Connection to the DBM Server 

Before you can manage database instances using the Database Manager GUI program, a connection must be set up between the database instance in question and your DBM Server.

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.

You can also change this default setting if necessary. Choose View ® Options. If you deselect the Autoconnect instances option on the General tab page, the system no longer creates connections between the database instances and the DBM Server when the Database Manager GUI is called.

Use

You can selectively set up the connection to the DBM Server for one, more, or all registered database instances, depending on the performance of your system. Similarly, you can terminate the connection between individual database instances and your DBM Server in order to reduce the load on your system.

Procedure

Setting up a connection between a database instance and the DMB Server

The State of the database instance is Not connected.

Choose the relevant database instance with the cursor. The system then sets up the connection to the DBM Server for this database instance. As a result, the Database Manager can determine the current status of the selected database instance.

Terminating a connection between a database instance and the DMB Server

To terminate the connection between a database instance and the DBM Server, select the instance and choose Instance ® Disconnect DBM Server.

The State of this database instance is now Not connected. The connection to the DBM Server has been terminated and the Database Manager is no longer able to determine the current operating status of the database instance.
