Edit PPM Connections
You can edit already existing PPM connections.
Note: Changes in PPM connection properties can immediately affect data feed calculations so that they may not execute properly.
For MashZone NextGen to connect and retrieve PPM data or charts, the following PPM applications must be started:
*PPM
*PPMClient
For details on your PPM installation, contact the system administrator in charge.You can enter PPM connection information manually or you can have MashZone NextGen determine them using the URL of a PPM favorite (favorites path). For information on copying the URL of a PPM favorite, see PPM on-line help topics.
