Copying a data source

If you want to create a data source that is similar to an already-configured data source, you can use the configured data source as a template for the new data source. This procedure makes a copy of an existing data source configuration and enables you to modify the copy as needed.

To make a copy of an existing data source:

Procedure

  1. Log on to the MXDM.
  2. In the navigation tree pane, click Connectivity.

    MXDM displays a list of existing systems.

  3. Expand the system for which you want to create a new data source.
  4. Right-click Data Sources, and select Copy Data Source.

    The Copy Data Source window appears.

  5. Modify the required fields.
    NOTE:

    If you made changes to the values in a tab, but you did not apply the changes, you can reload the previously stored values on the server by clicking Reload.

  6. Click Create.

    The new data source is created.
