Connecting with an existing repository registration

When you start the program, the Connect to Infor BI Designer dialog opens. Here you administer database registrations and connect to a repository.

Note: The Connect to Infor BI Designer dialog also opens if you select File > Log on As within the user interface.

To connect with an existing repository registration:

Select the Designer database to work with from the Database drop-down list.
Select the authentication system from the Authentication drop-down list.
Specify the user name and password.
Click OK. The Infor BI Designer user interface opens.

Note: You must log on with a user who is the user management administrator and the repository administrator. Only those OLAP Server permission managements are displayed whose users have the OLAP Server administrator permission. To avoid problems when connecting to and working with the Designer repository database, we recommend that you map the log-on information for the SQL Server database that is used in the Designer repository connection string to the dbo user.
