Registering Database Instances 

Use

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

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).

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.
   Click on Enter or the exclamation mark (!) next to the input field.
2. On the list of the installations present on the server which is displayed, select the one that has 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.



You can choose whatever name you please 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 installation name of the database instance. If this has already been assigned you must use a different registered name.

4. Choose OK.

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