If the Portal has not been used before, or the saved copy of the UserSettings.XML file has not been copied back, then when first accessing the Syncsort™ Capacity Management Portal it is necessary to specify a Capacity Database, like this:
Figure 1. Syncsort™ Capacity Management Portal -
Administration tab to allow connection to a Capacity Database
The purpose of this tab is to enter the details of an existing Capacity Database, so that anyone who connects to the Syncsort™ Capacity Management Portal can access data from it.
Note: All other tabs will be disabled until at least one Capacity Database has been included
in the list.
Figure 2. Syncsort™ Capacity Management Portal -
Editable list of available Capacity Databases
When a record has been added, input the required details and click on the Save button, the chosen Capacity Database will be available in the drop-down list at the upper right-hand corner of the screen, as shown:
Figure 3. Syncsort™ Capacity Management Portal - Select
from a list of available Capacity Databases
Click the Capacity Database name in the drop-down list, so that it appears in the
list box. It is now possible to, create Web Reporting charts and dashboards using data from
that Capacity Database, and use Integrator to create and maintain Integrator templates and
Direct Database connections.
