Activating a Data Source

You can set up a number of data sources in the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Administrator. However, only one can be actively used by the UMS server.

Menu path: UMS Administrator > Datasource

Default path to the UMS Administrator:

Linux: /opt/IGEL/RemoteManager/RMAdmin.sh
Windows: C:\Program Files\IGEL\RemoteManager\rmadmin\RMAdmin.exe

The IGEL UMS Administrator application can only be started on the UMS Server.

To activate a data source, proceed as follows:

1. Select a data source from the list of sources that have been set up.

2. Click Activate.

3. Enter the password for the data source that you have selected.

While the data source is being activated, the application checks whether a valid database schema can be found. If no schema is found, a new schema will be created. An out-of-date schema will be updated, and, if the schema contains unfamiliar data, these will be overwritten.

Overwriting existing data means that the entire database schema will be deleted and not just the out-of-date tables used by the IGEL UMS.

4. Confirm each action.
