Specifying the configuration parameters for a database server
You must define in a SDF each licensed database server
that you or your users will connect to using a QMF for Windows or
QMF for WebSphere application. For each database server that you
define in the SDF, you specify configuration parameters that provide
the technical information QMF for Windows or QMF for WebSphere applications
need to connect to that database server.
You use the Parameters window to specify the configuration
parameters for a database server. The Parameters window consists
of the following:
- The General page where you specify the
database server name in the SDF.
- The Security page where you set QMF for
Windows Administrator security parameters.
- The Connection page where you define the
type of connectivity that will be used to connect to the database
server.
- The Packages page where you create QMF
catalog objects and bind QMF packages.
- The Catalog page where you specify the
QMF catalog
that the database server will use.
- The Resource Limits page where you specify
governing resource limits for user access to this database server.
- the User Profiles page where you manage
the user profiles that have been defined for users who will be allowed
to access the database server.
- The Sample Tables page where you can create
sample tables that may help users learn how to use the QMF for Windows
or QMF for WebSphere applications.
- The Object Tracking Reports page where
you can run detail and summary reports that include the latest information
on object usage.
- The WebSphere page where you specify the
connection parameters for accessing the database server using QMF
for WebSphere.
