In CONNX, a C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus database represents a collection of C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus files on either a Unix server or a Windows system. With the Add Database Connection feature, you can manually create new database connections to VMS servers on a given port. After the database has been created, you can use the CONNX import to add tables to the database, or you can manually create new table entries.

CONNX Data Dictionaries for C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus tables can be created manually. Once a location is established for the type of database files in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager dialog box, create new entries by using the Add button. Text boxes in the lower CDD pane define table properties and other features of the table, including levels of security. The data file name must be specified on the Table Properties tab in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
