System Settings

When the System node is highlighted in the left panel of Cview, the right panel displays tabs that you can use to specify system-specific information:

Connection Tab

The Connection tab specifies the default connection for the system. These settings are used by databases opened or created from the Cview system. Cview reads these connection settings upon each Open or Create action; different databases in a single system can have different connection properties.

As with all system settings, connection properties specified here are not stored with the database. Even if, within a single Cview session, you establish multiple connections with differing properties, Cview only preserves one set of connection properties - those specified here when Cview exits.

Depending on how Cview was started, the information in the Connection tab varies. For more information about this tab, see Modifying Connection Properties.

Preferences Tab

The Preferences tab contains the following Cview preference settings:

Information Tab

The Information tab displays the results of the Cloudscape sysinfo utility. This tab displays, among other things, the class path and the Cloudscape and Java versions running at the time Cview was started.

This information is static; it cannot be modified from Cview, and it cannot be dynamically refreshed. The display reflects sysinfo output at the time Cview was started.
