The next dialog prompts you to create a new Optim™ Directory. This Directory will store objects exported from the old Directory.

If you created the new Optim Directory earlier, leave the check box blank and click Proceed to display the Export Data from an Old Optim Directory? dialog, discussed in Step 2: Export Data from Old Optim Directory.
To create a new Optim Directory, however, select the Create a New Optim Directory check box and click Proceed to display the Information on Creating a New Optim Directory dialog.

From this point, the task is similar to creating an Optim Directory when configuring the first workstation. These steps are described briefly in the following paragraphs. For further details, refer to Create Optim Directory.
The first step in creating a new Optim Directory is to provide the name of the Optim Directory. The Configuration program prompts for this information by presenting the Specify Optim Directory dialog. You must select Create New Optim Directory and Registry Entry and specify a Directory name.
You must then specify the database in which to create the new Optim Directory tables. On the Specify Optim Directory DBMS dialog, specify the type and version of DBMS software, and optionally, provide a description of the Optim Directory.
The Configuration program must connect to the database in order to create the new Optim Directory tables and packages, plans, or procedures. To enable this connection, you must enter a valid User ID, Password, and Connection String on the Connect to Database dialog. This User ID must have authorization to create tables and catalog stored procedures or bind packages.
After the workstation is connected to the database, you can create the Optim Directory. The Configuration program names the tables automatically, but you can specify the identifier (Creator ID, Owner ID, or Schema Name) and the database tablespace for each table. The Create Optim Directory Tables dialog prompts you for the information needed to create these tables.
Before creating packages, plans, or procedures for the Optim Directory tables, the Configuration program displays the Create/Drop Packages, Create/Drop Stored Procedures, or Bind/Drop Plans dialog, depending on the DBMS selected for the Directory. You can choose to browse the SQL statements generated to create or refresh the packages, plans, or procedures.
If you are creating a new Optim Directory in a DBMS for which Optim provides Unicode support, you are prompted to indicate whether the DBMS is configured to store Unicode data.
The Configuration program creates a Windows registry entry used to access the Optim Directory. For subsequent access to the Directory from this workstation, you can use the Connect to Database dialog to specify a User ID and Password different from those used to create the Directory.
After you have created the new Optim Directory, the Conversion Process displays the Export Data from an Old Directory dialog.
