Create a New Database within the DRE

As an administrator, you can create a new database within the DRE. When you create a new database, you are essentially creating an index in the search engine.

To create a database:

1. In the Search Configuration Settings Resource tree, select DRE.
2. In the Configuration for DRE window in the Editor pane, go to the Databases field and click Create.
3. In the pop-up window, enter the name of the new database. This adds an entry in the PortalSearchDRE.cfg file and allows the DRE to keep track of which jobs are in certain databases.
4. Click Create.

Note: To quit the creation of a database, click Cancel.

The database is now shown in the Databases field.
