Connecting To An External Workbench Database - Symantec WISE PACKAGE STUDIO 8.0 - GETTING STARTED GUIDE V1.0 Getting Started Manual

Connecting to an External Workbench Database

Wise Package Studio Getting Started Guide
Enterprise Management Server only.
With Enterprise Management Server, you can connect to an external Workbench
database so that users can use its process templates. Do this to maintain master
process templates in a single database and ensure that all users across your
organization use the same standard, approved processes.
For configuration recommendations, see Additional Wise Package Studio Configurations
in the Getting Started Guide.
Use Wise Repository Manager to connect to an external database by selecting the share
point directory with which it is associated. When the connection is made, the process
templates in that database become visible in Workbench, and the predefined process
templates in the local database become unavailable. If the external share point is
disconnected or otherwise unavailable, then the predefined process templates in the
local repository become available. Process templates that users create in their local
database are always available.
Requirements
The external share point must exist.
Your share point and the external share point must be at the same version.
You must have access to the server on which the external Workbench database is
stored.
You cannot select your current share point.
If any of these conditions change (example: the external share point's server becomes
unavailable), an icon appears in the left pane of Wise Repository Manager, and error
information appears in the right pane.
To connect to an external database
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Symantec > Wise Package Studio >
Wise Repository Manager.
2. In the Wise Repository Manager, in the left pane, click the External Repository icon.
3. In the right pane, specify the share point that is associated with the external
database.
