For the Cumulus Administrator, the Catalog Access window is the starting point for performing numerous administrative tasks.
The Catalog tab of the Catalog Access window offers the following buttons and options to the Cumulus Administrator:
• New Opens a dialog for creating a new catalog.
• Add to List Opens a dialog for adding an existing catalog to the list of catalogs Cumulus users see when they connect to the Cumulus Server. Catalogs already contained in that list are grayed out.
• Remove from List Removes selected catalogs from the list of available catalogs. If Cumulus users are currently connected to such a catalog, the Disconnect Client window is displayed. Use this window to specify the time until the clients are disconnected and a message that is send to the affected users, thus allowing them to finish their work The catalogs are not deleted, but they are no longer administered by the Cumulus Server and thus no longer available to Clients.
• Rebuild Opens a dialog in which you can repair (rebuild) the selected catalog. (See “Repairing Catalogs”, for more information.)(See Administrator Guide for more information.)
• Migrate Migrates selected catalogs to the current catalog format.
• Done Saves the changes and closes the window.
• Open Opens the selected catalog files. Opening a catalog as the Cumulus Administrator is the first step to modifying catalog settings.
NOTE: For the Cumulus Administrator only, the Catalog Access window displays catalogs that are damaged. They are displayed in red.
