Location Aliases Window

You use the Location Aliases window to create, edit, and delete location aliases. A location alias maps an alias name to the physical location of the database that contains the alias name.

In the columns of the window, you enter an alias and then enter or select the following information, relative to the remote database:

• Essbase Server—Name or IP address

• Application

• Database

• User name—Username for the Essbase Server that contains the remote database

• Verified—An indication of whether the alias information has been validated against the specified server

You click the Test button to verify the following alias information:

• That you can connect to the specified server with the provided user name and password

• That the specified application exists

• That the specified database exists in the specified application

To set your alias settings, you click the Set button.

To rename an alias, you select it, click the Rename button, enter the new name in the dialog box, and click OK.

To delete an alias, you select it and click the Delete button.
