NOTE: The Systems Tool window shows the active system definitions. Editing an active system
definition causes all previously configured system definitions to be lost.
To edit a system:
• Select a system in the Systems Tool window and click the Edit button. This brings up the
Edit System window. In the Edit System window the title bar displays the system being
edited.
In the Edit System window these fields define a Neoview system:

name can be up to 32 characters in length, and consist of letters, digits, and the underscore
character.

field is left blank, the default data source is used if it one has been configured.

• Port Number — contains the NDCS server port number.
• Default Schema — contains the default schema to use if composing a query (optional).

In the Edit System window, these buttons allow you to test or add a new system, or close the
system definition.
