The UniVerse connection parameters are set on
the General and Details tabs on the Stage page.
Procedure
To connect to a UniVerse data source:
- Choose the data source name from the Data
source name list. This list contains all the data sources defined
in the folder in the repository.
If
the data source name you want is not listed, you can either type the
name in the Data source name field or create a table definition.
- Type the user name to use in the User
name field. You can specify a job parameter here, in the form
#parameter#.
- Type the password to use in the Password field.
You can specify a job parameter here, in the form #parameter#,
but it will be displayed as asterisks.
Note: If you
are connecting to a remote UniVerse system using LAN Manager,
or accessing a data file in localuv, you do not need to specify
a user name and password. In the case of localuv data sources,
the User name and Password fields are disabled.
- Type an optional description of the UniVerse stage
in the Description field.
- If you are using a DSN other than localuv,
click the Details tab. The Details tab
appears at the front of the Stage page.
- Specify the UniVerse account
to use for the connection either by account name or account directory:
Results
You can use a job parameter in any of the
fields described in steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.
