Adding a Database Connection to a CDD
You can add a new or additional database connection to the following databases in a CDD:
ADABAS
CISAM
DISAM
Microfocus
RMS
VSAM
CONNX_CDC
This feature is useful when you want to import tables from a database that resides on two different servers. Adding the connection before importing data prevents the accidental deletion of files and data that might already exist in another database in the CDD.
To add a database connection to a CDD:
1. Go to the main online CONNX Data Dictionary Manager page.
You can select CONNX Data Dictionary from the home page or the tile menu on the top right.
2. Open a CDD for editing.
3. Click the Add DB Connection button.
4. Select a database type from the dropdown menu.
5. Fill in the required fields:
The database name in the Database Name field.
If you are adding a connection to an ADABAS database, the database ID in the Database ID field.
The server name in the Server Name field.
A username for the database in the Username field.
A password for the database in the Password field.
If you are not adding a connection to a CONNX_CDC database, specify the port in the Port field.
Turn the TLS/SSL opton on if you want to use that functionality.
6. Click Save.
