Using the CONNX Browse button (RMS Only)
The CONNX Browse button opens a Browse dialog which enables users to traverse VMS devices and logicals to locate an RMS file for the Table Properties tab in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
1. Select a table from an RMS database in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
2. Click the Browse button in the Table Properties tab.
If you are connected to the VMS server, the
Browse dialog box appears. Proceed to Step 4.
If you are not connected to a VMS server, the
CONNX Database Logon dialog box appears. Proceed to Step 3.
3. Type the Server name or IP address, user nam, and password in the respective text boxes and click the OK button to log on to the server..
Port 6500 is listed in the TCPIP Port text box by default. Any change made to the port setting in this text box becomes a permanent change to the port setting of the imported database. See
Editing the OpenVMS Site-Specific Startup Command Procedure in the CONNX Installation Guide for information about changing the port setting on the server.
4. Browse to a file and click the OK button to transfer the file name and path to the RMS File Name text box in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager window.
The two branches of the tree in the left pane of the Browse dialog box contain the devices connected to your VMS server and all of your VMS logicals. Select a device or folder to access subfolders and files. All of the available files in the selected device or folder are displayed in the right pane. The current path of the VMS system is displayed in the status bar located in the bottom of the dialog box.
