with this data source. The name will usually include the location of the DBE as shown in the sample screen. If the logon provided in the next screen does not include the same logon group, the location MUST be provided. A sample HP/UX name might be:

/usr/users/data/PartsDBE

The Server Name or IP Address is the name or address of the computer where your database environment resides. If you don't know this name, contact your network administrator.

The Server Type radio button indicates the type of computer on which the DBE is located. Click on:

MPE/iX if it is an HP3000

HP-UX if it is an HP9000

Select Continue when you are finished
