If you are using QMF for Workstation,
you can create a file repository connection to set up the information
that will enable you to connect to a file-based repository that is
stored on a local or network drive.
About this task
File connections can only be created for legacy, file-based
repositories. The later versions of QMF for Workstation and QMF for WebSphere® have
replaced file-based repositories with personal repositories.
To
complete the creation of a file-based repository connection:
Procedure
- Open the second page of the Create New Repository
Connection wizard.
- Specify a name for the repository connection in the Connection
name field. This name will be used to identify the connection
as it appears in the Repository Connections view.
You can enter any name but it is recommended that the name identifies
the repository for which this connection information applies.
- Select the Connect immediately check
box to connect to the file-based repository immediately. If this box
is clear, the connection information will be created, saved and displayed
in the Repository Connections view, but you
will not be immediately connected to the repository.
-
Click Finish.
The repository connection that you have just created will appear in the Repository
Connections view. If you have QMF Registry configured for your QMF client, select Local
from the Server list in the Repository Connections
view.
If you selected the Connect immediately check box, you are connected to
this repository. This repository connection information is entered in the connections settings
file.
