I am trying to learn about remote stores. In a C/S environment I want to export a table to a csv file and then copy that file to a local store and import the file into an in memory table.

To learn about remote store I thought I would play with ElevateDB manager. But I got stuck right away.

I have the server running as a service. In EDB Manager I attempt to create a remote store. I give the store a name and select remote.

On the Remote Login and Store tab, I get lost.

I enter the Default User Name and Passwords.

In the Remote Store section it states that I must select the store on the remote ElevateDB Server. When I attempt to select a store in the remote server, the combobox is empty. It must be connecting to the EDBServer, but there is no store in the server. How do I create a store in the ElevateDB Server?

Thank you,
Lee

Lee,

it's quite simple. On the remote computer you need to create a local store in order to use this store as a remote store from another computer.

Example:

PC1 with EDBServer running as a service, IP = 192.xxx.xxx.xxx, LocalStore "Test" as c:\test
PC2 as client

On PC2 open EDBManager and create a new store, set remote = true, choose the IP 192.xxx.xxx.xxx and the default login data. After that you should see the store "Test" if the connection to the server was successful.

That's all. Hope that helps.
