Building a C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus Database Manually
To build a C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus database manually:
1. Select Add Database Connection on the Tools menu in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
2. Type a name for the database in the Database Name text box.
3. Select C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus as the type of database to create in the Database Type text box.
4. Depending on where the database you are importing from is located, do one of the following:
If the database is located on the same Windows machine, enter "localhost" in the Server text box.
If it is not, enter the TCP/IP address or server name in the Server text box. The CONNX Listener Task attempts to access the given server. If the server is unavailable or cannot be located, the following message appears: "The CONNX Listener process (CNXRUN##_MAIN) is not running on the system."
5. Type a C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus user name in the User Name text box.
6. Type a C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus password in the Password text box.
7. Verify the TCP/IP port number and server name. Enter "localhost" as server name for Windows systems,
8. Click the OK button.
The new database is added to the list of available databases in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window. Each C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus database listed in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window can be associated with a different server or, for Windows, a local host machine.
