List of Registered Database Instances 

This list shows the registered database instances and modes (Registering Database Instances). Only the registered database instances are shown in the selected folder by default.

The default setting can be changed if necessary:

Choose View ® Options. On the General tab page, select Show instances in subfolders. Once you have changed this setting, the list of registered database instances will contain all the database instances in the selected folder as well as those in the folders below.

You select the current database instance by selecting a line, that is a database instance.

You can use the display options to define which information is displayed for the database instances in the list, and the sequence in which this appears. To do this, choose View ® Options. On the Columns tab page, choose an option in the Available Columns, and move it to the Selected Columns by clicking the arrow key. To hide columns, carry out the steps above in reverse.

Depending on the status of the database instance selected, there are various functions it can perform and screen indications it can produce. Functions can be called up from the menu bar at the top of the screen and the menu list for the current database instance at the left-hand edge.

The system is configured in such a way that the connections between the database instances displayed and the DBM Server are established automatically when the Database Manager GUI is launched.

The default setting can be changed if necessary:

Choose View ® Options. On the General tab page, deselect Autoconnect instances. The next time the Database Manager GUI is launched, the connections between the database instances displayed and the respective DBM Server are not set up. You can then establish the connections selectively by choosing (clicking) the required database instance.

Double clicking on the database instance in the display opens this database instance’s short description. To move registered database instances to other files, select the required database, keep the left-hand mouse button pressed down and drag it to the desired file within the directory of registered database instances.

The area on the screen shown in red below is the list of registered database instances.
