You must define connections and identify configuration information for BigMemory stores that are created by and store data from external systems and then are used as In-Memory Stores in MashZone NextGen Analytics. For in-memory stores that are created dynamically by other systems, MashZone NextGen retrieves configuration and connection information from the Terracotta Management Console (TMC) that manages the host BigMemory Server.

For information on the requirements for in-memory stores that act as dynamic external stores for MashZone NextGen Analytics. See External versus Internal Datasets. For instructions on adding and managing external dynamic store configuration, see Add an External Dynamic In-Memory Store Connection and Delete External Dynamic In-Memory Store Connections.
