2 The Systems Tool
Systems Tool
The Systems Tool contains the components used to define, add, edit, remove, duplicate, test,
and open existing systems on the Neoview platform.
Select the Tools->Systems Tool menu in HPDM and you can create a system definition for each
system you want to manage, see “Add System” (page 13).
The Systems Tool window displays these settings:
• State — specifies the current state of the system definition as: Password not specified,
Not tested, Test failed, or Test succeeded.
• System Name — specifies an alias name to identify this Neoview system. The system name
can be up to 32 characters in length, and consist of letters, digits, and the underscore character.
• Server Data Source — specifies the name of the data source on the Neoview system. If the
field is left blank, the default data source is used if it one has been configured.
• User Name — Neoview user name.
• Host Name — the DNS name or IP address for the target Neoview platform.
• Port Number — contains the ODBC server port number.
• Default Schema — contains the default entry for the system (optional).
• DriverString — specifies the ODBC driver.
Options
The options for the Systems Tool are:
• [Test] tests a selected system and displays the results in the Connection Test Result window.
[Test] is enabled if one or more systems is selected.
• [Edit] launches the Edit System window with the selected systems’ current settings. [Edit]
is enabled if one or more systems is selected.
• [Add] launches the Add System window with blank settings, except for the port number
(which defaults to 18650). The ODBC driver defaults to 2.0. [Add] is always enabled.
• [Add Like] launches the Add Like System window with selected systems’ current settings.
You can use these settings as a starting point for adding a new system. [Add Like] is enabled
if only one system is selected.
• [Remove] launches the Remove Confirmation window. [Remove] is enabled if one or more
systems is selected.
• [Clear Password] launches the Clear Password Confirmation window. [Clear Password]
is enabled if one or more systems is selected.
Define System
If there are no system definitions persisting from a previous session, regardless of whether the
currently running version of HPDM is a new, updated, or an existing installation, select the
Tools->Systems Tool in HPDM.
For information about completing the fields in the Systems Tool window, see “Add System”
(page 13).
Add System
To create a new system definition for the Neoview system, use [Add] to launch the Add System
window.
