Adding an External System to a Master Index Environment (Repository)

External systems are required for projects that connect an external system to the master index application. The Connectivity Maps in these projects include External Applications that will be mapped to the external system. Perform the following steps to add an external system to the master index Environment.

To Add an External System

1. In NetBeans, open the Services window.
2. Right-click the master index Environment.
3. Point to New, and then select system_type External System, where system_type is the type of Adapter connecting the external system to Java CAPS (such as Oracle, SQL Server, File, and so on).
4. In the External System Name field, enter the name of the new external system and then click OK.
5. To configure the external system, right-click the new external system in the Environment, and then select Properties from the context menu.
6. Configure the properties as described in the Adapter documentation, and then click OK.
7. Repeat these steps for each external system defined in the projects that will be using this Environment.
