You can also set two properties that will affect the behaviour of the load process ...

 

If you wish any existing links to be overwritten if a duplicate is loaded, select "Overwrite duplicate links".

Otherwise select "Ignore duplicate links.

 

Some systems contain many thousand default links. As such it may take some time to load these links, and once the server has started you cannot interrupt the process without shutting down the AppServer.

To avoid the Load Default Links process taking too long you can set a timeout period. If the server process reaches the timeout period, it will terminate and no links will be loaded.

To set a server timeout period, check the "Set Server timeout" checkbox, then enter the number of minutes you do not wish the server process to exceed.

 

 

Once you have selected the System, click on the 'Next >' button to move on to the Load Default Links Wizard - Select Tables form.


Click on the 'Cancel' button at any time to leave the Load Default Links Wizard and return to inmydata Configure Data Sources without saving any changes.

 


Load Default Links - Select Tables


This screen lets you select the Tables for which you want to load the links for. Only table relations where both the tables in the relation are selected, will be loaded as default links. The form contains a list of Available Tables and a list of the Tables you have selected.

To select your first Table, click in the Available list, on the table you wish to select.  This will highlight your choice.  Then click on the '>>' button to move your choice over to the Selected list.

At least two tables must be selected.

If you incorrectly select a table, you can click on it in the Selected List and use the '<<' button to move it back to the Available List.

 

By holding down the mouse button and dragging you can choose multiple tables in either list, to move over to the other list.

 

You can also Select or Deselect All Tables using the "Select All" or "Deselect All" buttons.

 

If there are a large number of tables there are two filters which will limit the lists to those containing the text that is entered.

 

Once you have selected all the tables that you wish to create links for, click on the 'Next >' button to move on to the Load Default Links Wizard - Processing.


 

Click on the 'Cancel' button at any time to leave the Load Default Links Wizard and return to inmydata Configure Data Sources main screen without saving any changes.
