Add System Data
Sources
2
Before adding a data source, you should decide if you want to add a
system-wide data source or a data source specific to a user login ID.
Administering data sources on a per-user login ID basis is an optional
procedure. Use the following procedure to administer a system data
source. Follow the procedure in “
Add Login ID-Based Data Sources” in
this section to administer data sources on a per-login ID basis.
It is recommended that you add system-wide data sources for CentreVu
CMS, rather than having to administer data sources on a per-login ID
basis.
