Use the Directory Explorer to create data store aliases
and connect to an Optim™ directory.
Working with an Optim directory
The Optim directory
contains the definitions, such as data store aliases, services, and
access definitions, that are shared among the Optim components.
Working with a data store alias A data store alias is a user-defined object
associated with a database. When you define a data store alias, you
provide parameters that Optim uses
to communicate with that database. These parameters include the type
and version of the database management system (DBMS) and the properties
for both a client connection and a JDBC connection.
