Creating an RMS Database
In CONNX, an RMS database represents a collection of RMS files on a given server. 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.
To create an RMS database:
1. Click Tools -> Add Database Connection in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
2. Type a name for the database in the Database Name text box.
3. Select RMS as the type of database to create in the Database Type text box.
4. Type the name or IP address of the server in which you intend to store the database in the Server text box. Click the OK button.
The CONNX Database Logon dialog box appears with the server name and TCPIP port number entered as defaults.
5. Type an RMS user name in the User Name text box.
6. Type an RMS password in the Password text box.
7. Click the OK button.
The new database is added to the list of available databases in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window. Each RMS database listed in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window can be associated with a different server.
