HP Neoview Release 2.5 Software - Manual (Page 38)

When the Database area is selected, the navigation tree pane allows you to expand a connected
system, showing the database objects underneath it in hierarchical form. You can switch between
different systems and manage multiple Neoview systems from one user interface.
The right pane displays more detail about any object selected in the navigation tree pane. See
“Use the Right Pane” (page 39) . If no systems are defined, the right pane displays this message:
In order to use a system you must have added it. You can do so by
clicking the Add System button below. If you add a system and its
settings are complete and correct, it will be added to the My Systems
folder. If the system’s settings are incomplete and/or incorrect, it
will be added to the My Systems folder. In either case, you will be
able to edit the system later.
To add a new system, click [ Add System ] at the bottom of the right pane. If systems have been
added previously, the right pane displays the active systems.
