Add a System
If no system definitions are present from a previous session, regardless of whether the currently
running version of HPDM is a new, updated, or an existing installation, you must create a new
system definition.
NOTE: HPDM can connect to platforms running Neoview Release 2.3 and later. However, not
all features available in the current release are available in down-rev releases. If a feature is not
available, HPDM returns an error message.
To create a new system definition:
1. Use either of these methods to open the Add System dialog box:
• In the navigation tree pane, right-click the My Active Systems or My Other Systems
folder, and select Add System.
• Display the Systems Tool by selecting Tools > Systems Tool from the menu bar.
Then click [ Add ].
2. Enter information into the Add System dialog box. See the descriptions of each field in “Use
the Add System Dialog Box” (page 21) .
