Connect Application Catalog Dialog Box

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager

The Connect Application Catalog dialog box opens when you choose to open an existing Application Catalog. This dialog box has three tabs:

Enterprise Server—Select this tab to open the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog database. See Enterprise Server Tab.
Standalone—Select this tab to open an Application Catalog database other than the AdminStudio Enterprise Server Application Catalog. See Standalone Tab / Specify Database Information.
Recent—Provides a list of recently opened Application Catalogs. When you select an Application Catalog and click OK, either the Application Catalog opens or you are prompted for login information (if you need authentication to the Application Catalog). See Recent Tab.

Making this the Default Shared Application Catalog

If you select the Make this the default shared Application Catalog option, the Application Catalog you are opening will become the default Application Catalog (and be recorded as such in the AdminStudio Shared directory).

If the Application Catalog is made the default, all other AdminStudio users that use the same shared directory will automatically connect to the default Application Catalog when AdminStudio is launched. Therefore, you should only set this option if you want to affect all AdminStudio users who access that shared directory.

Note:In the AdminStudio Enterprise Edition, only the AdminStudio Administrator or users with the Change Default Database permission will see the Make this the default shared Application Catalog option. This allows the AdminStudio Administrator to configure the default Application Catalog, and then subsequent installations of AdminStudio will automatically connect to the default Application Catalog if they use the same shared directory.
